kind and generous

I've been thinking a lot about the beauty/kindness project and I think I have figured out what I'm going to do as long as i can get enough pennies to make it look good...I'll explain. I plan on getting a lot of pennies and making something(simple, perhaps a heart or a horseshoe or a clover) out of them on a popular sidewalk on campus and having them all be heads up(aka "lucky") and write something in chalk below it (along the lines of "pay it forward" "share the wealth" or "find a penny pick it up all day long you'll have good luck"and...
see
what
happens.
My plan is to do it (really freaking early) wednesday for a few reasons, them being wednesday's "hump day" and to top it all off its midterms, and it happens to be the day that i have the least amount of class where i can actually stick around and see what happens.
i have many other ideas too but this one's probably my favorite
WHAT I ENDED UP DOING:
Ok dokey I now realize that this is not a big project and its supposed to be done ASAP so instead of my previous idea I went a lot less extravagant(not that the first idea was extravagant) and instead I did a little facebook confessing, my old friend from elementary school Scott posted one of those respond to my status and say a memory you have of me" kind of things. I normally don't respond to those things but I did this time. Scott used to have a huge crush on me in 6th grade but I was "going out" with Gavin so he was always in the friends zone but he still made me oragami animals and hearts and boxes all the time. The below is the beginning of the facebook message convo. we had. It was kind of weird messaging him after ~7 years of no talking but I'm glad I did it. I took screen pictures of the first few messages, but I didn't include our names for privacy.

Scott:
Me:
(p.s. i do hope to use my other idea at some other point in the quarter though.)

Until then...my gift to the world is this wonderful, wonderful masterpiece. enjoy :)
