I’m guessing she just turned it down… why not turn it off?Teacher! You’re so serious! Wait, I wasn’t before? Isn’t this an exam?I guess exams begin but to me it’s just a speech.No SLV podcast recorded just yet, spent much of yesterday setting up cameras! Tried out the Zoom H5 and then… decided to just record it tomorrow.No workout on Sunday, a small workout today (full body), three runs: 3.51 km in 25.51, 3.52 km in 25.22, 3.01 km in 24.06. Taking it easy as I gotta get some grading done.And, what about this travel idea? What would I do, where would I go, and why would I do it?Donate to the show!
