Random acts of kindness

 
Hi.

    So, it turns out that my French oral exam is actually next week and not this week like it was supposed to be due to circumstances beyond my control. Most people would have been overjoyed by the prospect of having an extra week to revise but not me. I was quite bitter about it for a while (I ranted to anyone who would listen) because I was really ready to have it this week and I don't like to over revise as that just allows panic to set in and you can often start to forget things. However, I got over my anger and I've decided to take this as a blessing. Maybe this extra week of practice will help me get that A* instead of an A (but I would be very very chuffed with an A, that's all dream uni is asking for).

  Due to all this extra revision, I haven't had much time to read for fun (sad times). Therefore, this will not be a book reviewing post, unfortunately. I want to talk about random acts of kindness and doing nice things to surprise people. I'm often told that I tend to go over the top for birthday presents. For example, I once gave someone £50 because he was my first friend at the second school that I go to. He wasn't expecting it at all which made it even better. I made a friend a scarf and another a tie because I'd promised them months earlier that I'd do it. They were shocked that I remembered my promise when I gave it to them as well as being surprised at the fact that I had also bought them cakes. Another example which I view as one of the best things that I've ever done is the time that I gave my bestfriend tickets to meet Justin Bieber. Anyone that knows me knows how much I love Justin Bieber but seeing her face and how happy it made her to meet him was a reward to me in itself. OTT, I know, but they all deserved it.

  So, why do I do this? I think that great people deserve great things, especially if they're good friends. I also make a big deal of birthdays because being one year older is something that we shouldn't take for granted as not everyone in the world is that lucky.

  Hopefully, I'll have a book post soon but now, I shall leave you with the 'cookie cake' that inspired this post. He said, "Why are you doing this for me?" I said, "Because we're friends!" And the fact that he didn't expect it is exactly why he got it.
