Waiting for that call and relaxing

Yay! I've managed to catch up on my blog! Now I've updated up to the point where I can start being more detailed about my day-to-day activities.

So today is Monday (May 4) and I went to the job agency in the morning. The guy from the Wiluna pub never called back and the agency doesn't think he'll get anyone for the amount of time he requested. I'm relieved because I didn't want to go there. All I can do now is wait for another vacancy to pop up -- which can be today or tomorrow or the day after. The agency will let me know when they get a call. Hopefully, it will be before I have to decide whether to extend my hostel stay by a week or not (you get special prices by the week).

I'm so happy that I've found a way to feed myself frugally. Last night, I bought an avocado, fresh bread bun and a tomato for only $2! Using those items, I made a sandwich with the can of tuna I've been lugging around for months. I like to eat sandwiches for supper at the hostel instead of cooking (the hostel kitchens get sooo crowded). Plus, I don't have to clean as much. I don't like crowded areas. Other times, I will eat out. I've found a place that sells sushi rolls for $2 each in the evenings and an asian place that sells chicken and rice or noodles or whatever else combos for only $4 at good-sized portions. And not to forget the 50 cent soft serve ice cream cones at McD's. This is also a good way for me to eat less and lose the weight I've gained in Hong Kong!

I'm going to spend the rest of my day lying on the grass by the Swan River reading a book. The weather is spectacular today, as always! :)
