Last semester in one of my classes, we had made our own envelopes to use as a carrier for a resource we had been making and once I was finished with using this envelope for that particular purpose, I then put the envelope on my door as a "letterbox". This envelope was not pink as the title of this blog would suggest but was made of white paper with green highlighter and ink messages all over it.
I was thinking over my semester break that since it was a new semester coming up, then it was time for a change - a major change....and then I got the results of some of my papers! Well I had passed all of them AMAZINGLY but that is another story for another time. Anyway, yes time for a change meant that it was also time to change my letterbox.
During my semester break, I ended up leading at a Teen's Camp at Totara Springs in Matamata and we had what we call "Warm Fuzzies" going throughout the weekend - each person writes a nice positive note to someone else and puts it in their "mailbox" and then we got to read them at the end of the weekend.
After teens camp, I ended up using my letterbox as my new letterbox for my door at my hostel! its great and although it has taken a big of adjusting (just like the new semester itself has), I am happy!
The main reason for this blog entry.....
This week in general has just seemed like a massively long week. Yesterday when I got home from uni around 5ish, I was not the most happiest of chappies and was just soooooooooooooooo tired. I got home and as I always do, I went and checked my mailbox before I came into my bedroom. I had a present - AN EMPTY CAN OF COKE! Usually something like this, I would have been slightly annoyed about but for some reason I was the complete opposite and just laughed so hard, it was fantastic.
Today was yet another long day at uni and when I got home tonight, I had another surprise in "Kath's Pink Letterbox"! Today's surprise was to do with a personal joke at our hostel and today with Kayaks and Kath! Today when I cleared my lovely pink mailbox, I had 12 Kayaks in there :) Once again I was so tired and exhausted that this just instantly made me laugh and I realised how lucky I am to have such incredible and awesome friends.
I look forward to the continued graffiti that my pink mailbox will receive - it cracks me up so much and I also look forward to the surprises when I return from my daily adventures!
If you don't have a Pink Mailbox (or any coloured Mailbox for that matter), then I suggest you get one... you will never know the fantastic benefits untill you have one :)
