If you're wondering why this video is perhaps even more chaotic than usual, it may be because I started a new job this week and had an exam today so my mind was a little helter-skelter. I took a lot of notes for this video, but didn't have time to put them into a script. Further evidence: I filmed and uploaded the video, but didn't make it public.
