So today my little sister, Heather, is leaving for her trip to Europe. She'll be gone for about 3 months (maybe shorter depending on her money situation). She made me power of attorney over her account, so her money might run out sooner than she expects. What's funny about this whole thing is that my older sister, Alex, will be returning from South Korea. She's been up there for about a year and a half. So basically, I'm just trading one sister for another one. It's probably a good thing too, because Alex and Heather share the same bedroom and have a tendency to be at each other's necks. My only concern is having vomit-covered school bags being deposited in my room again overnight. Man, that made for a very unpleasant morning. You know what would make a good morning? Oh, and she might be smuggling a Korean kid to live with us for a while. I know it sounds dodgy but that's as much as information as I get from my family members. I can never get a straight answer from them and I typically have no idea what's going on. It's like my mom is Donald Rumsfeld.

ps. My new-fangled velcro shoes have fallen apart already. Sigh... ah well... la vie continue.
