I’m glad it’s over! No more “teaching”, just grading.
First set of debates in, one really good, one really bad. (Guy showed up just before the debate was to start!)
Got crunched… Granola gives me a review of my year.
Workout and feeling it! Thinking I might have to re-arrange my workout days. Should I put the pull ups at the beginning of the week? 3.51 km run in 26.52, off to the gym to do unweighted pull ups, push ups and squats (took 58.02 to do), then back out for another 4.53km run in 31.15!
And what if I just went travelling, ie, just left China. What am I staying for?
