Should I buy the MGC 4x4 or the Yuhu megaminx?

Practiced a bit of 3x3 today because I still have 4 more days of break, but I'm going to stop now because I just got 5 consecutive V perms.

Aside from that, here is a poggers ao12: the second sub-10 ao12 I ever got.

It's been so long since I updated this thread. I don't really have any time to cube, but I'm taking MAP tests next week, and we have half days from Tuesday to Friday, so I can finally get some time to cube. I don't have a lot of homework this weekend, so I was just cubing. I found out that after about 2 weeks without cubing, I'm averaging a bit higher, which is bad. Slow turning helps a bit though. I did get a sub-2 on the first 2x2 ao5 that I did though.

Focusing more on school and other academical activities other than cubing atm. Right now I cube about once per 2 weeks 😢 . I have WSC debate+writing comp tomorrow and I'm feeling pretty nervous, but I hope I'll do good.
 
PB FMC mean, a whopping 4 move improvement from last time.

I'm deciding to focus on FMC during the winter break lol, liking the event a lot. I'm going to begin by practicing blockbuilding (by practicing 222 and 223 blocks on multiple scrambles), and hopefully I can finish learning insertions by the end of the holidays.
