Ego Boost

Last night my dad came home from being in Madagascar or Africa for the past week. He was still very sad about my grandfather so we all had to put on our smiles for him. I don't know if it phases my little brother, but my dads' constant absence is really starting to get to me. I think my dad knows how I feel because he is always asking me how he can be a better father, I know he tries the best he can to always be there for us; but sometimes I wish he was here if I needed to talk or I had a question on my homework. And I know that the only reason he travels is to give Connor and I a better life than he had, but it still sucks.

Anyway, I was on the morning bus as usual when My friend Max Hilliard was talking about his friend Arthur and Turnabout. Max says that both he and Arthur agree that I have gotten a lot hotter over Winter Break; this obviously brightened my day. And I'm not being conceded but when two guys agree that your appearance has improved drastically, it does brighten your mood a little. Then later I was talking to my friend Landon and explaining what happened on the bus this morning and he completely agreed, and then he said that more than a few of the other guys in Freshman year agree. Yet another massive boost to my ego. Then at lunch I was talking to Marcus and we were talking about Turnabout and Katie (and I found the perfect way to ask him, I personalized M&M's to say 'Turnabout?' in blue and "-Nicole" in silver, only because he really likes candy) and then I'm like, would you want to go with Katie? He answered so fast it was hilarious. By the way he answered with a Hell no I want to go with you. And yet another ego boost. It was epic.
