Have I Really Only Been Here a Day?

It feels like longer. I seem to have packed a lot in today.

I activated my bank account, and realised I am running on my small amount of cash until my international bank transfer clears and I have money on my Australian debit card.
I visited optus because my 3g data wasn't working and they changed  some settings for me. Then I dropped more CVs around the city, got a Lord of the Fries chick'n burger (I liked their fries much more than the burger, but I will give the other options a go), then walked to South Bank. I dropped CVs there but not many seemed to be hiring.

I spoke to people today, charity and promotions people who I would usually blow off and walk straight past. First a guy doing charity sign ups. Since I said I was looking for a job he didn't bother trying to get me interested in that, he just said his Melbourne job hunting tip is make sure you try the side streets. Then a girl doing charity sign ups who also didn't try to sign me up, but turned out to be from Tunbridge Wells.

This evening I decided to go to a free fitness class I had seen advertised and it was great. As well as the fact getting a workout was awesome I got to chat with people. On the way back from that I stopped at a supermarket then stopped and chatted with a guy promoting a new gym. He gave me a free bottle of water.

I did extremely well on my low budget for the next couple of days for dinner and bought a bottle of soda water, can of lentils, and jar of pasta sauce, all for $3.60. So lentil pasta for dinner (I bought pasta yesterday) cost under $2 for a large serving.

Now I am going to read until I fall asleep. :)
