I dropped my 🏊‍♂️ swimming team competition just to work at the 🤖 robotics club… AND I DON’T REGRET THAT CHOICE ONE BIT!!! (Coach Fiore, please forgive me 🙏). I think I’ve told you about our lab before, but sadly, I lost some posts during the migration of my blog site (so frustrating 😓).

Oh, and you might have noticed a big 💥 change in the blog’s theme. Yup, I switched from Cleanwhite to Papermod! 📝 It feels so much more refreshing, don’t you think? 🎨 Also, I finally figured out how to use git in Vscode, it’s sooooo convenient! ...
