Yesterday, I was in the right place at the right time. And also, I'm a nice person.
There is a new classroom going in upstairs (I don't know how this works - probably just converting/refurbishing a room), which needed new furniture. So when I was on my class break, I just happened to go down the stairwell in which they were bringing stuff upstairs (on my way to the vending machine, see). And I held the door open for some of the guys struggling with a huge flimsy box full of desk parts. And then another box of desk parts fell apart, and I carried a piece of it upstairs (a little piece - there were enough other people around helping that that's all there was left!).
But this morning one of the secretaries made little bags of candy to thank everyone who helped! Score!
*noms candy corn, will save other bits for later*
Ironically, yesterday in the class I was on break from, we were discussing Marcel Mauss's The Gift...
