Cheesehead Vet Student in OZ: Did we really just get a ride from a Storm Trooper??

So Brian and I heard about a really good deal on TV's at JB hi-fi. We found a store within a 40 min walk so we said HEY no big deal we will go check it out. We get all the way there to realize there was two TVs on sale a 23" for $199 with a built in DVD player or a 32" for $199 with a USB port so we can watch our shows from my portable harddrive through the TV. We originally went to check out the smaller TV but the bigger one was a non-advertised sale. Also if we got the smaller TV all of our US DVDs couldn't work. We would still have to get a region free dvd player in the future. SO we got a HUGE AMAZING quality TV for SUPER SUPER CHEAP!!! You couldn't even find this good of deal on gumtree (like US craigslist). ALSO fun fact: Australia still uses BUNNY EAR ANTENNAS!! :) they are just getting ready to switch over to digital TV! how awesome!!! Anyway back to story. SO we got this HUGE TV and a 40min walk home.. WE prepared for the hike and we took turns carrying the backpack that was full of water bottles and we each carried a handle of the TV box. We got about half way home and stopped for some water when an Antenna specialist van pulls into the driveway in front of us and says he will give us a ride home! We were very skeptical but he was a genuinely good person. On Bruce's dashboard was a bobble-head storm trooper and we told him it was awesome. His reply was "I am an official storm trooper". We giggled and he said no I have a costume and everything and do events.. We kind of looked at him funny and he continued to explain how it was for charity! :) So this Storm trooper took us all the way back to the uni village and at the end of our journey he supplied us with a better antenna lead and a couple different attachments if ever want to use the same cable for when they switch to digital. He purely gave us a ride and supplied us with a $20 cable as a kind act. I would have NEVER seen this kindness and generosity in most parts of the states. Bruce wouldn't take any money even if we had much to offer and it was one of the funniest encounters I've ever experienced in my life.

The rest of the night all Brian and I could do was look at each other and say: "did we really just get a ride from a Storm Trooper?" I hope to keep the good karma going and can't wait for the opportunity to help someone else in need! :)

What a great saturday experience after not feeling well and a horrible exam experience. Brian and I have had a cleaning sunday instead of going on the Swan Valley Tour (a tour of the river and drinks and food at every stop along the river and entertainment) because we sold our tickets before I felt better. My pre-lab quiz for biochemistry is done and now its on to biochem learning objectives (given to us before each lecture of concepts we need to know for exam) for the rest of the night until FaceTime with the family at 9pm! My grandparents are in my parents hometown for the weekend and I can't wait to see their faces! :)

Thanks for all the comments and support regarding my exam. I will keep my head up! :)
