Happy birthday Mr. Arkin!

Since it was Mr.Arkin's birthday today, we all received lollipops! After that we went back to work, with only our final repetition assignment in front of us. After that we will be starting substrings, which I am pretty excited about!

Today was probably the most unproductive flash club day ever, considering the fact that nobody actually worked with any code. It was more like play day.
Well, while we were in flash club, Zelin and I opened up Turing. Zelin showed me some of his cool programs, where you can draw things with the keyboard! We were thinking about making some kind of tiny game, but we needed to learn collision first. We found a program teaching collision, where a box would travel to another box and stop once they touched. Instead of learning anything from it, we went straight to changing the code. In the end we created an effect where the box would bounce of the second one! It was pretty cool, but if we had more time we would've made it a lot more amazing.

Well, today was actually a pretty slow day compared to normal. I learned that I misuse the word "pretty" a lot, just like in the previous sentence. Unfortunately, that's one part of incorrect grammar that is going to stay a part of my speech patterns and idioms. As I was saying, nothing much happened. So... bye for now!
