Cubing Update 7/18/22

 Last time I made a cubing post was in like early June where I went to Mill Valley .  What have I done since ? 1. Improve my skewb global average to around 3.6 seconds. Broke PB's in every category besides my 0.94 single. Learned 4 new algs, but the improvement mainly came from practice and better recognition. 2. Grind A LOT of 3x3. I did a lot of 3x3 on the bus on EuroTrip 2022, and when I came back and had one week at home, I WAS A BEAST. I learned around 20 new OLL algs I would say and definitely solidified my PLL.

Day 0 I leave the house at around 6:30 to get to the airport for my 10 PM 4 hour flight from San Francisco to Detroit, where I have a 2 hour layover before going on a 90 minute flight from Detroit to Philadelphia.  I was pretty dang tired, and I remember at the SFO airport as I was waiting alone to board, I ate this bag of mini poptarts which was surprisingly good. I also cubed.  I don't want to get into the boring details about flights and stuff. I was pretty alert and careful and all that, especially during the layover...
