been out a week and busy

This week was m!dterms so I was just busy. I literally finished one exam this afternoon, and found I had to learn a language to help with a session tomorrow morning. Essentially, these past few Sundays, I've been helping make some r0bots, and pr0gramme them. Tomorrow, because it's a rainy day and we can't race r0bots, we'll be spending time pr0gramming with something called "Scr@tch". Essentially, it's a fun way to help younger people (and maybe some older people; who knows) learn how to pr0gramme. It was developed by M!t. So I was learning a bit about it, and what is interesting is that you can do fun things like add sounds, images and draw your path that you have pr0grammed.
So you can see how you can create geometric patterns, for example, by mapping  a particular motion, and then setting it to repeat (either specifically or randomly).
My mentor is an astr0physicist who also works on self dr!ving cars, so I'm stoked and it's been really fun! And sometimes afterwards, I get a P0ke bowl and boba! :)
