Last week from monday until thursday I helped my sister paint her classroom 
the first day was fine, just moving around things and cleaning the classroom and buying paint and taping the baseboards and outlets, but the next day things started feeling a little bit sour.

We started prepping the first wall with primer and our mom called my sister to pick her up so she left me to finish the wall, which I didn't mind, I spent the time making the wall nice and even with the primer. So when my sister comes back and we start working on the second wall she keeps telling me "It doesn't have to be perfect, we're going to paint over it." but of course it's going to look splotchy and uneven. I decide not to fight it and finish the wall as fast as possible.

 So by the time we get to painting on the third day with one of her friends, we have to apply more coats of paint to the second wall in order to get it to look as good as the first wall I primed evenly. During the time we're painting, my sister keeps complaining about my playlist saying how it's not as good as the one from yesterday and keeps telling me to change it but the thing is that the playlist from yesterday is the same one I was playing today.

On thursday my sister pisses me off before we even get to painting, we go to raising canes to get some chicken and while we're waiting for our food she yells at me that I'm standing too close to her and that she needs space. I guess i exerted enough negative force of will that our car slipped its belt and needs to be towed away. Later our mom comes over to watch since she had nothing else to do today and we finish up the classroom as best as we can since I had to go to the dentist tomorrow.

It was a lot for my first week being off school, and I'm sure it's only going to get better from here.
