Well well well, today has certainly been an interesting day my fellow classmates. I thought maybe I would collect my small positive involuntary responses and then post them at the end of the week, and I think maybe I’ll still do that, for I’m feeling particularly positive right now. BUT, an event of epic proportions (in my life at the moment) has occurred. Ok maybe I may be exaggerating a little but hey, who doesn’t make a sad face when they lose their wallet? You’ve got everything in there; so that means you have everything to replace and/or pay fines to replace (SAIC, I HEART YOU). But today I thought I had lost my wallet in the MCC building and had almost accepted the fact that it was gone forever. Another wallet I’ll have to replace (yes, I’ve had one stolen out of my backpack before). So I retraced my steps with the help of others and asked around. (thank you by the way). Finally I came to the 12^th floor café and asked if anyone had turned in a wallet.

Do you know how much of weight had lifted off of my shoulders when the friendly barista said yes? As my eyes began to water a slight amount and my fingers clinched my wallet tightly I realized that that involuntary response of jubilation wasn’t just from the fact that I had found my wallet but from the fact that SOMEONE, somewhere out there turned it in. It was like the world telling me that hell yesss there are good people out there. And even though something like turning in a wallet may seem like a small sense of duty, it’s a grand gesture to me.

So I just want to say THANK YOU to that person. Where ever you are.

Sincerely,

Rachel
