Nostalgy

While preparing to go to uni for an exam this morning, I forgot that during uni breaks (i.e. now), the buses go past our stop quite a bit earlier than its usual specified time and therefore, I missed my bus and which meant I would potentially have been late for my exam.

When the next bus came along, I hopped on and was the first one on the bus. The bus driver asked me if I was trying to make a 9am class in uni and I said no actually it's an exam. He told me that with the morning peak traffic, it'd probably go past 9. I tried not to look too worried but he could see right through me and tried to comfort me on the way. Eventually, the bus arrived at uni at 8.55am and when I said my thanks to him, he said good luck for the test. That really made me feel a lot better about the exam.

And although it's unlikely to be an A exam, it is the best and longest law exam I've done (five legal analysis essays as opposed to the usual four) and the first law exam I've actually completed in time. So yes, I'm satisfied.

This just goes to show how much a simple show of kindness from a stranger can help to make one person so much happier.
