Kind Words, and a Little Humor go a Long Way

So I meet up with Theresa today to work on our presentation for our Spanish class, and we made ourselves a new friend. It was some random guy, who was sitting across from me, who decided to come over and apologize for the sophomoric way his friends were acting. Of course, Theresa and I told him not to apologize, because we actually found it rather entertaining. It was a brief encounter, but he was a very nice, and friendly person who was amused by that fact that he and his friends were amusing us. Theresa and I both agree that that was the nicest anyone has been to either of us thus far on campus. Which is, in a way, really sad. It has managed to make my day though. Considering my current roommate issues, it was nice to have a complete stranger start up a conversation, be totally nice and respectful, and make me smile and laugh. Little weird incidents like that convince me that there is a God. I got what I was desperately needing (some kindness and appreciation), right when I needed it most. I think I just received the strength I need, to make it through another 12 days on campus.
