Today, I brought five cubes to a grade 3/4 class. The children were making good progress on the beginner's method when there was an announcement about an Easter Egg hunt. After the students returned, there was another guest and we never got back to the cubes :(. Later, I had to solve all five cubes!

Reassembled my colored ZhanChi after cleaning it. After it was lubed and correctly tensioned, I decided it was time to do some solves.

I kept on messing up my cross, the orange edge would always be paired up with the red center and the red edge with the orange center. After 3 DNF's, I started to wonder why the heck I could no longer solve a cube, only to discover I assembled it the wrong way. Even the corners were all assembled wrong since I assembled the core first and put the corners together looking at the core. FMCL. :fp

Seeing as it was already tensioned and all, I did not bother to fully disassemble it again so I just swapped the center caps and the red and orange corners pieces, so now it's fixed but the centers look like this.

Went from a PB of 38 seconds 2 and a half weeks ago, to a PB of 18.79 yesterday. I'm way happy with how fast I've been improving, but not my hands hurt from practicing so much and so intensely. Gotta take a break for a few days so I don't get tendonitis. !FML!

The only saving grace is that at least now I'm forced to practice f2l look-ahead and recognition, since I can't to anything else.

Made an order Monday night that would have gotten to me today, but USPS "missent" it. Now it can be from a day to a week longer until it gets to the correct post office. THEN I will get it, unless they missend that one.
