Today in my uni gap I went up to Randwick - as I've done every week for about six - and got some food for lunch. I didn't have much money so I wandered into Coles hoping I'd find something bargain-liked. And boy oh boy, did I ever. I found big packets of chilli Kettle chips for $2.50. And I was going to buy a Ribena popper for 80c, but at the last minute I found some "Brekky Juice". It was a whole litre (as opposed to 250ml of Ribena popper) and it was only $1.48. Such a bargain. It had all different fruits in it, but what really sucked me in was the vitamin C and folate content. Wow. One bottle had 1000% of one's recommended daily intake of vitamin C. And all of your daily folate requirements. And it was yummy as all get out to boot.
That had kind of already made my day, so I was pretty happy as I left the supermarket. But then, as I walked outside, I got this really strong whiff of South American market, which made me go all nostalgic and even happier. And then a good Bob Dylan cover song started on my MP3 player. All these happy things, converged at the one time on this humble little shopping mall in Randwick. If I believed in an interventionist God, then I'd reckon he was silly buggers with me right then.
On the train on the way home a girl I recognised got on and came and sat down across the aisle. I wasn't sure where I'd seen her, but she looked at me funny, and smiled sort of. I smiled sort of back. Then I got out my accounting text book and started reading. I couldn't work out where she was from. Then she got out her accounting text book and started reading. I laughed at us quietly to myself.

No. It was a different girl. And I’m pretty sure she wasn’t looking at me Like That. Besides, she’s an accounting student, and that’s just way too daggy.
