Today I looked up my schedule for next week. I have Tuesday and Wednesday off. It is cool that they schedule our days off next to each other. I had three days off this week, but I think that is because I had that 11 hour shift- whereas the next few weeks seem to be 6 and 8 hour lots.
This morning I got the bus to the Post Office. Very different from the Post Offices back home, but the lady who served me was very helpful. Prices had gone up slightly since when I went with Todd- but not by too much. It took me about 10 minutes to sort out everything inside. I headed back out to wait for the bus. The bus only comes every hour so I had around 50 minutes to wait.

While sitting there waiting there were all sorts of bugs and things about. I cannot believe how many lizards/newt type things there are here. They give me the creeps- especially their beady little eyes which watch you. And they are everywhere. They always scurry across the path in front of me when I am walking to and from the bus and you always hear them in the bushes.
Once we were picked up from the post office and brought back to Vista I walked down the road (about 5-10 mins) to a place called Dollar Tree. Everything in here is $1 or cheaper. I picked up a few bits and pieces, they sell a massive variety of things: food, stationary, toys, utensils, souvenirs, party supplies etc.
Next door I went in to see the valentines day donuts they are selling in Dunkin Donuts. So sweet. They really go all out for holidays here as you probably all know.

I had a relaxing afternoon. I did my washing and watched How I Met Your Mother.
This evening Stacey, Missy, SIv and I decided to go out for dinner. We walked down to an area called Crossroads which is just outside Disney property. There were heaps of places to choose to eat, but we ended up at Taco Bell. It wasn't my favourite- but another American experience to add to the list. The food didn't taste bad, I think I just ate too much- even though I couldn't finish my meal.

We had spotted another normal looking supermarket on our walk (rather than Walmart) so decided to take a gander after dinner. I only picked up a few things: GF rice chex cereal, some dried pineapple, papaya, and mango pieces, and an air-freshener for our lounge as it has an odd odour to it.
We made the 20-30 minute walk back and met up with some of the other ICPs (International College Programmers) outside the building next door. After a bit of a chat some of us came back to our apartment to hang out. Some of the boys from downstairs came up too. They had come over to introduce themselves on the first day we arrived- but I hadn't seen them since. They were called Myles, Dan and Austen.
I am back at work tomorrow after my two days off. The park is closing early a lot of nights this week as it is not a busy season. Tomorrow I only work for 6 hours (2.45-8.45) and I won't be home at too unusual an hour which will be well lush.
