Update

Well, it's been a while since I've picked up a cube. I don't think I'll have time until next Monday. Baseball games really take their toll when combined with school. Practice I can deal with, but games are just too long. I'm also feeling pressure from my classes. Looks like I'm gonna have to step up my game...

I have 2 full sets of ZBLL down pat. I think I notice a difference between myself and Chris Tran. I am a perfectionist. I must have everything ingrained in memory and fully executable. Slow recognition is unacceptable. Slow execution is unacceptable. But this mentality is slowing my progress. While in the long run, I may be in a better position, it eats into my practice time and prevents me from improving other parts of my solve. I did an average of 12-ish (wasn't really keeping track) and found my times were back up to 25 seconds after only 1 week of not doing full solves.

Baseball is going well. Threw a complete game opening day against Century in a 5-4 win. Only 2 of the runs were earned, and 1 of the earned runs came after an unearned run scored, so it should have been a 5-1 game. Even with these mistakes, I only threw 88 pitches. 'Atta babe!

A VHF2L document should be up in under a month.
