Mitsuki´s Poses
Hello everyone, remember I told you that I was going to publish some drawings that are about two months ago something like that, well, here is one of them. This and the following drawings have the date on them so you know the exact date. Here we have Mitsuki drawn in full body and in some poses, I hope you like it.
One Robot Six Weeks
Fueled by pizza and Mountain Dew over 78,000 high school students will be participating in FIRST Robotics teams to build a 120lb competitive robot in just six weeks. This Saturday January 9th 9amCT FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition for Science and Technology) will reveal a new game the robots will compete in. You can watch this season's Kick Off live stream HERE.
Basketball, soccer and frisbee playing robots have been built in the past. A video showcasing a new theme "FIRST Stronghold" gives hints to a Mideavel inspired games. Watch FIRST Stronghold here. Hidden in the video is a layout of a competition field convincingly drawn with symmetrical sides. Bloggers from Chief Delphi, a popular robotics discussion board, took screenshots of the blueprint and even corrected its perspective. Chief Delphi members are convinced the video allures to a capture the flag, jousting or player VS field game. Echoes of Nickelodeon Guts and Legends of the Hidden Temple 90s game shows resonate with me as I imagine robotics quickly scaling Aggro Crag and manipulating artifacts. Sprinkled the throughout the forum are hopes for water game with submerged obstacles - a long running hope and joke of robotics students. Friday January 8th 6pmCT a broadcast from a FIRST Founders evening (WATCH HERE) will be diving into the details of the FIRST Stronghold theme.
Game challenge aside I am concerned about how high school students and the general audience will view the Stronghold theme. Stronghold may create a stigma with its LARPing (Live Action Roll Play) undertones alienating students from STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) rather than inviting them in. As the 2016 FIRST Robotics season plays out we will see how Stronghold is welcomed.
With or without fancy capes and flags what these high school students are accomplishing is exrtraodinary. Designing, building, wiring, marketing, and programming these robots take industry level skills that would knock any future employer's socks off. Get behind these FIRST Robotics teams by donating or mentoring to get behind future STEM leaders.

Crossroads lay ahead
The paths are clear now:
Continue or change
Alcohol, antidepressants and rage
Sobriety, healthy lifestyle and peace
Exhausted from protecting myself
And pretending to be strong
He Called me ,
While in my darkest storm
To teach me
The power of my mind
To follow your heart
Is a fools journey.
As the heart bleeds for lust
Yet The mind survivors alone
It nourishes in silence
In screams in anger
But it forever heals and moves on
The memories remain
But the heart will always play games.

emotions make me feel physically sick
Yet I fight that feeling everyday
Just because I’m used to feeling that way
It’s not normal
I know that now
It is my soul
Breaking inside
It’s only escape
Since I lock it deep
I’ve ignored every instinct
To fight what I know
Coz the truth be told
I just don’t care no more .
Bottled for far to long
It’s only aim is to remind me every day
What makes me feel vile
But I allready know
He will never complete my soul
Yet forever under his control .
@trueemotions91
Love is a powerful word
Yet slightly absurd
To give someone your all
Yet not got the strength
To put what you have
Into yourself
Its extraordinary
How we work like that
Is that human error
Or just a self flaw.
@trueemotions91
14 months & counting ,
Crammed into 4 tiny walls,
No fresh air ,
For me to breathe ,
No one else to reach,
Covid they said,
Don’t catch a cold,
Keep your self to your self ,
14 months you know ,
Not even a glimpse of sun,
Or 2 minutes of fun,
My brains starting to go into over drive ,
With no end to the wave,
I’m losing my sanity & all hope,
That my soul will ever feel the same .
@trueemotions91
All I need is air
The sun
The moon
The sea
All things that are beyond the beauty of the earth
When all falls silence , all at last will be
How the world was ment to be
I see you , your struggles and all the things behide
But nature is calling you
To heal you
In the silence , of the night
We need that, to reinstate
Reinstate with the earth , the very place we was made
To feel the air against your naked skin
The noise of the trees
The sound of the leaves and rain
This is what your body is craving
A break from hell
And back to heaven on nature’s ground
Bare footed
To recharge from the ground
Not from the television , we weren’t made a plug in
Pick up the leaves
let the creatures of earth wiggle on your feet
Put down the phone
And dig your hands into earths rich soil
Roll around like you never have
Smell the flowers and enjoy the earth.
@trueemotions91
Somos la Resistencia, ¿no?
I am strong enough
I can handle it
I can take care of myself
I am doing my best
And if I fail
I will stand up again
I can stand up for myself
I am lovable
I am loved
I am worthy
My feelings are valid
love it >>>>>>>

Use two notebooks when taking class notes (one for in class and one for at home) the one for class, make it messy with footnotes and subtext. the one at home, make it neat (these are the ones to study off of; easy to read and short)
Quizlets or kahoots
Write down your plans for the week
Put effort in your projects (trust me, it’s worth the time)
Make school life feel cliche and try to romanticize things (it works)
When you’re studying, rewrite your notes to match your own words
Relate the information to yourself and your life. If you have chalk, draw math formulas on pavement, match your physics to life situations, randomly say history facts when relevant
Study in shorter intervals and take a decent amount of breaks (ie, 30 minutes spent studying with a 15 minute break; don’t go on the internet during that break)
Have a routine. study for a period of time in the morning or study before bed (do this every day; even on the weekends)
Stay hydrated; drink water or tea (not to much coffee)
Study Techniques
Be motivated or have strong discipline?
make condense notes
do A LOT of sample questions and answers
document your mistakes
pay attention to HOW articles are written/structured
blurting method
3Q3R
mind mapping
brown/white noise
pomodoro techniques
active recall
feynman technique
