Skyrocketing Covid Cases In Korea, the number of covid cases is skyrocketing. The number of new cases is now over 100,000! This should be alarming, but I think a lot of people don’t care about covid anymore. It seems that people accept that the omicron variant is not that deadly and it is time to … Read More
Sweet Thieves Earlier this year a truck full of Ferrero Rocher chocolates was stolen in Canada. The thieves stole approximately $363,000 CAD worth of chocolate. In the article by CTV News, they joke that the thieves must have a sweet tooth. I have a sweet tooth as well. I recently made a Valentine’s Day themed … Read More
A Conversation about Death I was having a conversation with a co-worker about euphemisms for death. Don’t ask me how we got on that subject because I can’t remember. I added, “He bought the farm” to the list. She asked me why we say that I had no idea. If you read these posts, you’ll … Read More
Oh, My desk! I was shocked to see my desk covered in straws when I came in to work today. It seems as though I was pranked. To be fair, I pranked a coworker earlier in the week by surrounding his desk in pylons. While I was out teaching a special lecture, the office got … Read More

That means we need to submit our resume, make a sample teaching video, and go through the interview process each year. It is certainly … Read More
Debate Bro I love watching debates. One of the best YouTube channels for watching debates is called Modern Day Debates. Today they hosted a debate between Gavin McInnes and Destiny that was a lot of fun to watch. I don’t think I learned a lot from the debate but it is easily one of the … Read More
Hello. Long time, no see. I haven’t posted an English phrase of the day in a while. I really don’t have a good excuse. I just didn’t feel like it. But, I guess that is the luxury of doing something as a hobby, you never feel obligated to do it. I wasn’t even that busy … Read More
Barking at Ping Pong Players Yesterday I talked about trash talking and how much I love participating in it. As a follow up, people are now leaving straws on each other’s desks (see previous post).
