How does a satellite slip under your radar? :P

Here, it's firefly season, and for whatever reason, there's tons of them this year. :)

There is a sushi place semi-close to my house that I like a lot, hopefully I’ll be able to go out at one point. That would be very fun.

I am most very likely getting a desktop PC of my own in the next few weeks. Having been using laptops since 2012 in favor of portability (heck, even my parents are like "Val, don't you want a more powerful machine?"), I finally decided that more power from a desktop PC for both gaming and Data Science stuff will be lovely.

That, and I am making strides and progress on my final year project.
