Up from a nap!
Welcome to the new month! November here we are!
New AI tools to try out, and getting ready for a revised Chinese course! Gamma AI, Retell AI, and how else can I use the podcast to promote these things?
Workouts in! De-load week? 3.58km run in 22.04, then to the weight room for legs and chest, then back outside for another 4.51km run in 28.12. Getting cold! And I don’t want to get my new jacket sweaty! hahaha
And, I can tell you’re not from Beijing… you thought I was cool. Meeting a group of new students on campus.
