Doing a Todo list

Today on 19th of August I did a todo list in front of my friend to show what I had learned so far It was something that was pretty nerve wrecking. We set a location where we would meet and he would watch as I did this todo list on React after meeting at the coffee shop I opened up my editor and got started I had practice this project many times. So as soon I got with my friend I explained the steps and what I was doing explain how I was using react hooks and before in no time I had finishd the project and felt proud.

I learned how to do a todo list using useReducer and useContext which was something pretty difficult to do. It was very different than just using useState I had to break the code into different files.

I drew 100 times the same drawing

I was feeling a bit down, and to cheer myself up, I decided to do something to distract myself. One of the things I'm passionate about is art, so I decided to start drawing every day. It has been a long time since I last drew anything. It was pretty challenging at first, nothing coming out the way I wanted it to. Over time, I saw progress, and my mood also improved, so I was glad I had started doing this. After a while, I decided to draw an anime character I liked without any guidelines, which proved to be extremely difficult. When I finished my 100 drawings, the anime character did not come out the way I wanted it to, but I was happy regardless. Because I completed the goal I wanted to accomplish.
