Today has already been pretty exciting. I went to class this morning, had a coffee with me (I bring my own in the morning). Later when we ahd a break at about 10am, I went to Tims on campus to get another one. I realized I had no money and went to the abm to take some out. Well there is a $1.50 charge to use the one at school, and I like even $20's in my account, all I had was $20, so I couldn't take any money out. I seen a guy, I completely forget his name, but i know him from a couple of classes and the current class I'm taking. I was rummaging through my purse and asked him if Tims takes debit....he said no, and handed me a toonie for coffee!! How nice is that!? I'm going to give him $3 on Monday when classes resume. Nothing in this world is free and random acts of kindness deserve to be rewarded. :) I was walking home from school after class ended and I said to myself, "Krista, where is your purse?". I had forgotten my purse hanging on the back of the door in the bathroom at school. I ran, like a bat out of hell, back to school, ran into the bathroom and couldn't find my purse! Another lady was there, and she asked me what I was looking for, I told her my purse.She said "oh, I've lost 2!". That is not something you say to someone that is panicked baout loosing their purse and all of their I.D. She asked me what class I had been in, I ran into the class, and looked in the isle I had been sitting, it wasn't there! I went back into the hall, we seen some guy and he asked us what was going on, I told him I had lost my purse. I was ocmpletely out of breath from having run there. I went back into the bathroom to check again.It wasn't there, I left, and the guy had just come out of the classroom holding my purse!! He said "is this it?", I ran over and hugged him, he laughed at me, I thanked him and asked him his name, he said "Ron", I hugged him again and said "thank you Ron, you saved me alot of time, energy and money." What a day. I had gotten a new purse, at the Giant Tiger. (Sue also got the same one) It is a shoulder purse, and I've done really well not leaving it anywhere, but I had remembered hanging it up in the bathroom because I had left to go to the bathroom during class, AND after class.I had hung it up the first time, but left it in the room the second time. What a relief it was to see him come out holding my purse. I only have 14 full days of school left, not including weekends. It's a beautiful day in Fredericton today, Sam and i are going to have a BBQ tonight. Anyway I'm going to go make something to eat....write later....

I'm glad that you didn't actually lose your purse. That is a scary feeling!
