Hit n Run Day

The nth time I get hit today, yes by hit I really mean hit.....not sure why though? My day started by waking up in the morning and be done without procrastinating my daily chores like a good gurrl.... However, I could not reach the Uni for the assignments at a scheduled time due to some important phone calls. Now, I get to hear my favorite ring tone as many times as my phone rings. So I let it ring before I actually receive my calls..... Honestly, I do that.....Cute one it is for sure. Yes, I take shower and leave home with an expectation of a day full of assignments. Ufff..... Not that I do them at the earliest but just that they get done well under pressure, just prior to the deadline. I step out and realise how hot it is....Oh my gosh! Why did I wear shoes? Na.... I don't have the time to change them now..... I take the tram and the train half way and reach the city. I get into the Uni, meet my friend who had just returned from India, give him some compliments on his changed looks ;) and then realise that I finally have to look what my assignments are. I meet my friend and we head towards the lab. Oh yes, before I reach the Uni, I was walking fast enough (fast enough) to get my way through the walkways in the crowd in the city. I get hit by people a couple of times, I turn back and look but the person has hit and ran already!! Not that I expected a sorry here..... But I was simply wondering as though why? You can get hit accidentally once, a couple of times, definitely not more than that....We look at the assignment in the lab and very superficially outline what has to be done. We sit for a couple of hours, concentrate enough to jump start the assignment. As we walk out, some more friends working on the assignment. We decide that we had completed enough for the day and head out. As we walk, we find our friends asking us to wait for lunch. Deciding on a place to eat, we reach Spicy Noodles, one of the good Thai restaurants that offer sumptuous noodles and chilly fried rice for a decent amount of dollars. I knew I wasn't eating anything but grapes. They had good water melon juice and fresh mango juice. My friend got me one. Our day's quota for the assignments had reached to the brim and there was an hour left for the lecture to begin. The weather improved by degrees on the cooler side, clouds paving way for rain to pour and favonian cool breeze changed the whole city. We await the rain happily. M not going to the lab now. I will only attend the lecture and the tutes and the labs. So we plan on taking a stroll in the city. We walk and walk. I get hit by people randomly. I can call it as though there was a random generator of people having expertise of hitting a specific target! I am standing out of a nice jewellery showroom and looking at some pierre cardin watches, longing to have one of them now. Will buy it one day soon, I convince myself. I get hit by a lady, I swear I wasn't in her way at all. What was my fault? I go and attend the class, thankfully, there is a protocol in class that everyone has to sit and listen to the lecture. No one stands except for the lecturer, or else I would have been dead there!! I go to my tutes, labs and on my way home, I get hit again!! Heights!! All I wanted now is go home without being forced to any more physical external forces trying to show their thrust!! My friend then tells about this hit and run policy that was applied to me free of charge by random people with no hidden costs either!! Everyone laughs and laughs and I laugh with them too apart from being annoyed. I reach home and get lost in chores...... I am happy as I know for sure there aren't people coming and dashing into me by any chance. Each day is an own adventure in itself these days in life. I wish I could write some unique incidents that happen if not all of them. Well, its better than having a monotonous life of working and studying but definitely not being a victim of the free of charge hit technique!! I suppose I can call it the hit and run day of the Melbournian phase of my life!!
