I’ve received an iPod from my uncle, who is visiting with his wife and his children. Yes, his children.. Also my cousins. Karen is six and Ethan is three. Karen is the cutest six-year-old ever. She’s so sweet and lovely.
I am afraid of using the iPod because I’m likely to have it attached to my ears 24/7 and that is a big reason for my dad to take it away from me. And since a long time ago, I’ve learnt that he cannot and should not take the things I buy with my own money.
Speaking of my own money. I got my first paycheck yesterday. Before tax deductions it was 311 ish dollars. After tax deductions it was 253 ish dollars. I have wanted to spend about the first hundred. But after I’ve announced this at dinner, my mom asked me, “Have you ever thought about paying for some of your tuition?” The moment she asked me that, my ears went red. I felt extremely guilty because I never have, I wasn’t sure if I can return to school come September, so I have not started to worry about my tuition yet.
Anyway, a little of my worries at the moment.

An ipod! That’s delicious. (finally!) What kind is it?
Just as long as you don’t take it out too much around your dad, everything is okay. (Or slowly add to the amount of time you’re listening to it around him He’ll get used to it’s presence.) Well, he shouldn’t really take away someone else’s gift to you…
Congratulations on getting your first paycheck. good job on the hard work!
What do you mean you’re not sure if you’re returning to school in September?! Please, elaborate.

besides, split expense with your parents: they pay for tuition, you pay for living expenses. that way they can’t stop you from buying anything XD

Part-time or full-time. It’s more or less the same thing in the summer.
