Farmer's market and uni

I went to the farmer's market yesterday in the hope that the Door County cherries would be ripe. I missed most of them last year because they ripened later in the summer so it was nice to find them being sold. I bought two big bags then realized I wouldn't be able to eat them all before they went bad so I made a cherry vanilla shake and a cherry-rum limeade to go with dinner. I also picked up some cheap cherry tomatoes and sugar snap peas. I'm trying to eat my way through my cupboards/fridge atm so I ended up having them together with home made inari sushi and rice balls filled with seaweed and egg furikake. My father is coming on Weds to stay for awhile before he takes my car (since I can't leave it sitting out for 10 months) and goes to visit my elder brothers and families who live in Kentucky and Missouri. I plan on dragging him to the farmer's market where we will buy even more cherries. Mwahaha!

Today, I lazed about in the morning before heading into the city to hit the library. I had a huge bag of books with me which needed scanning before I leave since I can't afford to lug them with me to Korea. I can request English language book chapters be scanned in online, but they only find my Korean and Japanese books about half of the time and since I own them anyway, it's easier to scan them in myself. I got to the one computer attached to the biggest scanner in the library (since some of my books are very oversized) and there was already someone there. Since there was a computer free next to her, I asked her if she could let me use the one attached to the scanner. She turns to me and asks, 'Are you a student?' I refrain from pointing out that you need a student (or at least a university) id card to get into the library and say I'm a grad student. She points out there are scanners downstairs. I point out that they're tiny and pull out one of my huge coffee table sized books (Korean archaeological institutes don't dick around when it comes to book size). She finally agrees to move. I spend the next three hours scanning in books (and occasionally wondering why the woman who moved spent the entire time googling obscure tv stars and musicians), and I sadly still have several more books to go, but I left around dinner time because enough is enough. Came home and made real mac and cheese with broccoli to try to use up my pasta, frozen broccoli and bread crumbs. Ate while watching Mr. and Mrs. Smith, devoured more cherries, did some knitting and now I'm reading. I'm trying to finish off the Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic series before I leave. I have just one book left to go which needs to be finished before my dad gets here. I should make it. I'm meeting friends for the next few days to say farewell. Once Dad gets here (bringing my second suitcase with him), I'll be packing up a storm. So it goes.
