Hello and Happy Sunday....

So the weekend has come to an end and I'm just chilling right now in the lobby on this nice Sunday Evening.

I've come to the conclusion that if I am an ADHD case (which I'm sure I am), then Sydney increased it by around 1 thousand and 89 times. My plans for where I'm staying/working has completely changed and more then likely will change again by the time I close my eyes and go to sleep tonight. On Sunday I went with Rebecca to Newtown/Gleebe. It's this awesome part of the city a 20-30 minute walk from downtown (where I am right now). It's amazing there, Gleebe is a really nice community and New Town is a funky part of the city (Pictures soon to come-the ones I have now suck)...Anyways I have fallen in love with this part of the city, and figure it will probably be not too hard to find work out there....Finding a flat is a pain in the ass though. I've checked out one place and that may work out. Tomorrow night I'm going to check out another flat and I will see how that goes. It's so overwhelming when your looking for a place/job @ the same time. (This is what I mean when I was saying the ADD thing) Like too much selection in a store. Like how if you just need a pair of Flip Flops (They call them thongs here, which I can't seem to get used to) It would be easier if I had 5 to choose from. But if it were a store with hundreds then I would stand there feeling like a retard more then likely all confused-like. Staring at all these 'Thongs' and spending way more time then I should analyzing the different textures colours of these wonderful practical sandals. Life would be so simple if it were just a matter of picking out a colour and all the 'thongs were the same' uhh too much selection is a pretty and not to pretty looking thing...

How I feel about '"Thongs" (Flip Flops -Canadia Stylez)

I never really was a flip flop sorta girl but I think I have converted (they are so practical for this city). They are light in my bag, and go with most things. I absolutely despise shoe shopping, to the point that it could make me puke. I spend way too much time shopping when I do need shoes. Sometimes weeks even.....I feel like the salad fingers of the shoe world. This is why thongs make me feel a little more @ ease. Great for the beach, great with skirts, your feet don't get all nasty and hot in the Oz sunshine...Pure Bliss!!!.....My feet need to be worked in though (sweet little innocent things they are). I have a few little cuts from so much walking (Bandages are my best friend right now). Bla bla bla.......Anyways moving right along

See what I mean about the ADHD

Anyways I figure as long as I have one of those in place (job/apartment) then the rest is not so scattered in my mind. Anyways that's enough about that, I figure as long as I keep calling people/working on it something will work out (Just like Plinko)!! (I can't say the Plinko analogy anymore here because nobody knows what it is) Apparently there is the Aussie version of the price is right....I've only watched Australian TV once. I find the commercials the best part of it. The shows for the most part are the samish. They have a lot of reality shows that are the same as Canada but just with accents. Idol/etc.

Anyways

It's been about a week since I've been here and my week of mayhem will be coming to an end as of tomorrow. To be honest I'm happy tomorrow is Monday and that I can go to the IEP office and be focused looking for a flat/work. I figure since I'm only going to be in the city for two month(ish) I better start looking asap because nobody is going to want to hire me for less then that. I want to get a job that will feed me...I've been thinking that's a good idea. Perhaps a juice bar/cafe or something. Food is so expensive here compared to Canada. I compulsively go grocery shopping and I still feel like I spend so much money. I am so happy/stoked that I can still make my magic oatmeal/salads/omelette's in the kitchens at the hostels. I kind of eat a lot healthier in ways now.....(well sorta).....Because vegetables are a lot more money I find I don't really eat those 'North American' portion sizes anymore. It's more like the way the food guide is. You know! a deck of cards/half of stuff so that you can stretch it out. Otherwise I'd spend a million dollars a week. Eating out is something I really try to avoid. I have always enjoyed making my own food, I like knowing what is in it. Also if I eat out all the time it's sooo much cash. Sushi is the thing I pick up everynow and again because it's real cheap here. Usually around 1.50-2.00 a roll...and it's not greasy crap that will make me feel like garbage...Go team protien.

Hmmm what else...?

Today I was walking through the park and I was wishing that I had some bread to feed the ducks. Feeding the ducks always makes me happy, there are really beautiful swans in the pond too....I will probably do that tomorrow on my way to my flat interview/looking for jobs mission.

Anyways that is my little update on life in Sydney.
Happy Sunday
