current mood: blah
Gaaah.
I don't know what to think about my relatives. Aunt and grandma live quite near, grandpa and uncle live there too at times. Uncle mostly workweeks, because he works here and his family lives almost the other side of Finland.
So, they live about 2-3 kilometers away from my place, and I spend my time in there. (Watch tv, mostly, 'cause I don't have my own - I'm under aged poor student who lives completely on her parents money, so no tv.) Every time I go there, I am being.. spoiled. Everything is brought straight under my nose, and aunt always asks "Do you want or need something? I can make some food, here this and that and that, wait, I'll give you money..." etc. It's nice, but sometimes I just can't help feeling embarrassed.
Yesterday, I was heading for one special market (cheap one) but in the middle of walking in snow I thought I'd go over relatives place instead. And I got stuck in front of telly :p Aunt made a bed for me and in the morning I was supposed to walk the 1, 5 kilometers to the market, but grandpa drove me there. And waited outside and drove me to home. He would've driven me to school too but I said it's not necessary. Both aunt and grandpa gave me money and stuff. \o/
What bothers me is..
I don't hate my cousin. She's 6 and tolerable for the few days a year I must spend with her. I'm child enough to play princess with her, and artistic enough to draw.. princesses. But she's spoiled. The princess of whole family..
When I showed my aunt this beautiful butterfly necklace my mom bought me from a cruise, her first reaction was "Aww, you must not let (my cousin) see that or somebody will have to go Stockholm to buy her one too!" ... O_o
When we talked about spring and summer, aunt told me that she had bought all kinds of seed "So I can plant pweeetty floowers for (my cousin) to pick up and put behind her ear!" ...Great. If I, as a child, had picked up planted flowers, the reaction wouldn't have been exactly "Aww so cuuute ^__^" ..at all.
I AM your niece too, you know. And although you spoil me as well as her, (just with money and expensive clothes and stuff, instead of toys) I don't appreciate the thought of buying 6-year-old a necklace that cost almost 50 euros, no matter how pretty it is or how much she'd like to have everything I have.
And now crossed my mind even more offensive thing my mom did. Yea, she's a godmother to that bratpricess, but still. I had a pretty fan, which I found in store with much difficulty, and we had almost a like with one of my dearest friends. My cousin saw it, told me it was pretty and next week mom comes to me: "(My cousin) wants that kind of fan too, so I bought this one but it's not completely a like, so could we trade?" O_o the brat hasn't even seen the other fan. So now I have the one mom bought. Just in case - we don't want the princess to be sad.
Yep.
School is almost fine. I almost can manage - just and just. I even have courses done! Something like 5 and all others have.. maybe 16. Blah. And today I had to go to schools office, because in my class schedule there was only one class for next few weeks. Nice. So I was late from the next class, which happened to be swedish and it was the test. The test I couldn't do 'cause I wasn't let in the classroom, 'cause I was late. :P
