Читать книгу Genesis of the Guardians - Kevin Qi - Страница 6

Well, today sucked. My dad’s boss wants him back in the States again because their senior software developer has been missing for a week now, so our trip to Australia has been cut short. Again.

Okay, I’m probably being a little ungrateful.

Fine, I'm being really ungrateful.

But the thing with being homeschooled is that you at least get to spend more time with your parent, or parents if you’re lucky enough to have both. My dad’s business trips means that I get to discover new places, make new memories, and then come back to the hotel and get to spend time with him. But when we’re back home in Boston, he’s at work until nine, and instead of exploring, I find myself at my computer, doing homework (what other kind of work would it be if you’re homeschooled?) or playing video games alone.

If anyone ever reads this journal, if they play video games, I swear they’ll hate me forever.

I mean, video games are fine, but you really can’t replace your family with them, especially if your dad is your only family. Video games offer an escape from life, but sometimes life is the last thing you want to escape from.

Oh, and not to mention, it’s my birthday, and I’ll be spending the rest of it on a plane. Sometimes I wish my life wasn’t so dull.

Oop, I’m boarding in a few minutes. I gotta go. Bye kangaroos... ;(
