A guest was leaving the classroom and wanted my e-mail so that we could keep in touch. No matter how many times I wrote it down on the sheet of paper, I seemed to keep getting the address wrong. Furthermore my handwriting was near unreadable as my “e"s kept curling into themselves. In the end I resorted to writing down a webpage that I had made sometime in high school in place for my contact information.

I walked up to someone who was working at his desk when he pulled out the drawers from under his table. They were all filled with bundles of pencils and I asked him where he had obtained them. I suspected that he may have stolen them but I considered buying the pencils from him anyways since I had been looking for them for years. I showed him a bunch of stubs of the same kind of pencil to him to show how much I appreciated them.

Our group had split into two to watch some kind of history performance in a park. After the show, I had intended to thank the person who bought the ticket for me and ask for the remaining ticket stub. However I lost them as we started walking uphill through the shops. I ran ahead of the group to get to a restroom as I was afraid of losing everyone when I got back out.
