I'm being thrown out!

My sister is throwing me out of the house. Can you believe that? She actually wanted me to go out today, go to the mall or something (wherever I want daw basta out of our room). Why? Because she said she's going to concentrate on studying her lessons for tomorrow's prefinal exams, and apparently she can't concentrate when I'm around. OK, so why the sudden determination to study? I'm guessing she got very low midterm grades (she didn't show me her grades for the first time). That's what she gets for being late all the time (despite my nagging her to get up and hurry) and for reading manga instead of lessons. She is trying to get an average of 4.5 (with no grade less than 4.0 in any one course) for this semester coz I gave her a quite nice incentive. Our agreement is that, if she gets an academic scholarship for next sem (based on her grades for this sem), I'm going to allow her to stay with me here in Cebu for the summer (she doesn't want to go home coz she gets bored there) plus I'm going to pay for Japanese language lessons she really want to take (I think due to her being an anime and manga fan). So that's why she's getting serious with school work. As the one financing her tuition fees, of course I want her to get the scholarship (big savings for me) but at the same time I'm partly (teeny weeny itsy bitsy microscopic only) hoping she wouldn't so I wouldn't have to keep my promise to her for this summer (coz summer means famine for us faculty with so few students and so few summer load). Hahay! I guess I'm gonna have to start saving now, huh?!

Well, let her be! I even let my brother use my room when he is studying.
