Episode Details

What a nap! This is in strict contrast to one of my students who left class saying she was going to the bar in Sanlitun. She invited me but I declined the offer.

We got snow! And it’s cold!

Debates are over! Did it wrong since I booked resubmits on Friday afternoon and they all showed up! Sneaky cell phone usage!

Getting essays done, this is the last weekend!

iTalki closes applications aaaaand… I forgot to press submit! What about Preply, Verbling or other online platforms?

And what about those workouts, how are they going? They’re NOT!
