Going home

Getting back from Crookwell wasn’t as easy as I would have hoped. Everything seemed to be going well. Dion drove me to the bus stop in Goulburn, the bus came and we watched “What women wants”, the bus even got to Central before time!
I walked up to the train station and said I’m going to Macquarie University. I felt so relieved that the train between Epping - Chatswood - Epping had opened only a week earlier! Which means that I can take the train all the way from Central to Macquarie University, where I live, instead of going to Chatswood or Epping and then taking the bus from there to my flat.
I purchased my ticket from a woman behind the ticket canter who told me it was cheapest to go through Chatswood and the train from Chatswood to Epping is free! Yay, free!
Oblivious I took the train to Chatswood. But when I arrived there, what happens? Yes, the new train to Epping doesn’t go! Why didn’t the ticket woman tell me that??? Thanks a lot!
I’d never actually been in Chatswood at this time, so I had to look for the buses. As it turns out, do you know, there are NO busses from Chatswood to Macquarie at this time!! I know that there are busses from Epping AND Epping is closer. Angry I went and took a taxi, that cost me 20 bucks!!

I’m never going through Chatswood again!
