Subject: Happy & Sad
First of all, I'm quite happy Fall 2001 semester will be over soon. All the hardwork has paid off! I'm very thankful for having the opportunity to attend college. I realize that graduating from college is a stepping stone of all the effort and sacrifice pursued for continuing education. Yet, I feel somewhat sad because I will miss many friends and acquaintances I've met throughout my college experience. Graduation day will probably be the last time I get to see the wonderful and familiar faces on campus. There are no words to completely sum up my college experience except that it takes dedication and preserverance. I want to congratulate everyone who will graduate on Sunday and wish all of you a prosperous and successful future. Good luck to everyone in the job search. My message to other college students is to hang in there because your time will come to graduate. Lastly, may you have a safe and happy holiday! I also wish you a blessed New Year!

Subject: Advisors
My friend who is a History major and a Education major has been seeing this one advisor for the past two years now about all her classes. Every so often this advisor has been jerking my friends chain and keeps on adding courses. Yesterday a letter comes in the mail for her that says she needs to take one more course. She gets mad because she had already made her entire schedule of classes until she graduates with this advisor and at no time did she mention this class. She calls the advisor and tells her she did not mention this class earlier. And the advisor told her she thought she did and tells my friend she needs to take it anyway. I feel that all the advisors at this school needs to get their facts straight before opening their mouths.

Subject: Grad session
Friday I had an appointment to attend a grad session. It started at 10:00 and the night before I did not go bed until late because I had to do a lot of work. So anyway that day my alarm does not go off and I rush to get ready. I reach the session 10 minutes late and so I apologize and have a seat. Then another advisor comes in and the one that was in there in the first place tells her I just came and so to take me. I figure to start with me one on one. Keep in mind that I am only 10 minutes late and the grad session lastest from 10 to 11:30. The other advisor takes me and leads me all the way to Keller 305 where you make your appointments, she tells me that I am too late and have to sign up for another time. I was so mad. Sometimes these advisors have no compassion, want to keep us in school as long as possible and just don't give a $&*#!!

Subject: Noise at the Dorms!
Last week Thursday I went to do some studying at the dorms with a friend and it was so noisy. She lives in Gateway and I cannot believe how she can study in that room night after night with all that noise. First a car pulls by talking and laughing very loudly with another friend down below. Then, another car passes by with its loud music. Then two people are walking down the street playing around. And then the people next door were very loud. I was getting very upset. I guess dorm students are use to that, but I never dormed before so that night was an experience.

I'm still upset because that girl wasted my time, when I could have done so many things. I just wanted to be nice and help her, but she just stepped all over me and that was so worng! I'm so tired... I treat people nicely and help them, and so many of them selfishly hurt me, I'm just so tired of it. I'm so tired...

Subject: Spoiled little #$&@!
Recently I met a girl (28yr) that just came from Japan, and is staying here for the next three months. She asked if I'd help her look for a place to stay, so even though I told her that I'll be getting real busy with school, I would help her as much as I could. Two days later she called and asked me to help her, so I picked her up and helped her look for a place. The next day she wanted me to pick her up again, and she insisted I pick her up at Waikiki. I told her it would be hard to go there because of the traffic, but she still insisted because it was more convenient for her. (RAGE!!!) So, I went without arguing. She said she would call me at 3:30 to check up, but we decided to meet at 4:15 no matter what. When I got there at 4:15, she wasn't there. I asked her to wait on the corner of the street so I could just pick her up without parking, but she wasn't there, so I had to park my acr. 20 minutes later she finally calls me and says, "Why didn't you answer the phone?" Come to find out she was at Duty Free shopping all this time! (MAJOR RAGE!) She then had the nerves to say my phone is messed up!!! That day she told me she liked this apartment that we saw and she was going to decide on it. She said she'd call me next day to let me know for sure, but she never called. The day after that she called and yelled again, "I called you, you didn't have your phone on." I TOLD YOU I WAS BUSY!!! I wanted to yell, but didn't say anything. She then had the nerves to say, "I decided not to take that apartment, could you call ten more places and take me there tomorrow?" HELL NO!!!! I just told her that I am very busy and I didn't have time. She got real upset and hung up. Later I found out her parents fly her wherever she wants, whenever she wants, even though she told me she saves up $ to travel when she can. She drives a new Mercedes every year, and does wahtever she wants. She never finished school, and she uses people for her convenience. My friend and I both decided to cut her off imediately. SHE IS EVIL and I am so mad she waisted my precious time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Subject: Who in the world do they think they are.
OK i understand that yes the football players need some special treatment because they have to travle and what not, but what happened in one of my classes just blew my mind. We have our final next week and these two football players came to class a total of 5 times and i am being serious. Then they find out what is going to be on the final and they try to talk the professor into letting them take the final later because they need more time to study. Then the thing that really blew my mind was that the professor gave it to them. I just don't understand. If I were to have done that do you think my professor would have gave me an extension? I think not.

Subject: getting stuck in the middle
There is nothing I hate more then getting put in the middle of an argument. My two friends were arguing about something and I could see where both of them were coming from. They asked my opinion so I gave it to them and didn't say another word after that. Then my one friend thought I was taking my other friend's side and got mad at me too. Before you knew it all three of us wasn't talking to each other. So now I know just to keep my mouth shut because it will only get me into trouble.

Subject: Re: getting stuck in the middle
I empathize with you. I was once stuck in a similar situation when two of my friends wouldn't talk to each other, then they come running to me and ask what should I do, should I talk to so and so, what if she is still upset at me and on and on. Remember, it's not your fault for speaking up because they asked for your input. If they blame it on you, tell them you asked me so I'm telling you the truth. If you firmly explain that you're not taking sides and in no way show favoritism, then you don't have to worry about it. I believe that time will heal this dispute. Being the mediator or peacemaker is not always easy. Continue to be your normal self and show them they have to deal with this issue in a constructive and positive way.

She is going to leave California and live here till the end of next semester to be with me which I appreciate very much, but finding a good place that she would like at the perfect price is hard. It seems as though the good places are taken so fast. I willbe leaving to Cali after my final and be back the day before the spring semester starts. Hopefully I will find a place before that but if not then we will have to just find a place together I guess.

tournament at Kalakaua Gym. I was excited to fight Tahitians because they (and most other
Polynesians for that matter) have a tendency to stand and fight something I love to do
myself. Unfortunately they couldn’t find me a match from Tahiti and as soon as I
showed up to the gym my trainer told me that I was fighting a kid from Kaneohe named
Malcolm. “Malcolm” I asked, “aah Mike that’s my friend”.
“So” he responded, “just fight um, you still going be friends after the
fight. You spar with your friends and even your cousin why is this any different?”
“I guess,” I responded still feeling a little reluctant, as I was fully aware
that this was a lot different from sparring in that when sparring we use 16 oz. rather
than 10 oz. gloves and because we’re generally not trying to knock each other out
(negative blue feeling and thinking). At the beginning of the first round I thought my
friend was going to ease my conscious about having to fight him as when I put out my hand
to touch gloves at the opening bell he gave me a solid jab which made my nose start
bleeding. I got a little angry that while I was reluctant to even fight him he could so
easily not only fight but fight dirty (negative red feeling). All right, that’s how
it is I thought as I nodded and gave him a cynical grin (negative red thinking and
negative red doing). Unfortunately for me at least, he apparently thought I was throwing a
punch when I put out my hand to touch gloves because as soon as he realized what happened
he literally verbally told me, “ooh ooh sorry sorry” and put his glove out in
apology. I touched gloves shook my head turned out my bottom lip and then smiled sincerely
responding “naw no problem” (positive red feeling thinking and doing). I won the
first round but not as decisively as I should have and when I got back to my corner Mike
told me, “What the hell is wrong with you! You’re a lot better than this guy
just knock him out and let’s go home!” This made me feel pretty bad as I put my
head down shook my head and responded, “That’s my friend Mike” (negative
blue feeling thinking and doing). “Faq that!” he responded, “this is a
fight, you think he would hold back if he could knock you out?” “No” I
admitted. “Well then knock him out and let’s go home” he insisted. I did a
lot better during the second round as I let my punches fly (though not hard) and nearly
dropped him on several occasions, and during the third round I did even better but
thankfully I did not knock him out. After the fight and before the decision was announced
I ran up to his corner and hugged him telling him “good fight”. He smiled and
told me, “dam you’re a great fighter man, I’m glad I know you”. He
grabbed my glove and raised it showing the crowd that he thought I won the fight. His
trainer Todd yelled at him saying “DON’T DO THAT, YOU’LL SWAY THE JUDGES
DECISION!” “Faq that!” he snapped back angrily shaking his head, “this
is my friend and he beat me fair and square.” This made me feel very good as I
realized that rather than threatening our friendship it solidified it (positive blue and
red feeling). Date: 12/13/01 01:25:50 PM Name: Jade
Subject: Fire!!! I woke up at 5:45 this morning to the crazy sound of pop, pop, pop, and to the siren of fire trucks. So I looked out of the window to see what's happening and I see a huge fire at the dead end of my street. All I could see was huge flames and black smoke going up. A shack that belongs to one of the residents burned down. The firefighters were already there to take care of the commotion. I was tripping out because this is the first time I got to see fire up close. I hurried up and took a shower just in case if we had to leave our home in the event the fire spreads to the neighboring homes. (pessimistic thought) The good news is everyone came out alive! Thanks to the firefighters...They were able to stop the fire within 45 minutes. The craziness died down at 6:30 a.m. When I left my house at 7:45 a.m., the entire street was blocked off. We are fortunate to live on two sides of the street where our garage is located on the other street so we had no problem leaving our house. (positive thought) However, I feel sorry for our other neighbors that couldn't leave their homes because they have to wait for the firefighters and examiners to take care of the emergency.

While I sense that you did not have too much difficulty bridging as you realized that, “he was safer at home than driving,” I think that this situation has a lot more to be greatful for than angry about. You were given a chance to potentially save the life of a friend, so what if you had to walk three miles to do it. Furthermore given the recient bad weather your lack of mention about any rain or very strong wind implies that it was a relatively nice walk considering the potential hardships (much more than weather alone) that you very easily could have faced. Also perhaps it was a good thing that he drove (even if it meant that you had to walk three miles home) because as you were saying he was “puking all up in his car,” if you had driven perhaps you wouldn’t have had to walk but he would have been puking all up in YOUR car. Besides it’s good exercise and you will be rewarded remember your friend owes you. There are a host of other things that you could also be thankful for, it’s all a matter of mindset. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- Replying to: On Monday night i went to meet one of my really good friends at a sports bar.

I used to have a part time job as a private tutor. One of my student had a playstation and I used to play basketball game with him just to build a good rapport. It was a bad choice. At first, I had no emotions attached to the game. It did not matter who won. Beside, I played the game for only 15 minutes. But it became a different story when I kept loosing every day. Well, first I did not play with him every day but it became a routine because I kept loosing and wanted to play again and again. I was really mad at him and myself for not beating him. Besides, he was five years younger than me so I guess I felt little bit embarrassed. Well, after a while, I got bored and he got bored so it stopped. But playing a video game with a student for hours aren't exactly being a role model or building a good rapport. I think it made the relationship more hostile.

Subject: Stink water I was typing on the computer when my mom announced that she could smell the scent of sewer. (horrible smell that evaporates when the sewer line is damaged) First, we assumed one of the sewer lines broke. When my mom first told me I couldn't smell it. However, the wind blew in our direction and the scent started to permeate in our outdoor patio. When my mom stepped outside to check where the bad smell was coming from, she realized that our neighbor was cleaning their pond with their water hose. I know they have a pond with one duck. Just thinking about it grossed me out because I bet they haven't cleaned their pond in a long time. Their pond smelled like the scent of a broken sewer line. I hope their pond doesn't become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and dengue fever. Those neighbors also have children living there and I think they may be at high risk for dengue fever if the family neglects the pond or hazard environment. Yikes I better keep my eyes wide open!

We started playing this snowboarding game where the object is to get as many points as you can. To get the points, you need to do fancy tricks. We started playing and he kept on winning. I don't play video games that much but it really sucks when you keep on losing. Game after game, I kept on losing and my blood started flowing through my body a little faster. Plus there was lots of trash talking going on which didn't help the situation. Finally, I told him that I want to change games because I think this game really sucks. But the game didn't suck, it was just me that sucked at the game. We changed games and played a golf game. Again, I was terrible at this game. You had to push the button to make the club initially start the swing, then push the button again to make the power of the shot, and finally push the button again to make the shot go straight. Three times you have to push the button, which isn't that hard,but you have to push the button exactly on the right spot. I was hitting the ball all over the place and on top of it, we were betting a dollar a hole. He gave me chance at the end because he was killing me. Video games are supposed to be fun and entertaining. But I have learned that if you are not good at video games, then it could be really frustrating and produce unwanted anger out of you.

Subject: Re: Thanksgivig Rage My tanksgive was spent with all my cousins,aunties,uncles and family and I really enjoy spending time with them. But I only spend time with them at night where we eat dinner. but during the day i spend it slaving in the kitchen and cooking one turkey,two pineapple glazed ham, stuffing, mashing potatoes, and making homemade gravy. I was really stressed because I had to do it all by myself and I really didn;t have to make the ham but my sister don't like to eat turkey so i have to make a special ham for her. So in the day i was stress and at night i got to relax and not clean for the night. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- Replying to: I had one memorable thanksgiving this year. I have lots,lots of cousins in Hawaii. Every occasions, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, We get together. Thing is there are just too many of them, and I do not really know them well. Most of them are born here and they are way older or younger than me. So I do not have much fun at these family parties. Besides, I had couple of cousins at my age but all of them stay on the mainland. So, this year, I decided to hang out with my friends. Most of my friends do not have many cousins living in Hawaii. Usually, they are by themselves or they are just staying by their own family. I thought they would be bored. I meand spending time with family is good but it is not fun. So I called them up this year on Thanksgivig. Of course, I assumed they would have no plan. But it turns out that all of them had plans. I guess they did not want to stay by themselves. Well, I did get hold of couple friends but it was not up to my expectations. I was bit disappointed. I did get kind of mad when I could not get hold of some of my friends. I guess any unexpected event can cause some negative feelings in me. Well, next year, I am spending Thanksgiving at the party. hehehehe. Date: 12/10/01 08:49:25 PM Name: serena
Subject: Grandpa's birthday dinner My grandfather's birthday was last sunday and i wroth down how i felt and was doing at the time. We were all getting ready for the dinner and my mom, dad, two sisters went first to the resturant while i wait for my sister's boy friend to get ready. It has been 15 min since my mom left and that point my sister's boyfriend didn't come yet and i started to get very irriated because he didn't come yet and i really hate going to a dinner while everyone is waiting for us.

Subject: Re: Grandpa's birthday dinner Hey Serena, I think everyone in the house should've left the same time to avoid family chaos and perhaps the consequences of showing up late such as family disrespect, making the grand entrance, and all of that other stuff. If your grandfather's party was at a Chinese restaurant, then I think it's inconsiderate to show up late. Of course the bottom line is this birthday celebration was to honor your grandfather and it's his special day so I agree with you why you were upset at your sister and her boyfriend. Hopefully your sister and her boyfriend will learn from their mistake. That's good you spoke up and told her how you felt. They probably wouldn't have realized how crucial it is to arrive to your grandfather's birthday party on time until hearing your point of view. Allowing ample time to get ready and leaving the house much earlier would've prevented this conflict to occur. I think your sister should talk to her boyfriend in advance especially if this issue is very important to you and your family.

Also, it could make others mad and angry, which they should not feel. Especially if you are having a birthday party for you grandfather. I remember I went late to one of my work's meetings and my boss was pissed. It was a good thing that I didn't get fired. I didn't even think of the consequences of being late. So the best thing to do is leave a little earlier than usual.

Subject: sister's manager I have a teenage sister who is a senior in high school and she works at St. Germain Bakery. Anyways I was very anger at how a manager would schedule a teenage girl to work riduculus hours during school days. On Saturday and Sunday she works 5:30 in the morning and on school days she works all the way to 10:00pm. I wonder when will she have the time to study for school. Especially when she is going to graduate this year. If she would fail just because the manager gave her so many hours to work during school days i would go to the manager and yell at her. Just becuase she lives so close to the store doesn't mean that she is obligated to work when ever the manager said so. I am really mad and the manager.

School is more important and at that age she can find any place to work for—especially one that understands that she is in school and can’t work hours that conflict with her studying. I worked there for 3 years and I ended up quitting because I couldn’t take their crap anymore…besides the pay isn’t that great to screw yourself up. I would tell her to find another job. Right now I am working for a job that requires me to work hours where I can’t study. I’m supposed to be graduating in august but I know that if I need the time off, I will say screw you guys and take it regardless of what they say. In your sister’s case, I’m 90% sure her boss is working at Saint Germain because she didn’t have the brains to get an education and doesn’t understand the whole school concept.

But when i was expalining to her about my grandfather's doctor appointment she got very angry at me and yelled at me. To me i was upset when my told me that and all i did was shut up and not talk to her the whole ride home. When there was a car that stop to look out the window and i was at least five feet away from him and slightly slamed on the brake my mom practically bite my head off and she said why don't you get us into an accident. From there i couldn't stand it and i just explained what i just did in a very rude tone of voice and after that i just shut up and not say anything even when we got home.

On my way to work I see my exboyfriend on the road that I really didn’t want to see. Then I got to work like an hour and half late cause I woke up late. I left pretty late and was driving straight by the old Bea’s drive inn and this van comes out of absolutely nowhere and turns sideward into my lane. Might I add I had the right of way, was not speeding, and had a green light. So I slam on my brakes but couldn’t really do much else and slammed right in to her van. Luckily, noone was hurt and the damage on both cars were minor. She just said I’m sorry I didn’t see you and I guess you didn’t see me don’t worry about it I’m going to have a beer. So that was okay w/me and I walked around my car to get back in and saw that while I was parked in the parking structure during work and in class at uh someone puked all over the passenger side door of my car. It sucked! So I went through the car wash and it still didn’t all come off and I had to spray it with the hose and scrub someone else’s puke off my car with a damn toothbrush.

So like the nice sister that I am I did (even though he was pushing his luck and could potentially get me busted). Then like a week later he calls and tells me to add another 3 on. Boy was I pissed. I told my dad and he yelled at him so he called to apologize with this kind of half ass apology saying not to do it if I would get in trouble. So I told him not to worry and just don’t make it obvious that I got him and 8 of his friends in when he got there. I was sooooooo pissed cause on the day of the thing, right in front of my boss his stupid friends come up to me and were like “oh thanks” in sort of a sarcastic manner. I wanted to tell ALL of them off including my brother! But instead I just walked a way. What makes things worse, is that whenever I ask him for a favor he just blows me off. He’s such a jerk!

The game was awesome and Hawaii played awesome but the fans behavior was unreasonable. A BYU quarterback got hurt and the fans behind me were chanting “you got whacked” “you got whacked” I thought that was so very rude. How would you feel if you got hurt and people were chanting that?

Date: 12/13/01 04:38:26 PM Name: Richard Subject: Re: uh football fans You have to understand all of the different factors behind the fans
behaviors. Football is undoubtedly a contact sport and the object or one of the main
objects is to hit the other players as hard as you can with no excuses. The intensity of
the UH BYU rivalry was running in high that day. I think that the fans whether fueled by
alcohol or not were a bit pumped up for the game and even though the quarterback didn't
deserve comments such as the one's said by the fans, that's the reality of playing away
from home in front of hostile crowds. I think the way the fans chanted and cheered every
play helped UH to play even more inspired then if the fans hadn't cheered and jeered the
way they did. I think the fans were great in showing their support even if they were
hostile because if the BYU quarterback was down with a really serious injury then I think
that the fans would have had better sense to cheer something like that, but the play that
you are refering to was just an instance where the BYU quarterback just got his bell rung
and nothing more. I was very proud of the fans and their intensity, it mad it difficult
for BYU to get any kind of confidence in the game. We basically won the game before it
even started, but one thing I was ashamed of was when the UH fans booed BYU as they
emerged from the tunnel before the game started that was a little unecessary, but once the
opening kick off flies, it's all out warfare and anything and everything goes. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- Replying to: Yesterday UH played BYU a longtime football rival.

I still need to work on that area. I have to put up with my room mate's junk throughout the week, then I come home for the weekend and have to put up with my mother's junk as well. I was doing some homework and I was playing a cd on my computer. I knew my mother was going to bed so I up it as low as it could go before it was off, and she still was complaining about. It is unreal how she can irratate me with just the littlest of things.

By the time I got home it was late and I had to work the next day. I didn't have time to take off my nail polish and I totally forgot about it when I went to work. I didn't think anything of it because I had worn nail polish to work before. So I get to work and I punch in and I ask the manager where I was supposed to go. Then all of a sudden she starts to go off on me about me nails. I looked and explained what had happened. She was like that isn't any excues, so I asked her what she wanted me to do. She said well you can't work like that. So she made me walk all the way back to me house and tle off my nail polish. So I said fine and went. Then to make matters worse I was walking out the door and she comes to the front counter and yell at me that I better come back. So I just turned and left. I am very proud of myself because I know if this situation would have happened a few months ago I would have just gone off on her. Date: 12/8/01 10:38:48 PM Name: Giada
Subject: shopping rage I hate shopping. I passionately hate shopping. I can't just keep shopping for more than 30min. But I had to go shopping. I have to buy food and sometimes I want new clothes. Usually I try to keep my shopping very brief so that it doesn't cause me too much stress, but occasionally I exceed my limit and become very bad mood. That's when I become rude to other people such as employees and other shoppers. I get irritated more easily when I am in those bad mood. it's very hard for me to stay being a nice girl in those situation... oh, i hate shopping.

Subject: slow poke The other day on my way from work, I was driving Kalanianaole Hwy through Waimanalo. It is one lane road, so if there's a slow-going car, you are stuck. That's what happened to me on that day. There was a very slow-going car, which was holding up looong lane of cars behind. I think many drivers were very irritated. When i finally passed that car, I was so mad that I looked at driver's face and gave a dirty look. Then I was like, "oh, what have I done!" I became mad at myself for doing that inspite of all my time and efforts in this class.

Subject: Re: rage at phone people sometimes phone operators are very very rude. Is that because we don't see each other's faces? it's just voice, so maybe they don't treat people on the other side of the line as humans. I think it's similar to driving situation. On the road, it's not people to people, and more like machine to machine, so people tend to be rude and tailgate, flash lights, and block lanes. I think one way to reduce rude driving behaviors is to treat other cars/drivers with zeal...this is one of the ways suggested in the book. the book calls this "acting as if...". Act as if other drivers are your grandma or grandpa, or friends. I think it works. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- Replying to: I woke up this morning and decided to make a phone call but to my surprise my phone was completely dead. I guess it had to do with difficulties from the storm. Anyway, I went to work and called my house phone and all I got was a busy signal. I ended up calling the operator/repair and they checked the number after they left me on hold for 15 minutes only to tell me that there was a problem with my phone. So I asked them when they would fix it and today being Tuesday, they said they could have it fixed no later than 9:30 on Friday. This was ridiculous. I said “so you mean to tell me its gonna take three days to fix my phone?” and all she said was “well we need to figure out what the problem is.” I think that is just so dumb. I mean what if we had an emergency or something? And then she asked if someone was home during the day. I told her yes so she said a repairperson would come by. And i said when and she said sometime during the day before Friday. I just couldn’t believe how difficult it was to fix my phone and give me a straight answer. Anyways to conclude my story, when I got home my phone was fixed. Date: 12/8/01 09:45:22 PM Name: Giada
Subject: Re: rage against computer yeah, computer is a must-item for today's students, and it is very convenient. but it can be a real pain especially when it breaks very close to deadlines for assignments. The main reason of why we can be frustrated by computer is because we cannot talk to them. If it's a person, we can talk and possibly solve problems, but we can't do that to computers! unless we are computer experts, we don't know what to do. it's extremely frustrating. how can we take control over our emotions in those situation? we are frustrated and in panic... --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- Replying to: I remember writing about my rage agaist computer.

Couple days ago, I turned on my computer to finish up my report, I just want to finish up since I was already one day late. After I turned on my computer, I found something weird on my screen. It booted up all right, but all the images on the screen are blurred and i had a message saying something's wrong with my hard drive. I do not even know what it is but it made me extermely mad because my computer stopped working. The real problem was that A drive on my computer is broken so I saved all my work on the hard drive. Now I can not get to it. I hope I can retrieve it without much damage. Ohterwise, I have to start my report from scratch again. I already have so much work behind me and now my computer is not working.... Boy, I hate it. My friend is looking at the computer right now but I feel bad about this. I am just so mad.......... Why is this happening to me. It just pisses me off.

Subject: Re: Who the heck does she think she is? Hi! I'm glad you are putting your feet down because you shouldn't have to put up with crap from your sister! If your sister made the commitment to watch your aunt's children, then she has to stick with her word and fulfill those responsibilities until the deal is over. It's awesome to know that you are staying on top of school. However, your sister should take into consideration that studying and completing work does consume a lot of time so she has to realize that you can't always be home to cook and clean. The good news is she found a new job so hopefully she won't be complaining and taking out her frustrations on you. If she complains to you next time, tell her the choices that she made (didn't go to school this semester and temporarily unemployed) are the reasons why she ends up with what she has to face with now.

Shes always complaining about staying at home all day watching kids and having to clean up and cook dinner. Shes always on my case about going out and studying and not doing my share at home. I get so irritated because whenever I ask her a question she always get nuts and has to snap. I can't handle her, its not my fault that she got laid off and that she decided not to go to school this semester. Shes such a punk, I feel like slapping her every once in while. Then she makes committment to take care of my cousins for my aunty who went on a trip and then asks me to take care of the kids so she can go out and do whatever. Are you joking, what do you think. I was amazed that she even considered asking when she made the committment and I didn't. Finally she got a job but which is good that she won't be at home all the time and act like a ......! But now I know all we are going to do is fight over cars and who puts in gas and who doesn't. She needs to move out of the house or I do. I sometimes get angry just looking at her facial expressions.
