I got damn inspired today, that's what happened.

I am really bad with organization and procrastinate a lot, for background. I'd always wanted to get better, but no amount of promise, unlocked potential, or my mother yelling at me would get me to improve. Sure, I had goals and ambitions like anyone else. But I didn't have anything stable to look to, my goals would become irrelevant or get shut out because of some other force, and I'd be back at square one. In short, it was bad.

But then today happened...

So, I was sick for a couple of weeks before and got my report card with 16 absences for the month of February. These wouldn't have been on there had I sent in a note explaining my abscences to the office, but my note needed signatures from more teachers, along with revisions to the dates I was absent, so I kept putting off handing it in.

I'd been showing my report card to people, laughing about the fact that I was almost failing Physics because of my absence, but getting straight As in everything else, the fact that my English Teacher showed no sympathy for my illness, and of course, the 16 absences. Most people just laughed along with me and went back to their business.

But when I showed it to one of my friends (Whom I have been in love with for a VERY long time), He actually asked why I didn't just hand in the note, despite me not bringing it up. I simply responded with the fact that I procrastinate a lot, because I am an awkward little fuck. But then he told me "All right, Cubert, if you hand in that note to the office, maybe I'll let you go with me to prom."

I learned that day that the potential to get laid can really do something for your motivation.

Joking aside, I really do feel as though he wants me to get better. He's had to overcome his own hurdles in life, but he braves though all of them and is a better person because of that. Not only that, he is always completely on board whenever someone else wants to change something about themselves for the better, whether it's losing weight, becoming more confident, or in my case, getting my doubts and stress out of the way so I can think clearer and be organized. When I become a great computer scientist, or an engineer, or whatever I end up doing, I'm going to owe a big chunk of my success to him and his support.

TLDR: I'm getting my shit together over spring break, not just for me, but the ones I love, too.
