Guess I have some editing to do!
聊斋志异 by request! But… some different stories.
Workout in! Only a 4.52km run AFTER my workout. Did get 110 pull ups done, 220 push ups, 330 squats, but all were unweighted. Took about 30 minutes to do.
Just wasn’t feeling it but mainly because I hadn’t slept well. Was working on yesterday’s episode in the morning, the freelance course, then had to finish editing my Tiananmen video (finally published).
Mid-term writing exam done, next week is listening and reading. End of next month will be descriptive essay. Then, speaking component.
How was the freelance course? Only two days, gets me thinking about some of the things I can do and about REPUTATION. Interesting situation.
And bought an English vocabulary book to study… Chinese?
