Random Act of Kindness

Today I was the recipient of a random act of kindness. I had to go to school early this evening to print off a chapter of my thesis. My school campus has free parking after 7:30, and I went around 8, so I knew the parking would be free. So I went up, printed some stuff off, then left the school at 8:30. As I walked closer to my car I noticed something on my windshield. At first I thought "Oh crap! I got a ticket! Did they change it so that I always have to pay for parking?". But no, it was actually a temporary parking permit. I guess a person that was leaving saw that my car didn't have a temp parking permit and since they were leaving, decided to give me theirs just so I wouldn't get a ticket. Even though the parking permit was unnecessary, I thought it was such a nice random act. It reassured me that good people do exist in this world. It made my day!

Since I'm blogging, I might as well blog about my weekend. I spent the weekend @ Center Island for the Toronto International Dragonboat Festival. I was competing w/ the Mac team. It was two days of fun in the sun, getting a bunch of free stuff (I got LOADS of Tide detergent samples and floss.. and I won a free fold out chair! sweet! :S haha) and some hard-core paddling. I was racing w/ MacRow on Saturday, then they switched me to Mac-A-Row-Ni on Sunday... which was alright cuz Mac-A-Row-Ni ended up winning their university cup final. Hooray! That race was amazing.. it felt GREAT... the team really felt like they were on the same page during that race. I had such an awesome weekend (and I got pretty dark too! haha). I bumped into so many ppl that weekend.. some ppl I havn't seen in over 3 years! Oh how I've missed dragonboating! If you havn't tried it.. DO IT! It's so much fun.. definitely a good social sport :D

Well back to writing... it's brutal.. I'm slowly trucking along....
