i fail at blogging.
i'm too lazy to blog D:
but i shall try to blog regularly again haha

TaLK orientation:
it's been really fun getting to meet other TaLK scholars :)
most of the lectures were interesting;
some were very useful&fun;
and couple were just too boring..

i will definitely check out the sites for teaching resources within couple weeks
& i'm more excited to be teaching :D

to see NANTA perf & shop around myeongdong :D
