00:00I've kind of been ignoring the Hex debt, but any reduction I am happy with I suppose.
00:16I don't know what the overall thing is, but after just one semester I know that my Hex
00:19debt was almost three grand, so 20% would be great.
00:22Well, we only just started in our first year, so it's not really that big right now, but
00:28we're just hoping that we actually do get the 20% that was asked off to.
00:32I mean, yeah, if I have to spend my money, then yeah.
00:35Oh, yeah, so keen.
00:37I saw that on the voting thing and I was like, yep, very excited.
00:41For me, I did a teaching degree, so that's about 35,000, so I'm not very good at maths,
00:48but 20% is a good portion, a bit over six grand, so it'll be beneficial.
00:59The time I was going to take a look at this very much.
01:06We're here to the Trevass.
01:09Nice.
01:12Thanks.
01:14The time I was going to take a look at you, I went back to Cade, and I had to take a look.
01:17I, I was going to take a look at you.
