today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you

I had a great day today. Found out i'm in drivers ed starting next week which means my license is only a little while away, and no I am not embarrassed that I am in drivers ed as a senior. I'm a busy man give me a break.

I also got to ride home from tonight's basketball game, which was a 30 point win (nice job guys), with Evan Story. May or may not have been a good decision but we made it home in one piece. Evan called me ten minutes after he left my house and i was worried sick that he was going to be lost somewhere. Luckily he was at his house safe and sound. I don't know what I would have done if he didn't make it home safe.

I aced a vocab test that I didn't start studying for until 3 periods before. I was also a part of the vocab story test, but I lost the turnip tossing contest to Jared (highly unlikely i know).

We also had an NHS induction ceremony tonight, very official, the whole auditorium was filled. I had to escort the most people, but I didn't mind it one bit. I kind of like being in front of a lot of people. I'm working on becoming more confident this year. And I already feel a bit more confident about little everyday things.

Confidence isn't something that comes naturally to me because I come from a very humble family. No one in my family is cocky and no one likes to brag... except maybe my dad, but most of the stuff he brags about is all lies anyway. One of my fears is coming across as arrogant. I hate arrogant people, and i hate people who are cocky when they are extremely mediocre at something. I'm decent at most things I do, so I don't feel the need to let someone know how I did. I fee like they can see how I did, and judge for themselves.

But maybe a little "silent swagger" wouldn't hurt. That's a great Coach Palkism. It means going in to a situation knowing what you have to offer and knowing that your best is good enough. You never have to say it to anyone, you just show it through actions.

Final thought for the night is this... being told what you are doing is right. There is nothing quite like someone telling you that you're doing the right thing and that you deserve something. the truth is that everyone deserves to be happy, and everyone deserves someone who makes them happy. If you don't agree with that then... well then you're scared of being happy. That's all she wrote.
