Man, it sucks not having money.
I need to stop looking at clothes online.
I feel like a weiner because I want to complain about how much time my family takes from me- while they expect me to be financially independent. I think I'm realizing that nice things they do for me also kind of hold me back, even when that's not the intention. My mom employed me filing for her, and that job ended on the fourth. I found another job just to have to quit because my brother's coming up for a week and then my aunt wants me and Lizzy to come to England for 2 weeks, 3 days. I know I am very lucky, but it's also agitating because I've only made 70 dollars this summer that wasn't because of my parents (my two training shifts at american eagle before I quit). Next summer, I need to just get a job full time that doesn't involve my parents- looking in Moncton from the beginning- which makes that task more possible I hope. The only way I'm getting money is doing gardening and such for my parents- but it's really a pain in the butt- for example, It cost me 70 dollars round trip to get to my dad's and back when I earned 200 working for him. That really cuts into things.. I think I'm supposed to pay for myself in England and I know I can't. I hate being dependent on my parents, but right now I feel like I have no other choice. I know I'm very lucky though. I guess everything has pros and cons. I have enjoyed seeing my family as much as I have this summer.
I've had the most predictable summer yet though, and it was as great as I thought it would be.
Sometimes I feel like I'm learning stuff.
