I'm finally getting used to the whole school, no free time thing. Though i must admit, the [home]work load isn't getting heavier as such, as i had more homework on Thursday than i did today. I have trouble keeping up in Extension English and in Advanced English, Mrs. Webster sure likes to give us work. Music is still fun, for the pure fact that we virtually don't do a thing. Maths is horrifically easy, and doesn't seem to be getting harder. I still think it's quite amazing that in every class, everyone is silent for the teacher and almost nobody is disruptive. Maybe it's the sort of people i have in my classes, but others seem to agree with me.
I finally realised i'm too lazy to have a job while school's on, so i get home, and my grandma says, 'i'm going to see the manager of Franklins and Woolworths tomorrow to try and get you a job', oh joy. Now there's no 'yeah, i went to see them and they said they didn't have any positions open'. I just don't feel that's it my job to 'provide'. When you have a child, you're expected to provide for them, but what does my mum do? Fuck off to Malaysia, i remember the good times when she actually had a job and our finances were fine. So, this is how i see it, i'm here, in Australia, studying full time and i'm expected to hold a job after school and on weekends (the only free time i have), while my mum is supposedly in Malaysia 'starting a business' even though she doesn't have a working visa and it's illegal for her to work. And where's my dad in all this? Probably living it up, since he hasn't paid child support since November. I'm not ready to start taping my favourite tv shows every night, sorry. Wait, what time does Franklins close? I assume it closes arount 5, yes, there's so much time to work from the time i get home to the time they close. Well whatever, if i miss the Will & Grace marathons on Saturdays, someone's throat is gonna be slit. And may i just point out, i didn't quit KFC because i was lazy, i quit for the reasons i have previously mentioned, seeing as how in the holidays, all day is considered as free time.
While it would be nice having my own money, my Grandma said earlier tonight that she'd expect me to pay $20 of school fees a week, and pay for my piano lessons. So that's $80 a week, how much fucking money does she expect me to earn? I'll be left with what? 50c if i'm lucky.
On a lighter note, do you like my new template?
Oh, look what i found, another reason not to eat at KFC.
