the sweetest thing
This is going to be a "what did I do to deserve this post".But it's not going to be whiny. You'll see why.Today I woke up grouchy & unwilling to leave the comforts of my extremely comfortable bed (like every morning) - you can understand because I have 4 pillows & 2 quilts/as they call it here, doonas. But I had to because I had lectures that I couldn't afford to miss because the lecturer refuses to put the lectures online *argh*. Anyways, I couldn't think of a better excuse than "I'm lazy" so I dragged my butt off to uni unwillingly. I usually sit with my friend & hostelmate, Flora during this lecture. Flora and I have been classmates and hostelmates (she lives round the corner from me) for a few years now but all we've mostly talked about is work = uni = law. Flora is the most down-to-earth, hilariously funny without meaning to be, sweetest, most hardworking, cutest person that I have met to date. She is unbelievably kind hearted & possesses absolutely child-like qualities.It all seemed like just another Thursday when she suddenly turned to me mid-way (during our 5 minute break), dropped a package into my lap & exclaimed, "Oh! I forgot to pass you this! I brought you breakfast!" I looked inside & saw a huge ass chocolate chip berry muffin staring at me - it was still warm so the aroma wafted into my nose - I was absolutely lost for words because I was so touched.So yes, what did I deserve to have her as a friend? She is such a darling. I shall pay it forward.
