Breakeven

I haven't written on this thing in forever... 
It's quite sad. 
Well, I'm too tired to put up pictures or anything, but I got a new car... a black Toyota Yaris... which is exactly what I wanted! I had to go to a dealership with my dad and hassle with the hideous people that work there and I have decided that I will never go again. It is absolutely tiring and, all in all, a horrible experience.
 I got a job at the Gap! I really needed a summer job, so I'm ecstatic! I actually work tomorrow for, a whopping, three hours and that is all for this entire week. Hopefully, I get more hours next week. 
I graduate this Friday! 
I am going to attend 3 parties Saturday, which are all occurring at the same time... and it will be a great feat. 
Aisha, a foreign exchange student from Indonesia, is moving in with me Thursday, which is the day after tomorrow. I don't know how I feel about that exactly because now I feel obligated to take her with me everywhere and I don't really want to take her everywhere... but I love her, so I'll get over it. 
I really want to throw a graduation rave, but I doubt my parents... mainly my mom... will let me. Speaking of my mom, she is getting, more and more, on my nerves every second I am in her proximity. I want to party Friday night, but knowing my life, I will end up home and in bed early, not because my parents want me home, but because I have no crazy grad party to attend... screw this shit. I can't wait until college.
My mom promised me a senior trip to Europe, but that never happened. But a week ago, my sister asked if, for her birthday, she could go on a cruise to the Bahamas and we already have booked tickets for "the child that doesn't deserve anything" as my mom puts it, but somehow she always gets what she wants. I fucking worked my ass off to be the good child with straight A's and AP classes and tutoring and mentoring and symphonic band and mediating and marching band and soccer... and I don't even get to go to Europe when my dad, my mom, and my brother have all been this year... and my sister could have gone, but she didn't want to... I actually wanted to go and my parents told me I couldn't. It's about fucking time that things are going good for me. (I mean I've only been promised a new (used) car for the past 3 years)
yay for ranting
I know this is sounds super selfish because there are tons of starving and dying people in the world who don't have half as much as I do, but it's hard to not have these selfish tendencies after growing up in this privileged American society. One day, I will try and help people in need, but for now I want some justice because I have a hard time believing that my sister was a really good person in a past life and that she deserves to slack off in every aspect of her life and still get everything she wants. 
I hope graduation goes well because I'm tired, so good night.
