Act of Good #60
I got second in my grade in a math competition! Part of it was probably just luck, but I feel like I did really well for what I expected before I took it. I just wanted to commend myself for that. :)

Acts of Good #53, 54, and 55
I just came back from Boston! I'll probably post some pictures later on, most likely on my other blog for traveling, http://corastravels.blogspot.com.
Yesterday, I went to the Science Museum and it was BRILLIANT! I LOVE science museums. xD
My first act of good for this weekend was that when I was in the museum's bathroom, there was a little girl (probably about 2 or 3 years old) and her mom, and the girl was impatiently dancing around and whining. I wanted to let them go ahead of me, but I wanted to teach the girl patience. Then, I realized that she would almost definitely not remember that moment in time, and she wouldn't realize its significance in the future, so I went ahead.
My second act of good was over the whole course of the weekend, and it's on more of a green note: Whenever possible, I searched for recycling bins to discard my recyclables and I made an extra effort to turn off lights, use hand dryers instead of paper towels for drying my hands... etc. Our city's airport doesn't have recycling bins, which makes me really upset. I'm going to see if I can change that somehow... I'll bring it up at our next MAD club meeting.
I performed my third act of good today, when I was in the airport back home in the second flight, and during the whole flight, I did extra math homework. :) I ended up actually completing two days worth of homework and I just finished the second assignment within a minute of touching down, because my mom had challenged me to see if I could get it done, and I did! Yay! Over the whole course of this weekend, I've completed all of my math homework for the rest of the week, so my next assignment will be due Monday- and I think I deserve some sort of prize for doing that, so I thought: "What's better than an act of good?"
So, I'm back home, and I hope to update you soon on all of the other amazing things I did this long weekend. Talk to you later!

Act of Good #51
Though I probably would have done these things anyway without this act of good program, but I want to award myself for helping out others and myself today. I did a few extra chores around the house, and I did extra math homework, which benefits myself. :)
I'm going to Boston this weekend, so I might not be able to post very much from tomorrow until next Monday. Tomorrow, we don't have school because our teachers are finishing our grades and comments- it's the end of Winter Term already!- and on Monday, we don't have school, either, because it's President's Day! So my family is taking advantage of the weekend and going to Boston to visit my brother at college. I'm really excited! :D
