Improve my Karma.

I love the idea of karma – it stops me from being a nasty person, and I think I’m being rewarded for this with the good things that are happening in my life: I got a job on a US summercamp, I’m being flown back from Boston, to the UK for a day’s filming on TV, I got a good mark in my uni course, I hopefully will get my visa..fingers crossed. I think things are going good because last week there was a festival on the Vale, where halls are located for Birmingham Uni – I volunteered for two shifts (5 and a half hours stewarding in the sunshine), then the next day I went and litter picked, with me and two other guys clearing the whole site (literally). It was actually really rewarding. A lot of people scoff at the idea of karma – I believe. And it would be cool if other people did too!

I’m enjoying this one! It’s a nice feeling anyway, and if you do imagine the good things that happen to you are because of you being nice it feels so much better – like you’ve earned it rather than been lucky.
Doing people’s washing-up late at night so they wake up to clean stuff to eat off is always good. Last week I saw a teacher from my old school (I think he taught me for maybe 5 weeks) at a busstop, at like 9pm. So i was nice and gave him a lift into town, which meant he could catch his earlier train. It wasn’t too far out of my way, and it gave me a nice feeling. Payback I think (maybe 50%’s worth) for the incredible lady who helped me catch my train to Grenoble by dragging me through the Paris Metro, on subway trains and station concourses, not even telling me her name; at Paris Gare Du Lyon she slipped into the darkness of the tunnel and I sped off. Life really is sweet sometimes.
