I was busy this week with family over, so I didn't really cube much (like 50 solves max lmao). However, I will have more time now so I am going to get back to practicing 4 - 5 hours a day. Gonna order some cubes soon as well (V5, Gan 12 (yes another one), maybe a V9 and some other stuff). I also have 2 comps coming up in December, hopefully can I get a sub 7 average. Also, NAC was officially announced, I'm going to ask my parents if I can go.

I ended up buying another Gan 12 (for some reason Gan 12's get quite a bit worse after a while), a WRM V9 BC (I've really liked the ones i've tried), and an RS3M V5 BC (I've heard it's good for OH, and I'm considering getting back into the event more since it's fun now that I'm randomly pretty good at it). Also, I got a 6.58 3x3 average in the weekly comp!
 
I was looking at some older videos on my yt, and it looks like I used to be able to turn officially. (The video I looked at was of my 7.93 PR Average from July, and my turning there was flawless compared to my more recent 7.76 and 7.68 averages)
If I could just turn like I could 6 months ago, I could probably get a sub 7 average. I might try and switch cubes, idk if it will help but it's worth a try. I have another Gan12 arriving tomorrow, along with a WRM V9 and an RS3M V5. My current Gan 12 is broken, so I have to have it really tight (1,5) to stop it from corner twisting and popping, which is probably messing with my turning quite a lot.

I bought a package off SCS last year during Christmas and it took over a month to get to me.
A few weeks ago I bought a package off the Cubicle and it took 2 business days to get to me.

I'm not sure if that's UPS or SCS's fault or if it was just the Christmas season. It didn't really bother me since I wasn't in a hurry to get my cubes but I was just curious since the time before that when I had ordered off SCS it had been fine.

The exact opposite happened to me.

I think one of the cubes was back-ordered at TC, probably the Guhong Pro as it was new. Took about a month. I also was not in a hurry so it was not a big deal.

My first cubing order was at SCS and it took 2 days though.

95% of the time it's shipping services. Once it leaves the stores it would be out of their control. A lot of people fail to grasp that though.

If I remember correctly, SCS has a big issue at that time. anyway, I ordered off SCS before, and it came in 3 days I believe, although it came a day early.

As you can see, I panicked after I finished 2nd pair and did a really bad solution for my last two pairs that led to the LLSkip. This is the solution I should of done had I not panicked:
