Description

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!
