Things I Don't Remember: Lost My Keys, Landfill

Today was my first day of desk-warming, which I will be doing for three weeks now. I have to say, it was remarkably easy to waste six hours. I have nothing to show for it, but I wasn't bored. I didn't accomplish anything. Maybe tomorrow I should begin planning some lessons?
Today I also lost my house keys. I only realized this after lunch; they had presumably fallen out of my coat pocket somewhere between my apartment, the bus, and school. I was in a rush this morning, so they could really be anywhere I guess. I'm still kind of in disbelief about it. Not cool. I tried to talk to Ellen about it, and she seemed to think it was no big deal whatsoever, thinking she had a spare set somewhere in her apartment. We went to her place, and she found the key. However, when we made a copy of it, the copy didn't work. Tomorrow I'll have to make another!

This past weekend was really wonderful!! Friday night, Eve hosted dessert night at her apartment. We all made various desserts, brought them, and ate them. A simple concept beautifully executed. We stuffed our faces with funfetti cake, blueberry cobbler, a delicious tiramisu like creation, blueberry roll, brownies, ice cream, and chocolate rice krispie treats, washing it all down with plenty of ice cold milk. Yum, it was the best!

desserts!

Saturday my friend Caroline and I headed to the coast, to a city called Tongyeong, which is about an hour away. The weather was perfect for walking along the sea, and even though at first we had no idea where we were (actually lost in a landfill on the complete outskirts of the city!) we eventually made our way into Tongyeong proper and had a lovely time.

We spent the afternoon walking right next to the ocean, all over the city, to an outdoor sculpture park, a traditional fish market, a folk history museum, and even a grafiti exhibition. We found a store that sold imported Asian products, and we each picked up heaps of Thai and Indonesian sauces and spices.
