New Year, New Habits

Shortly after the new year celebrations, we began our mid-semester exams. We have many small quizzes, speaking tests and exams during this programme.

One…Continue Reading New Year, New Habits

The first week, first impressions (and my first proper snow!)

As I write this, I’ve been in South Korea for almost two weeks!
