Ok, so as of right now I'm spending the entire summer (till August 12th) in Jacksonville, Florida with my Aunt, Uncle and other Aunt. I've been here since June 10th. Why am I here? Well, my parents, my "father" and I do not get along but me and my mom are pretty tight, so they decided to send me here because apparently "it'll be good for me and I won't just spend my summer asleep" Though this has started to not really be the way I want to spend my summer between freshman year of high school and sophomore year. First of all, one of the only reasons I agreed to come here was that I thought I was going to be working. My uncle, not blood related, he married my Aunt, assured us that he had hooked me up with a job at this bar. So, since the tickets were already bought, I turned down a sure thing job offer at an amusement park back home in Arvada, Colorado (a north western suburb of Denver) Well, here I sit, it's July and I still don't have a job. That screwed my plans of renovating my room when I get home... On top of the fact that I am a Seattle girl at heart and am dying of heat and bugs here where it's eighty degrees AT NIGHT, I have literally done nothing all summer. Literally all I do here is stay up till 2 or 3, sleep till one, shower, eat, watch T.V, work on my novels, wait till someone gets home from work, go out to eat because no one really cooks, watch TV and go to bed. I took swimming lessons, but I hate them with a burning passion. At first being away from home was cool and everything, but it's been a month and it's certainly lost it's luster. Like, I hate Arvada, Colorado in general, but at least if I was home I could see about a job and I could hang out with my friends and see my mom. And then while on this trip I discovered that I really dislike my uncle. He nags about me having the AC on a degree or two too low, or forgeting to turn the fan off (both of which I've done only once) Or makes snide comments, like I was talking to my Aunt's friend, saying "I'm here till Aug 12th" And he adds "As long as she's on her best behavior" Which, I don't mean to brag, but I'm a d*mn good 15 year old. Or he'll always say "You sleep really late" Yeah, because I have nothing better to do. Or once he said to my Aunt, whom I'm fairly tight with, "When do we send your brother the bill for her?" I don't mean to seem like a b*tch or anything, really I don't. I'm just frustrated, though Y!A is the only place I've voiced this. But I'm at a point where I don't know if I can make it till August. Like, I'd rather be this bored at home where I have some friends. Or where I can eat a home-cooked meal for the first time since I came here. But if I say "Hey I want to leave" I don't want to hurt my Aunts' feelings (my uncle I couldn't give a sh*t about) And all of this on top of the fact that last x-mas (when they came to CO) I opted to visit my other side of the family in my own personal heaven, Coastal Washington. I'm really so close now to my wits end, I just don't know what to do at this point and I need advice. Thanks. (Sorry that was so long, like I said above, I'm a writer.)... Read More »
