I haven't yet decided whether I'll whip something up yet for it. This month has flown by, and I don't know if I'd be able to "whip up" anything in a few days. The cash prizes are tempting, but I don't know if I'm in the mood to trot out my hobby horses again, and bring up the themes that time and time again are basically held as truths among other native speakers but dismissed outright by Korean colleagues. Might just cause nothing but trouble and be an exercise in frustration.
