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 #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!
