Welcome and thanks for listening today. Sorry it took me an extra day to get the show out. I've been busy since being back in Korea so I didn't have enough time to do the show. I'll update this post with my usual list of topics and vocabulary later this week.

That also means that the script isn't ready, so please be patient and I'll get the script out asap. Thanks for your understanding.

*Updated:

Topics Discussed:

  • My last week in Vancouver

Vocabulary:

  • Attend
  • Disappointed
  • Judgment
  • Expectation
  • Attitude
  • Hectic
Quote of the Week:
Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.

Thanks again and see you next week. Let me know if you have any questions.
