What music did I listen to this week?:

I have been listening to k-pop lately. One group that I like, Pentagon, released a song titled "Humph". It's an upbeat and catchy song. I am also streaming a lot of Stray Kids. I got a ticket to their concert, so I have been hyping myself for that. 

What activity was the most fun this week?:

Every Tuesday I go to a children's library and present to kids. This week was a friend's turn to present.
