Acts of Good #64, 65, 66, and 67

I haven't posted acts of good in the past few days, so I wanted to catch up with the ones that I haven't recorded yet, so here we go:

1. I've been talking to a lot of old friends and making sure to let them know how much I miss each of them, even the ones whom I didn't speak to often.
2. After being asked for my parents what I want for my birthday (which is coming up soon), I asked them for something that is definitely an act of good, and they agreed. I'll announce it later on closer to my birthday, and it's extremely exciting!
3. I gave two amazing friends birthday cards (and I gave one a present), though the cards required a bit of patience and effort, but their joyfulness made it worthwhile.
4. I've been an advocator of recycling even before I went to my new school, as that was one of the jobs that the student government representatives at my old school would accomplish, but after meeting Mollie (one of my best friends), I've become so much more, and I'm happy to say that I've been trying my best to recycle (and compost now as well) as much as possible, and trying to be more eco-friendly. :)

Acts of Good #56, 57, 58, and 59

1) Today, Mollie couldn't come to school because her plane was cancelled, so I took the time to email her the homework, though it was quite a tight squeeze with Student Government, and I was actually a bit late to the meeting, but I'm still glad that I wrote her. :)
2) Speaking of Mollie, she usually announces for people to remember to compost, so I took over that role for her- though now that I think about it, I'm not sure if anyone remembered to even bring the compost bin out... *sigh*
3) We took a math contest during math class today, and surprisingly (since I hate those things), I think I did pretty well, and I made sure to take my time in finishing it up, though the other people in my class had already left to go to our next class (which happened to be Gym). It made me late compared to everyone else, and I took much longer to run the laps required of us, but I dealt with it. I actually ended up coming out on time, and it worked out fine. I'm glad that I spent an extra few minutes trying to finish it up to the best of my ability.
4) We have some kids who are younger than us in our gym class, so I took the opportunity to try to socialize with them a bit, but I'm not sure how well that worked...

This is for You.

You needn't reply
if the words aren't there.
I know.
This is for You.

If I feel like the world is dead,
I turn to you,
and you understand.
This is for You.

After we read a depressing book,
we look at each other without true smiles,
and we both write.
This is for You.

If I feel as if been drowned
by my own condemning thoughts,
you lift me up, and I lean on you.
This is for You.

I was lost; yet now found.
I know not what else to say,
the words have slipped away.
This is for You.

The words are now gone.
They taste of melted ice.
Water that I swallow.
Escaped.

Act of Good #13

Today, I wrote a few messages on Facebook to a few friends from Oxford telling them how much I miss them and how amazing they are. :(

Act of Good #2

I just sent an e-card to my best friends about how special they all are. It made me feel really wonderful, and I hope they know how sincere I was when I sent it.

If you ever read this, Claire, Mollie, or Sonali, thank you.
