Today at school was nothing special, except that Tuesdays
are always my favorite days because we have math, English, and English laboratory.
I really like English Lab. Today, the teacher asked me to translate the school
song into Spanish so that the PE teachers could have it (I guess they had asked
for it or something), and so me and the kid next to me worked on translating it
together. It was actually really hard (If anyone knows the word for “welkin
ring” in Spanish let me know) but we did it more or less. After school, I went
home and worked really hard on finishing that entire letter of recommendation
packet. I took a little break to go for a run and to eat dinner with the
family. Then, I talked to Nancy for a while. I have been a little frustrated
with the family lately because every single weekend they make plans for me to
go to some family party with them, and I never have time to do anything with my
friends. I always have to turn down the invitations to parties that I get
because I’m busy with my family. This weekend my family is invited to a
birthday party for my dad’s friend’s son who is turning 5. We are supposed to
go to Santiago and stay overnight on Saturday just to go to this party. That
was the last straw and I decided I really need to put my foot down and make
them let me hang out with my friends more. I talked to my mom about it, and she
said yes I can stay here this weekend and sleepover at Katie’s house and go to
the party I was invited to Saturday night. I was really happy, and I think now
my family understands more of what I want. I just have to be less afraid to ask
them for things. But I also understand why they are so protective of me. Taking
care of someone else’s kid is a really big responsibility.
