Semana Tres

           I should have probably mentioned this in the first blog, but my sisters favorite color is blue. Therefore the reason why my layout is blue. When I think blue, I think ocean. And I really believe that the ocean represents my sister. 

          Why you may ask? Imagine yourself on a little boat, all by yourself. Imagine nothing but different shades of blue water surrounding you. Listening to the soothing sound of water rocking against your boat. Looking at the birds flying high over you enjoying the view. And out of nowhere, SWOOSH! Giant shades of blue rocking your boat uncontrollably. The hard noise of water smashing against each other. The birds making there annoying bird sounds. Suddenly, it gets dark. It's raining. And thunder starts to sound.

           As for that description, my sister can be very sweet, and calm at times. She can make you extremely happy. And can make you feel at peace, like the ocean. 

       

          But for some reason is quick to change into someone you dislike to be with when she becomes aggressive with you. She starts to fall into a dark place, says things that are just horrible. Things you never want to hear from someone you love. Like the ocean, she begins to move around all over the place. Just how the ocean tries to get back to its soothing, calm, waves; my sister tries to get back to her sweet loving self. 

          Still no regret in picking my sister as my observation. As sometimes I feel like I may be writing about the same things but in different settings, she ends up surprising me with new things. Never imagined of thinking of her as an ocean. 

          

Week Two

This week, I only got to be with my sister for a couple of days. I didn’t get to observe her as well as I’ve been able to because I went out of town. So for the few days I was able to be with her and observe her, I noticed she wasn’t really talking as much as she usually does. She is usually energetic and all over the place. I thought maybe it was because she’s getting older, going through puberty and stuff like that.

Turns out she was sick, and had a terrible stomach ache. Explained why she didn’t really want to do anything, that whole day she spent laying around and watching TV. Since my mom had to go to work, I was left taking care of her. I made her some soup, and we watched her favorite movies all day. 

The next day she was feeling better, I'm glad because it was her birthday. And who wants to be sick on their birthday? No one! We had actually celebrated her birthday last weekend, my mom took her out to sushi; it's one of her favorite foods. We also took her to go watch a movie, the Ouija. It was a terrible movie so it wasn't any fun not watching her get scared. Since she is easily scared. 

She's a strong girl, but at the same time emotional. She gets the most emotional when she is compared to her dad. There's been a lot of past experiences we've had that leads to the reason she doesn't like being compared to him. It's sad, but I don't blame her. To end this post, the last day I got to spend with her, she was full of emotions. She was sad for the fact my mom and I were leaving to San Diego for the weekend. But at the same time she was happy because she wasn't going to be stuck in a car for 11 hours. She cried a little before we left, and hugged us both really tight. I hoped that the few days I wasn't with her would go by fast for her. 

Semana Uno

       Today is the very first day I have sat down and really observe my little big sister.  I call her my little big sister because she's super tall and only 11 years old. A few things I have noticed is that she is very insecure about her height, weight, and foot size. She also gets teased a lot at school because of all those things. It really sucks, which is why I think she has gotten so insecure about every little thing. she towers over everyone in her class, and her classmates think that just because she is tall, she belongs in a different grade. Then that leads to her thinking she is stupid, which she is not. 

    On the subject of school, I've noticed she is a very slow learner. It takes her awhile to understand anything they have learned. My mother thinks she is just lazy and doesn't like to pay attention, but I believe it does take her a tough time to understand. Especially with so many of her classmates teasing her most of the time and my mom talking to her in a high angry voice when trying to help  her with homework.

  

     At home, I've seen she loves to have my mother's attention. She will get jealous when my mom is babying any one of my sisters or myself. She'll get sad when this happens, and will leave to another room and start to cry. My sister is a very energetic kid and loves to do all these activities. She loves to go on YouTube, turn up the volume and sing along to a song at least 15 times. When it's a pretty day outside, she loves to go outside and play with her neighborhood friends and play soccer, tag, ride their bikes, and just hang out.
