people. Hello everybody. Welcome to the Score Channel. Welcome to another live stream session. We are starting the second term of university and my man is already getting ready to do some homework and be responsible. You got to appreciate that about my man. He's being responsible right away. It's only Saturday. The second term has only just begun. It already says three days left. I don't have an explanation for that. Like we did like two days. I think we got into the start of this term on the last session and now we're sitting here looking at like, you know, three days left. So I'm only gonna have a couple more classes. These terms are going by pretty fast, which is cool. You know, I don't mind this. I'm sitting here with my stinky socks. Getting my homework on. Let's see what we got. So we're working on the intro to comedy class right now. Looks like that's the one. I did level up my physical skill to try to beef up my performance in the make the escape class. Apparently, I'm gonna chat. Oh, Mariela is here. Mariela has been hanging out a lot at these dorms. Not sure why, but she's clearly distracting me from my homework. You know, Mariela, making it difficult for me to get things done over here. Alright, we'll put our homework away. My boy looking chunkier. Makes me wonder if I got to work out more. Man, he already ate food, but he's like hungry again. Let's see, is there any better food over here? Pasta primavera. Yeah, grab a serving of that stuff. My man's feeling flirty. Get some more food. My man's hungry. Yeah, we'll hang out with Mariela and we'll have some food. What's my, too many people surrounded me now? Well, some of them gotta realize is like, that's gonna happen sometimes, you know, university. You're not gonna be alone ever again. Are we have some food? I think it's time to clean up and have some fun. I want to I want to keep moving on this term. I want to get that. Get that going. I don't think I have any. Yeah, I don't have any gigs. I took one so that I could make some payments under my loans. I got them student loans that are wrecking me right now. But we'll be all right. I think if we can like, we can afford the next term. So that's good. We can afford the next term and then like, if I can do anything else that would hustle for some cash, that would be sweet. Yeah, we'll see how that goes. All right, what are we doing? We're cleaning up things? Yeah, we'll just stop doing that. Mariela is not complaining anymore. Apparently, I was listening to her complaints. We need to go to the banio. Banio is urgent. Oh man, he's too bad. There's too many people using the bathroom. There we go. They're bathroom for my guy. All right, and well, let's let's take a thoughtful shower. You know, we need to get squeaky clean. So we need to take some time in there and think about it. Yeah. All right, there we go. And you must go to a museum. Interesting. I kind of want to like, I want to beef up a little bit of my, you know, my gaming a little bit. Let's get our game on. Because we're gamers. That's what we do. Yeah. And then maybe we can, you know, crush some more. Well, we got to get that funds for this right now. It is weak. It's looking bad. Yeah, we got to beef up that fun. And then we'll probably call it a night here actually. I mean, that's pretty lame, right? A Saturday night. And I'm just like, you know, we're not going to do anything.  We've been working really hard. So, so let's see how it goes.  Look at them go. This is like that song about the fiddle. The devil went down to Georgia. Like they're just fighting over there with their fiddles. That's pretty cool. You know, fiddle fights. Oh no, the computer's broken. Repair the computer. You can do it. I believe. Can you fix the computer? Do you have skills? I can fix the computer, but usually it doesn't do this. If it's doing this, if your computer is doing that, it is beyond broken.  It's is going to be gone. Okay, just understand that. So what about what can we do here? What else would be fun? Let's do it. Let's do a Pradoom dance video. I don't know what that is. That sounds like fun. Yeah, let's work on our physical skills. I'm just gonna dance.  Just like, yeah, shredding it because of her violining. I love it. I think this is exactly how you should do exercise all the time.  You know, that's what I'm doing right now. I'm gonna sweat on, break dancing. And she's like, I want to go places too bad. You don't go anywhere until I'm done. Okay? I don't care if you're in a way. I don't care. Oh, she's dancing now too. See, the dance is contagious. My dance workout is like awesome, you know? So yeah, we get our dance on. Feels pretty good. Watch the world culture network. Watch channel world culture. Where's that at?  That's always good. It's always good to get three bonus points any time they give them to you. There we go. Easy, easy points. Easy points become energized. What can I do to become energized? I mean, it's getting pretty late. My energy is already dropping. So I don't know. What else we're doing here? We're just dancing. We're having a good time. Sounds pretty good up and then she killed the music. What's this person doing? What are you just coming over here to say what's up? Oh, man, that guy's got stinky sandwich.   Let's let's clean up a little bit. Let's be decent people. It'd be so nice if we had like a mini fridge. I wonder if I can get items for, you know, this place. I don't see a buy menu here. So it doesn't seem to be an option. Let's see what else we got here. I want to check out gigs. I want to see if there's any gigs I can get. Let's see. So these are Monday, audition morning, Tuesday. And they're not great for me. Alright, we'll probably skip that. Yeah, the last gig was a real disappointment. I was hoping for like more points, more money, but I didn't get it. It was it was weak. Alright, let's go to bed. Let's be responsible. Call it a night. Get us going on to Sunday. Yes, you already were saying. Alright, it still says three days left. So I wonder if it's only counting weekdays then. And that's why I was excited. I was like, wait, does the weekend count? Because like if it does, it's winter. Look at that. It's snowing outside. Isn't that beautiful? Alright, we should just clean up all this food. So there's more room for other people to put new food. That's the move. Alright, just clean up all that garbage food. You know, because we got to make space so somebody can magically bring us more food. Oh no, this this sink is busted. Repair the sink. My man's good at repairing things. So this chick's trying to let's team up on the sinks, get her done. I feel like we can do it. Maybe we'll go out and get something to eat.  So yeah, get that repair up. A degree in villainy requires knowledge of repairs. Alright, good job. Now, potty. It's time to use it. I don't know why you just walking around with a glass of water. But you need to go to the bathroom, my friend. It is it is urgent for you. Alright, and then if we can get some food, that's the next move food. Alright, so there's no food here to be had. Let's take a quick shower. Let's get let's get relaxed a little bit. Maybe we can show the web forums that would be good too. remark it like we kind of fun. Go check that out. Yeah, where's the show the forums option? I always forget where that's at. Hang on. That's social networking. No, right? No. Where's that at? Career. It's not my career. More choices. Socialized order practice program and comedy web. I feel like it would be in here. Um, yeah, it's not social networking either. Why don't I remember where to go there? Like, usually socialize other it is troll the forums. Okay, let's go. Excuse me. I'm gonna troll them ballrooms. I'll be squeaky clean.  Oh man, the starving. Fortunately, somebody brought some food. Let's go. Yeah, you know what? We just got those free cheap easy points.  And finally, somebody brought out some 40 heart cookies, which ain't a lot. But we can go to this flea market. Yeah, let's go. Let's go to the flea market. Let's see what's going on over there.  Alright, so this is the flea market over here. Cool. Where's some food? What do we got here? Okay, we got some Vietnamese. What do we got over here? Looks like some Indian and we got pork adobo. There we go. Let's get some pork adobo. That sounds good. Yeah. I want to know how I can get freaking money around here. Yeah, eat that. You need that. He's nourishment, my friend. Get them nummies.  There you go. Yeah, find a place to go eat. We're gonna talk to people. Apparently he's skating hell of hunger points even though he's not really touching his food. But hey, it's fine. Cool. There we go. That's better. Alright, is there anything else to check out here? Like what else is there to do here? We got a table that's not in use. We got like all these little like squares.  Oh man. Is that looks like the guy from a little big world. That's kind of cool.  I don't really have any money and I'm in debt so I really can't get too excited about that. But hey, we're here. You know, we're having a good time. What else can we do? Let's see. This guy's just like some bum who's playing music and we're well, let's let's go over and say hi to the bum. He's playing music. Where'd you go? Where'd you go? Are you over here? Yeah, the person has caddies. That's pretty neat. Oh, you can. Oh, these are things I can buy. Okay. I didn't realize this. Okay, wow, they're all crazy expensive. Yeah, there's no way. Um, food and locks the ability to cook it. Oh, cool. Okay, by trying more food, I learn more recipes. That's kind of neat. Alright, well here, I needed to work on my fitness skill anyway. I can shoot some basketballs around.  Don't don't do that so much anymore. Mostly because here in Peru, I'm just like too tall for people who want to play with you know, it's been so long. I said play around a little bit like at schools, you know, doing recess and stuff like nine more. So yeah. Oh, my God. What's up? I still don't understand how I'd never have gotten to know my ego despite like, why are you tipping someone 10 bucks? Where are you giving 10 bucks to people? Get out of here. Don't you dare. What is your problem? We don't have money for that. We can't be tipping people 10 bucks.  Oh man, it's crazy. He thinks we're just made of money. We could barely afford university, dude. Like I don't know what you think you're doing here but I won't. I don't think it's a good idea. Let's go back to shooting the basketball around. You were getting close to leveling up a point here. Let's get that point. Fitness level three. Let's go. And I'm energized. Go for a jog. Can we just do that now? Like actions? No, it doesn't seem to be an option here. Oh, I need to find some warm clothing. I'm freezing to death. Hang on a second. Look at my guy right here. I literally am freezing to death. Let's change outfit then. What's my winter? This seems like winter clothes. Yeah, put that on. There we go. That's better.  You know, that's a pretty cool thingy that they've added to the game because I'll tell you what, I used to have that experience in real life.  Look at me starting up right, Chester Cheer, trying to get people hype. Love it. All right. What else we got here? Use a bathroom. Let's use it. Let's use a community bathroom. Maybe they're nicer. You know, it's it's a very small bathroom, but I think we should use it just to say we've used it. Like I want my guy to have been a guy who's experienced a lot of bathrooms. No, you never know when you're going to need a good bathroom and you want to know where they are. Buy something. So is there anything here that I can forward that isn't extremely expensive? Like, I mean, don't get me wrong, these things look cool and everything, but like a floor lamp, I guess for 60 bucks could be an option. Like, but yeah, I don't think I'm going to buy anything because I'm broke. It's not going to happen, dude. So why am I pointing and laughing at somebody? Why am I just being mean to people? Build a snowpal. There's no snow on the ground to really build a snowpal. So I don't see any options there. What's this? Oh, is there more stuff I can do here? Like, oh, no, these are like weird little rooms. It's like, oh, it's a little bar in here. Okay. Cool. Yeah, I don't really feel like going into one of these. So I think you can just kind of bail on this and get out of here. You know, that seems reasonable. There's my dude at yeah, we're just hanging out here. I think it's a good time to get out. Let's bail. And let's we don't need to bring more to the festival in an hour. Yeah, that's fine. We can we can bail in the festival. I think that's fine. The festival was nice and all it was just a little flea market. But hey, you know, I don't have any money. So me and flea markets are not a great combo right now. It's tough being broke. If y'all ain't ever been broke. I would suggest you experience it sometime. It's good for you to know what the other side lives like. You know. Alright, so some people are upset about the mess in here. You know what?  I don't know why why you can't contribute to the cause. Be a decent human being. Look at you go. Yeah. Alright, that shower getting nasty. So she's like even she's like, I don't know, man, this is a shower funky. She's not even taking her clothes off. She's cleaning it now. Okay. I was gonna say that seemed weird. Alright, are we already? You just want to cry in bed? What is up with this dude? What are you crying about? Not get off. Um, alright, I've done homework for two of my three courses. Let's see if we can't knock out another one because that would probably boost up my grades real good for the second term. Like if we only have three more days, so it says one now. So literally, it was three days a minute ago when it was turning into Sunday. And now it says one. So the weekend does count. I don't think I realized this. I was thinking like the weekend didn't count for the terms, but it clearly does. So that means tomorrow is going to be my last day of class. That means like this Tuesday, Thursday class, these I'll only have taken these like twice the last week where I was playing like that's it. And then yeah, there we are. So I guess we're going to be moving on to term number three. And that's even worse for me economically because I have like no freaking money.  So that's kind of a problem. I always need these terms to go a little bit slower so that I don't go broke. That's kind of where we are. But I've done my homework for all three. So I'm wondering if just tomorrow I'm gonna have this one class and that one final exam like if there's no other days left in the term that seems to be what it would suggest my man's way ahead of me. He's eating a heart shaped cookie. He's already ready to go. It's a shame we don't have any like healthier food available today. But we're dependent on the magic food that just appears here. So we got cake and cookies today. We're just going to deal with it. But you can live on cookies in college. Your body gets good at like processing anything and turning it into learning.  Whether it's like cookies or whether it's cake or whether it's Taco Bell, you take that and you turn it into learning fuel. That's what's amazing about your body in college. It just it doesn't matter what you put in it. You'll make it work. That's something you can't do as you get older. Eventually your body's like no dude this thing you put in does not it does not work.  That's kind of cool. Alright I think right there that's a good this a good time bro. Party nightclub Sunday night day before finals.  What's up? I see you there. What's going on my man? Welcome back. How are you doing? Well, yeah, we're it looks like we're going to end up finishing up this the second term like this day if all goes well. So I'm my thumbnail is going to be horribly out of date pretty quick. You know kind of crazy. What's up Gonzalo? What's happening? How you guys doing today? How's life treating you? I had some some Spanish food in this game. I had some adobo. That was that was on the menu. That was cool. I like to see that. I'm doing pretty good. Been a busy day. Had some new classes were starting up that we're giving people at some other schools. So I was supervising that stuff just before I came in here making sure everything's going okay is going okay. Everything's going pretty good. So so we're doing good. We're having a good day. Yeah, what else is going on? I'm at the moment not like a whole lot else. I had a pretty good weekend went out a little bit. So you have a wait, what's this? Send help.  But don't worry. That's why you get to you know, that's that's why you got a backup of almost every part. You really need to only worry about the parts. You only have one up, right? If you got two of them, you're good.  You're fine. You only yeah, why is a furry guy here? Why? That is a good question. So I don't know. I'm not sure why. Okay, this is somebody who lives here. Dressed up as the university dragon. That's the that's the mascot. Obviously, we're gonna high five the dragon. That's clearly what we got to do as long as he does. It's a little weird that he's just hanging out in the bathroom. I gotta say I have questions. Well, let's high five him in the bathroom.  You pay a lot of money for your dorms. Yeah, I don't I don't know what what the bad mascot is doing in the bathroom. I have no idea. I don't know how he got in here. I don't know who let him in. I don't know like why he's just like, hey, hang on the bathroom and everybody high five me like beats me, man. I don't know. But yeah, that's what they be doing right now. It's weird. So I mean, it's maybe maybe he's just like, maybe he's not really like experienced as a mascot or she I guess it's Paloma, maybe she's like, this is her first time doing mascot duty, and she's not sure how to do it. And so she's just like, well, let me start in the bathroom. Like that's where I feel comfortable. I don't know. I'm not sure. I don't have good answers for you. That's the first time I've seen that. We're on our way to class. Let's go. Oh, look, it's getting all snowy. You got to wear your winter clothes. All right. Mail. Again, I don't know where it delivers it to because I don't really have a mailbox and some people just have like letters on the floor. But okay. So yeah. All right. Now it is last day of class as I am in this class. So again, I don't know if like, I'm actually finishing this class or not. If I'm taking the final exam or what? It's really weird. Because it seems like, you know, I don't know, seems like I shouldn't have like more time in this term because I'm going to have to pay for another semester and I've only made like 400 bucks. And I already owe money from the last semester. It's getting rough economically. But yeah. Yeah, this dorm. Oh, wait, look, look, he's cleaning up. Look at that. Look at him go. Yeah. Good job, Dragon. Making yourself useful. Can you imagine if like a dragon just walked into your bathroom and just started cleaning stuff up and like high fiving people? How that would affect your day? Possibly your life? Like I don't I think that would have a dramatic impact on your future. But look at him go. He's just cleaning the whole thing. Incredible. I, you know, I, I will say, I've been evaluating this game to see how realistic it is, how well it represents, you know, the college experience. And I got to say, I don't think that part's very realistic. I don't think the mascot is just going to like roll up into your campus and in your housing and be like, Hey, I'm here to clean everything like, probably not going to happen. All right, probably not. It'd be cool if it did. I would totally love to see that, but it just seems unlikely. Unlikely to me. Well, good. We're done with class, right? No, we're not. I said 10 55. So where are you? All right, I guess I took the final exam. There you go. So based on what I saw last term, I mean, I don't think I'm going to have to actually do these finals for the next day because it says this is the last day of class and these classes here are like Tuesday, Thursdays. Again, I don't understand it. I don't have like a good explanation for you. But hey, we'll take that. We take those. If I get an easy out. That's cool. And I've been trying to work on my repair skills. So even though the dragon doesn't know how to fix things, just clean things, I get in there. I'll help you out dragon and look at what look at him go. We're working together teamwork, dragon teamwork, scavenge for parts. Maybe I'll find something in here I can use. We'll see. Boom. Garbage. Alright, what else can we fix in here? Yeah, fix that too. I like to be handy. I've replaced my own sinks and done some shower work on my own in real life. You know, I try to fix things or try to leave things a little better than the way I found them. I wouldn't get into the bathroom. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen. I don't think it's gonna happen in real life. I would hope not. I would hope not. That would be weird. I mean, unless you know, maybe it's one of them nights.  Something happens. You know, it's it's possible. I mean, I wouldn't rule it out. So I still I don't need to go to class anymore. It's weird. It's keeping some weird actions laying around. Alright, now that this room is like decent. Hey, I aged up. Oh man. What? Okay, hang on. Fulfilling dreams, planning for retirement, midlife crisis. Wait, I'm considered an adult in the middle of college now.  Um, but that is unusual, I will say. I didn't expect that to happen so quickly. I guess we all grow up pretty fast, you know, when you're in college, it goes by fast. You don't even realize it. So yeah, I guess I'm an adult now. So congratulations me. Sweet. Alright, so it's Monday. I've finished these. I guess I don't really have anything else to prepare for because these classes are done. So the only thing I really need to think about now, why am I sitting on the toilet crying? I don't know, man. Get out of there, bro. What are you doing? Let's look for gigs. Let's see if we can find some jobs because I'm gonna, if I, if my math is right, I have just enough money to pay for like the next term, but I won't have hardly anything to make a payment on my loan and then I'm gonna be like super broke too. So I kind of need to pick up something here. Now handiness is something I'm good at. Tuesday night audition would be great because it won't coincide with classes and the Thursday morning will probably screw me, but like, man, kind of have to do what I gotta do. They're all the same time. I don't have any guitar skill. I don't think I have a whole lot of charisma skill. We gotta take it. We gotta get that paper. We gotta make some money. Alright, so we're gonna try and do that. And then that way we got, we got a gig. So tomorrow Tuesday I can go do the audition. I'll probably get the job because I got that handiness skill. I've been working on that skill. Eat the rest of that cookie. You left that before when you went to the flea market. That cookie should still be, don't, no food left behind. That's our policy here. We have a strict no food left behind policy. That's how I roll. That's why I gain weight when I go to the U.S. every time because I just can't stop eating the food that's there. It's too much. It's too delicious. Maniale wants to know if I can go over to her house and hang out. It's pretty early. I think we could do that. We could do that. Let's uh, yeah, let's do that. Let's go hang out at the score counseling house for a minute.  Oh, thanks, Danny. Yeah, um, there's really no point to the game.  Look at that. Hi, I don't know why it doesn't think I, well, never mind. You just vanished. I don't know where you went. So yeah, um, thanks for inviting me over. Uh, pep, positive vibes in life. Um, yeah, I got, you know, this is the counseling lounge, obviously, where counseling happens. Um, and then, you know, there's, there's, this was a work in progress. You know, I haven't done the walls yet and stuff. There's, there's, it's still a little bit of a, it's a startup. You know, it's a startup. It's, it's got a ways to go. We got, we got things. What's up Mauricio? What's going on, my man? How you doing? Um, yeah, I see you. I see what you're suggesting. Uh-huh. Why are you not in the world anymore? I think there you are. There you are. There you are. Um, it's weird though that I don't, it doesn't seem to remember me knowing you because it's saying right now funny introduction and it's like, that would suggest that like I had never met you before which is just weird because I totally came in here. Maybe it was that day that some of my progress got erased. I'm not sure. Um, but there you are. There you are. Maybe you just left the lot for a minute because like people vanish when they go to another location and then they come back. So yeah, there you go. Yeah. Um, the Huber and Hijinks Festival. Let's take a look at this. This sounds like the kind of thing that I would do. I feel like there was something like this. Yeah, yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah, the lighter dark tea. We did this before. I remember this at the very beginning when I started playing this game. We could, we could maybe consider going there. That could be kind of fun.  I don't know. We'll see what options we got. All right, where's the, what's going? Yeah, okay. So I can go back there at any time. Yeah. You're good. You're good. Okay, I'm glad your foot is okay. I'm glad you don't have to like just have one foot for the rest of your life because it is nice to have two. Like I said, you do have extras, but it's nice to have two. So, yeah. So, you know, you can see here. Lovely, lovely situation. Uh, my man wants to do sit-ups, you know?  No shame. Just like, yeah, let's crunch some sit-ups. Um, somehow being an adult got me fatter.  I think it'd be fun. Let's uh, let's travel to the festival. Let's bring everybody. Yeah, let's see if uh, we didn't all want to go to. Boom. The more the merrier, exactly. That's what it is, you know? Bring the whole clan and have everybody have a good time. And it's, it's kind of like a festival for my character. I mean, I'm all about mischief and pranks and shenanigans and this festival is kind of dedicated to that. So, you know, yeah, look at us all having a good time. So, yeah. I'm gonna share my excitement. Wait, why don't you share excitement? Like, takes me to another, that's weird. I don't know. Um, yeah. So, uh, let's see what we can do around here. Let's see what we got going on. There was like light tea and dark tea. I think this was like the prankster tea and I, I'm pretty sure I already did that. I joined the pranksters and the jokesters. I mean, I'm definitely more of a pranksters kind of guy, you know? Like, I like playing pranks. Wait, so you're doing history homework for appeasement? Appeasement, like the policy of basically just giving Germany a little bit of whatever they wanted so that they wouldn't do more horrible things? Whoa! Look at this!  This game is broken! I did all my homework. How was I supposed to do a final exam if I didn't have class today with those classes? I got Fs in the classes that I didn't go to today on the last day of the term, but I got, I didn't have a chance! There was no class! It's broken! And now I'm on probation! I don't even know what that means! Oh man, I'm in trouble. Ask if mermaid. Yeah, you got to sometimes find out. Was a bit low. I'll see you. Sometimes you got to ask people through mermaids just to find out. You know, you never know. But I am in shock. I was doing so good on my, on my academics. Ouch! Yeah, that's kind of broken, because like, that shouldn't happen. I, I don't understand how I got screwed out of two courses here, but okay. So do I have to take those again? I think I, I think I do. Let me see. It is making me do make the escape again. That's, that's one that I had before. I did two and one, which is basically how you get through in like, you know, four terms.  I, it kind of feels like I got ripped off there. I don't understand how. I'm doing good even though thanks for asking. Yeah, I'm doing pretty awesome, you know? Feels good. Yeah, so what else we got here? I could do some unstable rocket science, salvaging pre-handiness. I'm good at that. Let's take that. I got to complete eight classes to graduate. So I'm guessing that one didn't count. So I should be at like five, I think. We're staying in the same housing hall because it's the cheapest and unbroken. Okay, so all right, this one's all cool. I did get some scholarship. Nice. Okay, that's clutch because we need that right now. We need that. We so broke. So we'll pay with the money we got. Nice. All right, we're signed up. Man, so it says term hasn't started yet. Tomorrow we're going to start more classes. All right, unbelievable. I can't believe I failed my classes. I feel so bad, you know, 20% and turned it in. Yeah, basically, like that's just what I got. I got wrecked by, I believe, an unfair system. But okay, you know, we'll rise up and overcome. Sometimes that's going to happen.  I'll just say it was like that. But um, but yeah, that seemed a little, a little unfortunate to say the least, you know. Do you want to sing the prankster theme song? Let's see, let's see if uh, you know the prankster theme song. You don't want to, she's like, nah, nah, not having it. Nobody wants to sing the prankster theme song for me. What's this here? Tell a self-deprecating joke. I can do that all day. That's like my kind of, self-deprecating jokes are kind of my favorite. Yeah, failed social studies. Hey man, first time for everything, you know. I'm known for bringing, bringing the grades hard on people sometimes. It's, it's one of my things, you know, I try to be balanced, but I do, I do fail people. And I do sleep beautifully after I do. Some people are like, how can you do that? You're so mean. I was like, oh man, I feel good when I don't fail people. Not that I do it, just cuz. I do it for a good reason. But I don't feel bad about it. I kind of laugh on it. It's like, real talk. Um, yeah, self-deprecating jokes are really the best. Yeah, last year's essays too, I don't know, right? Facts, you guys said it. This guy, Clonkis, who guy dressed like, like Neil Patrick Harris, or like Colonel Sanders. It's like a skinny Colonel Sanders from KFC, but he also kind of looks like he could just be Neil Patrick Harris. Interesting. All right, well, we got classes and an audition tomorrow, so I think, I think the festival has had its, you know, has been a good run, but uh, we're all hanging out and having a good time. Yeah, I mean uh, I'm gonna convince Tyler that the tea is poisonous. That sounds fun. That sounds like something. Dude, it's poisonous.  And then you're gonna want to get on a rocket ship and go to the moon. That's what's in the tea, dude. Don't drink it. Oh, I'll see if you like that. He's like, thank you, bro. Good looking at it, you know. That's the last thing you want. Where's yours? Uh, yours is somewhere, I brought yours over here, I don't know, maybe she left. Yours was hanging around here somewhere. She might have just bailed. Um, because yeah, yours was in here, Maria Lee. Wait, there you are. There you are.  That's why I didn't recognize you. That's apparently your winter outfit.  There you go. So yeah, winter outfit. Socializing.  Digging it. Digging it. Yeah, that's fun. So, yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go. You see her. She's hanging out here. All right, so she didn't leave. You know, it's all having a good time. Everybody's having a wonderful time. Love it. Yeah, start a cheer. Let's cheer for the university. Yeah, everybody get hyped. Boom. Love it. I know, it's pretty great. So, procrastination will get you Gonzalo, you know. That's uh, that's the hardest thing to like overcome. I, I, I just can't. I, I, in my brain, I'll be like frustrated if I know I still got stuff to do. So I try to knock everything out early. All right, I think we're gonna bail because we gotta go be responsible. I can't be failing more courses. I don't even know what's gonna happen with my like probation thing. It says I'm on probation. So I don't even know what that does. Like your hair's blacker and my nail is blonder. There's a lot of limited options for these things. Um, like one of the things that drives me crazy about creating sims is that there's no way to control height, right? Like it just, all of them are the same height no matter what. And I'm like, that's, you have all these other options for customization, but like the one most significant physical characteristic of most people is like completely ignored.  It just doesn't make sense to me that you don't, you know? We gotta grab a serving before this magic food disappears because it's only got a couple hours. So we gotta eat before we go to bed. But yeah, it's, man, the dragon's still hanging out here. It's weird. Now it's getting kind of weird. You know that the dragon's just like here still. I don't know what's going on. So tall people problems. Exactly, it is because like I feel, I feel underrepresented, you know, by the sims community. I feel like my identity is just not reflected in the sims world. And I feel like that's discrimination. We should cancel the sims because they don't have enough people of tallness, you know? That's what I'm thinking. But I guess I can't think too much. All right, sleepy time. Let's go. Now we've got two classes tomorrow, three to four, 25, and we got nothing else. The other ones are all right. This is good. This works out because Thursday is the day I got to do that other. Well, where am I going? Where are you? What are you doing? Get to bed. You gotta be responsible. Yeah, so if I had that audition on Thursday or no, the auditions tonight technically, wait, where'd it go? It's weird. Like I had an audition and everything and it's gone now. That's odd. I don't know what's going on, man. I'll save though, because I don't trust. The sims is canceled. Yeah, it's not, it's not a technical limitation, exactly. Like the clothes on the dragon guy can be taller. Like there's there's no reason why they can't put that in there. I don't understand why that restriction is there. Just what are you really about to play a violin while I'm trying to sleep? Yo, can you not? Can you not? Can you not? Can you stop that, please?  Like I try to be nice and everything, but dude, that's just rude. What if your roommate does that in college? I think you have the right to say something. I think you can go up and be like, yo, this is not an appropriate time for violin playing and please stop that. I think that's perfectly acceptable. Okay, last for five weekdays. See, that's not what happened. I literally just had a whole weekend where those days disappeared and then I didn't get to take the test. So this seems like a lie. But okay, whatever you guys say. Any fresh food? Yeah, let's get our food on. Morning food. I don't know, man. But we'll get there. We'll get there. We're gonna be all right. I'm gonna eat some food. Shower up. I don't know where my gig went. That's still so weird to me because I totally had a gig for today. So that's just gone. I wonder if like when I reset the term if it got rid of it or something. Makes no sense. I'm trying to make some money. Look at how little money I have. I got to make a payment like on this loan watch. Like I'll go, I'll show you right now like how bad it is. Make loan payment. You'll see how tragic the situation is. I owe 900. I gotta make a minimum of 54. Let's make the minimum payment.  It's quite affordable to carry debt in the Sims economy. You know, they must have a lot of protections for consumers or something. I don't know. But um, yeah, I feel like I should be uh, oh he wants a cold shower. Maybe to stop feeling flirty. Help him cool off. Through a road flag in your college of experience. Dragon Guy Never Shower. Yeah, Dragon Guy, there's a lot of questions that could be asked about Dragon Guy. I'm gonna give him relationship advice, you know. Help him out in life. Hey man, listen. Here's what I think about love. Oh, just left. Okay. Apparently my relationship advice was so bad. He's just like, I'm out. I got nothing to do with you. Which um, fair. Fair. I don't really have uh, criticisms. Now, I was, hang on, where's my homework? I had my homework at one point and now it's, oh wait, he's doing it right now. I was gonna do my homework, but he's already got it in his hand. My man's so responsible. You gotta love the responsibility. All right, so I'm on probation. What did, I don't know what that means still. Like can I get kicked out of college for getting crappy grades? Can you imagine if like this series is just cut short? Can I make money? Yeah, I mean, I can do jobs. I have these like gigs as a commercial, commercial spokesperson. I have to like go to an agency and do an audition and then if I get the gig, I do the commercial and I get a few hundred bucks. But like as a student, it's kind of hard to work and study, so you have to do these little like extra hustles and stuff. That's kind of how they do it. So all right, so our class is at three. We got a couple hours. Yeah, we're good. Let's not got this homework. Just crush it. See if you can get that done. Be responsible individual. Like I just took it into the bathroom for a minute. I don't think we finished that homework, did we? 50% done. Um, do you want to grab some more food? Hang on. Let's go back to the inventory and finish that homework. Yeah, that was the unsecuring secure locations. Unsecuring and secure locations, right? Opening locks, things of that nature. Stuff that a villain would need to know, you know? So we'll get that going. We'll get them points up. Boom, boom, boom. Let's go. That's it. Look me being responsible in somebody else's room for some reason. I don't know what's wrong with mine, but hey, here we are. All right, so do that. I think we'll grab some food real quick. All right. What do we got? What can we eat? Grab a serving of chocolate chip cookies? Yeah, the direct lunch of champions. Chocolate chip cookies. Let's go. And then we'll go to class, be responsible, and try not to fail another term, because somehow, I can't believe that happened. It's just so painful. Nom, nom, nom, nom. All right, sweet. Cookies are good, and I think that means we'll just go to class as soon as we watch these dishes. Yep, there it is. Let's go. He wants to play Don't Wake the Llama. I have never heard of the game Don't Wake the Llama, but that sounds like a fun game to play, if you ask me. You know, how does it work? You got to have a sleeping llama, obviously, and then you've got to have some sort of action that you take, where like you might wake up the llama. So maybe, I don't know, maybe I like tickle it with a feather while sleeping and you try not to wake up the llama. I don't know what, how that game would work. I can't really think of the rules for Don't Wake the Llama. I mean, it seems pretty clear that you just don't want to be the guy that wakes up the llama, but I feel like there's um more explanation necessary. Let's go to them, go to them commons. Get someone to have free meal plan food. You always want to eat from your meal plan, people. That's free food. You, I mean, you already paid for it, so it's not really free, but you know what I mean? Discount goodies. And as usual, there's nobody here to actually, whoa, this guy's like got super speed. He's so good at debate, he's so fast. Crazy. Let's uh, let's tell jokes. It's a good way to boost that fund score and then here's the, here's the kitchen lady doing kitchen lady things. So we'll get that going right now. Yeah, we feeling good, we're getting our fund score up. We'll go grab, we'll order some food. Let's get that uh fish tacos. Yes, he's zero. Zero is the price that I can afford. Jasna's nerve eating. Uba Tway Gway Nooch. Jasna's nerve eating. Yeah, we'll take a break from that for a second so we can eat because my man's starving. Hobie road chivalry. Yeah, give me some food. Fish tacos. I had the best fish tacos in California. Oh, I mean the flyna. I forget the place. Sharkies, I think. Sharkies fish tacos. Birthday party for Manila. Oh, of course we got to go to Manila's birthday party. That sounds like fun. I mean, it's her birthday party, I guess, so sure. Yeah, let's go to the birthday party. I didn't bring a present. I wasn't really prepared, but hey, we'll go. There should be more free food too, so that's cool. Let's uh let's say happy birthday. What's the, where's the option to do that? Where's the like happy birthday option? All right, I guess there isn't one. But yeah, we're here having happy birthday, so that's cool. What if we uh, oh look, there's like food that wasn't finished. I'll go finish the food because it's your birthday. Oh, who's this person? Oh man, there's a caterer. We got like people making food and here I am making food. Crazy.  She's like, oh, she wants me to stop cooking? I'm sorry, I didn't need to upset you. Geez. All right, my bad, my bad. No worries, let me impersonate some mermaids and make you feel better about that whole situation.  I didn't realize you had hired help for your party, my bad. Excuse me. Okay, I'll be careful next time. Look at this very like, you know, I don't know, this is like Gustavo when he was like 90 years old, he was a professor at some university, like with the test and the pocket square and all that. That's a look I've never seen before. Oh yeah, you know, I'm having a good time. So, yeah, right in your day. There you go. Have a wonderful day. It's your birthday. We're going to party like it's your birthday. We might even sip a card like it's your birthday. So, yeah, I like how the caterer just like, all right, I made the cake.  I would be making some phone calls to the catering company here. Can I make drinks for everybody? Like, can I be cool like that? Will that upset people? If I do that, I mean, maybe it will. I don't know. Yeah, cake time. Let's go. I don't want to take that first piece though. I feel like that might be like a party foul, you know. Let's see. Are we going to eat that cake? All right. She's already eating pieces of cake, so I got to get mine.  Yeah, it's still so weird that like, I was making a salad and got yelled at. Yeah, I don't know who you're talking to, lady, but we're having birthday cake. I'm having a lovely time. I'm just sitting there like reading a book. Have a good time. I love the way the caterer is just sort of forced to awkwardly be here while we're doing a birthday party, but I was like nothing to do. I'm just sitting there doing other normal things. It's kind of funny. Yeah, everybody having a good time. Let's talk about moving boxes, man. Moving boxes when he was a dolly, you know. One day I got some crazy like guru music going on here. Good stuff. Yeah. Well, this been a lovely social gathering. So, um, what have you got here? Anything? Tell a joke? Yeah, let's tell a joke. Okay. Stroom, stroom.  I had to walk away. I don't, I have no idea what's going on. There we go. Okay, I rack up them points. Let's go. All right. I think it's about time I probably get going out of here. It's been a lovely birthday party. Thanks so much for inviting me. Thanks for having cake. I don't know why I can't just leave. I'm trying. Oh, wait. Yeah, bring cake and get this mile. Well, I'm going to end it early. I'm going to bail. I got places to be. I got to go study and not fail college because like we're not doing good financially or academically. We're having trouble. We're just toughen up bathrooms. What time do we got to be up tomorrow? We got class at 9 30. Okay. It's all just morning, morning, morning. Okay. That's not bad then. At least it's all out of the way.  I already got one homework done. So that's good. So yeah, now it says six days left in the term and it did say before weekdays. So that would just imply that like if there's six days left and today is Tuesday, then we would finish on the weekend. So maybe it won't be a big issue this time around. I don't know.  Mysteries. Who understands? Sleep on and probably about Winterfest. Lovely. Is there any, any edible food? No. Uh oh, we're all out of food here. Might have to just try to survive. Actually, no, I just wanted to go straight to the showers. Too late. Oh, there's food. Right. Oh no, no, they covered all the bad food. Is that fresh food? Nope. That's stanky cookies. Stanky cookies. That could be a pretty good band name, you know. All right. We got TV time. He wants to just watch some TV. I guess that's reasonable. I'm looking for some food, man. If anybody's got some food, don't be holding out on me. Oh, what do we got here? Oh, we got roast chicken sitting in my room.  Nice. Okay. Always got to look for that free food. We ain't got money. All right. Good stuff. And then class. Class will be coming up in a little bit. We don't get along at all. This person and I, we talk almost every day and our relationship bar is dead zero. We always have negative interactions. I don't know what it is. We just clearly aren't that compatible, I guess. All right. So I should be going to class like right now. Right? This is 9.30. Oh, unless it's off because of the holiday and maybe it is, I think it might be. Yeah. Every once in a while when these holidays come up, but like screws with the schedule so that might be what's going on. All right. I think we're going to call it there for today. I think that's a good stopping point for today.   It's kind of getting ridiculous. Like I know I'm eating a lot, but I mean, I got to eat.  I mean, I do work at a little bit, but like, man, my man is putting on those freshman pounds. It's getting disturbing. Like I wonder how far this is going to go if we make it all the way to like eight terms. But these people just sit in my bed doing homework and stuff. I wonder if we don't get long. What are these little things? What are these little guys? They're little gnomes with like a Minecraft block on them. What do you know? That's weird. It's like they're pixelated. I don't know if I want to know. I'm not sure if I want to know. I might just say that's enough. Yeah. Yeah. I think we're going to call it there. And then we'll go next week. We'll see if we can make it through some of this third term here without screwing it up completely and getting kicked out of college. That's that's the goal is now is not to get kicked out of college. So we'll see if we can pull that off. Thanks for hanging out people today. Thanks for blowing up the chat. Always appreciate you guys. And yeah Thursday, we got another university episode coming out. We're going to be talking about a university from Indianapolis. So you guys can check that out. I got another university coming out the week after that. And we are working on some videos about how to study in other countries. So some cool stuff coming out soon. So yeah, I think that's where we're going to call it for today. But thank you guys. And I will see you next week.


Well, hello and welcome back to my channel. My name is Sophie, I'm a teacher, coach and mixed media artist and I'm newly discovering the journey through sketchbooks. I've re-found my love of creativity after years of being in a kind of creative desert, if you like. I'm trying lots of things, I haven't really got me to where I want to go. I finally found something completely different from what I was doing before that I absolutely love and I think this is my new future direction and I'd love to share that journey with you alongside of course sharing the usual business topics that I share on this channel. So I hope you do enjoy the mixture of art that's coming up and business. I think right now I have a lot of videos on this channel for you to watch all about marketing and sales and making a living from your art and social media and productivity. If that's something that you really want to watch, there's plenty of videos for you to watch and for those of you that are interested to go behind the scenes in my studio, in my own creative work and now sharing my love of sketchbooking, I have so many, I've re-woken up an old Instagram account that's Sophie Mahir Art. So if you want to follow my journey pictorially, please follow me over there as well.   Now you might say to me, oh goodness me, Sophie, that's an enormous challenge and you would be right. But right now I feel like it's something that's easy in flow and I'm doing it anyway. So why not actually make a challenge and see where I can get to? So I've been sketching every day for the last month and it feels so in flow and gives me so much joy and I've already developed and grown of course during those 30 days. So my question I suppose is, well, how much could I grow and change and develop over a year? So I want to share three things in this video, kind of what my challenge is going to look like, what are the benefits of doing a year-long challenge and how you might like to get involved as well. So first up, how is this going to look for me? Well, very often when you hear people talk about a year-long challenge, they will then say, oh, I'm only doing it Monday to Friday or Monday to Saturday. And you know what? It doesn't really matter. So long as you've made the commitment, you stay consistent and you stay on track for what you said you're going to do. So what feels good for me is the Monday to Friday.  So I think for the next 12 months, that gives me 261 days. Yeah, I have worked that out, which somehow doesn't seem very much at all. But anyway, that's all good. And if I happen to do anything extra the weekend, then that's a bonus, I'm going to do things like timed sketches. And I really love that. I follow a few sketchbook and illustrator artists at the moment. So I really like what they're doing in terms of putting a timer on 15, 20 minutes. It's something I used to do when I was teaching back in the day with the students. And I think that it's going to serve very well now, because what can happen is you can just start your sketch. And before you know it, you've actually created a finished drawing. And that's really not the idea here. The idea is to capture the moment and get something that's a little bit quicker. And if you want to go in a bit more detail, then maybe take it out the sketchbook and put it somewhere else, right? So I'm going to do timed. And I'm going to write at the bottom, whether it was a five minute, 10 minute, 15, I think 20 is probably going to be the maximum amount of time that I'm going to do. I'm going to try lots of different media. Now at the moment, I've got already quite a large amount. I had a large amount before. I was a collector of art materials. Don't forget to leave me a comment below.  Well, here's a real benefit, right? I collected a lot of things over the years. Now I'm just blowing the dust off them and going, look at that fantastic set of amazing watercolor pencils that my children used at school and I kept them. And now I think, wow, that's quite a that's quite a good start, right? I've added to that over the last few weeks and actually have something arriving today. I've just had a notification. So that's super exciting. So yes, I'll be trying out lots of different media. I've got a whole long list of extra things that I would like to try that I don't have. So I have a little shopping list. So I'll keep you enrolled in what I'm buying and how it looks like. And then I'm going to be exploring different topics. It's very interesting though, because having already done this for 30 days, I found that I've gravitated into the complete opposite of what I used to paint when I painted large semi abstract canvas. You can probably see the bottom of one above here in the shot. And that's Cornish St. Ives seen on a really large canvas that took me a really long period of time. And you know what? Now I've discovered that I don't even use the same color palette. I'm actually inspired by what's around me. Finally, it's taken so long. If you know me well, you're going to laugh at that point in the video. But I'm actually loving greens. Green is my new favorite color at the moment. We'll see what I say in a year's time, right? I'm sure it will have changed. But at the moment, I'm drawing trees and plants and flowers and the wild flowers. And I'm drawing houses and buildings. I've also got a sketchbook that I'll link to above here that you could watch. That was my first one from the Europe trip. And I'm already halfway through the second book, which is predominantly Sicily in Italy. So I'm kind of doing that, working back on that as well. And once that's finished, I'll do a flip through video of that as well. So won't be just greens, it'll be buildings, it'll be wherever I am at the time. And I'm going to be open to exploring all different sorts of topics, right? Because that's how we grow ultimately. And I really feel that by doing this, it's going to push me outside of my comfort zone, right? You know how it's easy as us creators just to stay doing what we do. Well, I know how to do those, I'll do those. But actually, I want to go back to drawing still lives. I used to love those when I was way back as a young person. I used to do a lot of still lives. So I'm going to try those again.  But the more you do it, the better you get, right? So I'm going to get out of the comfort zone and try sketching things I wouldn't normally sketch. One of my goals that I've written down for this challenge is to really loosen up. I know that by nature, I can end up being quite detail and quite line orientated. I think that goes back to my original training back in the day. But I want to be looser and freer. So I aim to make a mess. And that's something again, that creatively, I don't tend to do let alone in a sketchbook. So that's the goal is to be looser and to make a mess. So again, I'll let you know how that goes. I'm definitely going to be inspired and use other people's prom lists. So once you start in this world of sketchbooking, you soon find that there are a lot of people out there who provide you with prompts and you can tag them and use their hashtag and you can get involved in a month of a certain theme or perhaps a week of different ideas. Because at the end of the day, 261 days is a lot of time for you to come up with different sketching things. So you might just as well use other people's prompts, right? So I'm definitely going to be doing that. I'm also going to be making up some of my own as well. And do you know what's really, really great? I'm going to be posting every day. I'm doing it at the moment anyway. I've started. So my Instagram at the moment looks very blue with boats at the bottom. And then there's a change post. And now it's my drawing on my sketching. So it's going to be a little bit slow to get going.  So if there's anybody out there who's reviving an old Instagram account, so long as it's the same audience and the same type of topic that you're posting, you should be good. You just continue with your engagement, you're posting, you just keep doing, and eventually it takes back off again. All right. So that's what we're doing there. So number two, what are the benefits? So obviously quite a few of the things I've mentioned in number one are also the benefits for you if you decide to take up the challenge. So firstly, massive improvement, right? When you do something consistently day in, day out, you are going to get better. So if you are starting out, or you feel like you've probably got some room for improvement in your art, then a massive benefit of doing something like this, obviously, is that you're going to improve no matter what, right? Honing your style. Now this is something that I get asked an awful lot about. You know, I'm not sure if I found my style, you know, should I adapt my style to make it contemporary and saleable? And oh my goodness me, I've spoken about that before in other videos. At the end of the day, you will define what's you. You want to develop your style. And if you become great at marketing, then you will sell what you're making. But we're not talking about selling at this point. We're talking about the benefits of doing something day in, day out. And for sure, honing your style is going to come out of, especially by doing a year long practice. So I have a look that I've had probably since I started drawing seriously as a late teen. But I'd like to see where that could go because I'm really interested in stretching this and perhaps going into illustration. So I want to know what could happen if I did a year long practice, you know, with an illustrator kind of thought in my head. So honing a style is definitely a benefit of doing a challenge like this. Of course, trying out lots of different ideas to view that person who has got all these things running around in the head that they'd like to do, then a sketchbook practice is the place for all those ideas. It's perfect, right? Staving off the boredom. Now this might sound strange, but I know myself that sometimes there's a finite period of time that I want to spend on a certain piece. And by doing the time sketches that I love in the sketchbook, there's no chance to get bored. You're constantly on the roll for the next one and the next one and the next day and the next day. So if again you find that you're doing the same sort of thing day in, day out and it's not giving you the creativity and the satisfaction that you're looking for, then staving off the boredom would definitely be a massive benefit for you. What about journaling your life? Now I know there's a bit of a difference between sketchbooking and art journaling, right, in inverted commas.  Journal perhaps has a lot more writing in it. It might even have sort of stuck in, I know, tickets, photos, things, perhaps from your life, from your travels, if you make a travel journal, but there's no reason that you can't mix the two, right, you can still be sketching and write some things about it and just create the book the way that you would like to. For me one of the major benefits is content for social media. How many of you watching are scratching your head, tearing your hair out, saying Sophie, how do I find enough content for my Instagram or Facebook page?   So that leads us on to growth. When you do something over a long period of time we know that you improve, you grow, you're likely going to grow your social media following, you're going to grow your art business as well because likely you won't just be doing that, you'll be making product or you'll be making an income stream, you'll be developing the business. So I would say definitely one of the benefits of doing this is ultimately it is going to grow your art business.  I mean who doesn't want to do that right? So you two can do the same. So number three, let's look at what that might look like for you if you want to join me on this challenge. So the first thing you'll need to do is gather up some empty sketchbooks. Now if you're anything like me you've got a pile, I can't even show you the shelf over there, I have piles of sketchbooks, some of which have things in them, some of which don't have anything in them and some of them have one or two pages at the beginning which is easy enough to tear out and there you have a brand new sketchbook. So one will do a startup but if you have a little pile of them because sometimes I find I want to use a landscape one or a portrait one or a square one depending on what theme or what I'm doing on the day. So sketchbooks number one, number two obviously materials.   Anything that goes kind of easy into a bag or a box and if you're like me you'll be purchasing new things I think they're behind me piles of more pencils and crayons and yummy things but you can start off with what you've got. So number two would be materials. And number three here now you really need to decide how long you're going to do this challenge for. Are you going to match me with my year long challenge and start with me I'm going to start officially on that first of October. Are you going to start them with me or are you going to say do you know what I'm going to try it for 30 days and then I'll have a look how that feels or maybe 60 days or even 90 days. Now for some people initially that seems daunting oh my god I've got to do the same thing for 90 days. We're talking 20 minutes out of your day plus a few minutes to take the photograph. You could say 30 minutes 20 minutes to do your sketch and 10 minutes to take some photo or video and make an instagram post. I mean that's insane right that's crazy. So 30 days 60 days 90 days whatever you're going to do or you could do what I'm going to do which is that 261 days or you could say I'm going to do every single day 365. It doesn't matter choose one and commit to it. Then you just need to block out your your 30 minutes every day right. I think it's a great idea to do it first thing before you get into anything else because otherwise the day can go by and then you haven't done it right but on the other hand if you are an afternoon or an evening person you're created you're most creative then then that's what you're one you're going to do it. So make sure to follow me over on my art Instagram that's Sophie Mahir Art.  I'm also going to share prompts and helps and tips and ideas for those of you that would like to join me on the challenge. So what do you do if you want to join the challenge? Well number one you could either message me below in the comments below this video you can shoot me a direct message on Instagram or you could just start and then I'd love for you to tag me in your post so that I can see what you're doing and you can use this hashtag that I've created specially Sophie Sketch Daily Sophie Sketch Daily not Sophie's sketch just Sophie's sketch daily also that's in the description below and obviously as soon as I start on the first I'll be using that in every single post as well so if you want to save that hashtag and follow that particular hashtag then obviously you'll see all my posts and anybody else who's using that as well kind of exciting right that gives us an opportunity to grow together and of course I would like to know how long you're committing for for your sketchbook challenge so to sum up if you're really looking to improve your own art you really would like to get into a routine with your creative practice you want to grow your social media following and ultimately you want to grow your art business by doing the simple thing of 30 minutes a day doing some sketching then you're in the right place this is the video for you I want to hear from you if you're going to sign up I'm going to sign up I'm going to I want to hear from you that you're committed and how long you're going to do it for don't forget to tag me use those hashtags and of course to look out for more videos are going to be helping you along the way and don't forget to check out this one if you haven't already and that's my sketchbook tour from the first part of my Europe trip this summer for the UK winter for Australia this July and August and the second one is coming along nicely too and once I finish that I'll make a video tour through that book as well all right thank you so much for watching and I'll see you on the next video bye bye


Good morning. Welcome to the Radiant City Center prayer room. It's officially summer. Excited for these long summer days. Time with family and excited to be here this morning with you to pray. I want to open in Psalm 29 if you have your Bibles. Kind of reading from two translations this morning. One from the ESV. It says, Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings. Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory to His name. Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness. New King James it says worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. This morning that we would be fascinated not just in our natural eyes but in the eyes of our heart to look upon the Lord and to see Him for all of His beauty that we would be locked in and attuned and be fully present in this time to bring worship to the Lord. Can we just even close our eyes and and ask the Lord just to even give glimpses even as Isaiah was given a glimpse into the throne room of God and he just saw the train of his robe and he was undone. God we ask Lord today that we would see even just a glimpse of the beauty of your holiness. Let our the eyes of our heart and Ephesians 1 that our eyes would be enlightened to the glorious riches and power that is upon you Jesus that we look at you right now that we would be fascinated undone and fascinated locked in let all the other things fall away and we say there's one thing that we're after today and it's you Jesus and we say it's your holiness and your beauty the beauty just that phrase the beauty of your holiness we lock in we say how wonderful how beautiful how glorious is your holiness you are perfect perfect and we ask Lord that we would be fascinated today undone in the eyes of our hearts of your holiness and the Bible's with you let's open the Psalm 29 we're singing we say Lord surrendered Jesus that you stretched out your own emptied yourself taking the form of the servant and you were the first to go to the lowest place obedience to the father you surrendered Jesus we say today that we would have that spirit among us we ask Lord for that grace upon us to go to low places God we ask Lord for the Isaiah 66 reality of a humble and contrite spirit because you went low highest of places seated at the right hand of the father and so we exalted it is here present given in the holy scripture and it says the voice of the Lord is over the waters here in michigan we have many lakes and when you speak it actually carries over the waters and it's saying that the voice of the Lord reaches and goes to far places in the places it does not seem that it would reach we know that your voice or there's nothing that can stop the voice of the Lord and we honor say that your personally your voice matters to me your voice matters to the body of Christ your church and your voice God we say that it carries strength it carries power and it carries love and we ask Lord that your voice would reach ears God not the itching ears that are looking to hear what it wants to hear we ask Lord that our ears would be surrendered to the voice of the Lord today it carries it comes with power and it comes with strength so Father would your voice be sent forth over many waters over the chaos of our day with the voice of the Lord caring Jesus you even walked over the waters came and you spoke to the disciples and we say would you walk across the waters would your voice carry over the waters would there be a high we say Lord speak and would your servants be listening let our ears be opened and at tunes we give permission to say we want to receive every word that you have to say in this hour there's a high urgency in this day to know the want to hear what you have to say that the mystery of your will would be revealed Ephesians 1 we want to know you we want to know in the name of Jesus God we ask Lord even in this summer season we're in the nighttime there can be rolling thunderstorms and that you would be waking up your church in this dark hour with your voice of thunder God would you wake us up and would we see the light of the world which is Jesus God that you're breaking forth and you're bringing glory do your name and I pray that the voice of the Lord which thunders would it break in and would it break forth in power and in my it is full it's not weak it is full of power it's full of majesty and we ask Lord that your voice with thunder in this day Lord let it break forth God break through break through them the chaos of our day break through the many voices we ask Lord that there would be one voice above them all it's the name and it's the voice of Jesus breaking forth in a dying broken world let the light of Jesus and let the thunder of your voice wake up your church in this hour we pray speaking and let the violent is thunder to wake up the lost the deconstructed the prodigals we say Lord that you would call forth your sons and daughters who may have left the house to find their own way we ask Lord call them back through your voice that you would wake them up God in their sleeping and in their slumber God would you wake up those that have drifted it God we ask Lord that they would be anchored and rooted and grounded in the love of God and we know it is by your voice it's by your voice that draws many unto yourself and we say you will not be silenced you will use any means possible to speak you will use thunder and you will wake us up and God we ask Lord do it we say do it God let your voice break in let no one silence the voice of the Lord God we ask Lord for many to hear to be woken up God let your voice speak a better word where there's brokenness trauma discontent distraction and deceit we pray God that you would speak love truth through might and through power let your voice not be silenced and let it be heard over the waters in the night sky we ask Lord that your voice would be heard in our day we speak over our city Kalamazoo let the voice of the Lord be over our city let it come in power let it come in might let it come in victory we say it in Jesus name let your voice come let it come in might and power strength in Jesus name biblical history that a time when Elijah was battling bail and the God there was a time where you sent forth you sent forth flashes of fire down from heaven to be a sign and a wonder of your great power and we ask Lord in this day where there's many carved images and idols and idolatry in our day in our American western culture we ask Lord that the flashes of heaven of the voice of the Lord God would break down everything that's exalted itself over you we ask Lord that you would be exalted to the highest place over every other carved image and over every heart that wants to be in a form in a posture of idolatry ask Lord that you would break in and God that you would burn it all up and we ask Lord that the fine as it did in Elijah's day God let it come forth in the name of Jesus let it be flashes of fire God that you would burn up the idolatry in our day and that we would see the glory of the Lord and the exaltation of Jesus Christ that you would be set in a story let it be as we go back into a time of worship God we want to be a magnification of Jesus we're going to pick up in Psalms 29 voice the Lord shakes the wilderness the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh in Jesus and in John the Baptist that in the season of the wilderness the voice of the Lord speaking and leading holy spirit is with Jesus is it being tempted in the wilderness and John the Baptist who's out in the wilderness clothed in odd clothing and eating odd things but he has an understanding of who Jesus is and when he crosses his path he has an understanding he says behold that is the Lamb of God and we know in the wilderness there's an opportunity to let all the things fade away and to center on the voice of the Lord so we say in our seasons of wilderness God even led by the Holy Spirit that he would take us in to wilderness seasons so that he might speak to us God I pray that there would not be resistance in our heart to seasons of wilderness that we would be like John the Baptist that he would speak and give understanding of revelation so that when the voice of the Lord breaks through we can say behold and we can talk to many people behold the Lamb of God and we see the pattern in Jesus that he is filled with the revelation of the scriptures that he can come against every temptation of the evil ones we say in seasons and in times of wilderness God would you down look God that we would not be resistant to your voice season to hear what you have to say God we want to have the ears of some revelation and understanding that we might grow in the knowledge of the Lord God speak to us times of wilderness in the name of then suddenly by the voice and the power of your voice things now be waiting and God what was believing what was faith now becomes sight and we ask Lord that by the voice and by the leadership and by the timing of God we last Lord that your voice when many here are waiting on your voice to speak and to go forth and make things that were not yet seen seen we ask Lord that there will be faith in our hearts that once was a pregnancy season it's now a labor season and we ask Lord take the things that are being believed for in many lives heart where we're waiting on the voice of the Lord that your voice what we're waiting on is your voice and your leadership God would it be would it come forth right now in the name of Jesus would a season of waiting be over and when the timeliness we are believing that the voice of the Lord is now and it's for us and I pray those that are waiting would receive that prophetic exhorting encouraging in this season we ask Lord let once was a waiting season be the now word let it come forth prophetic utterances exhortation words from heaven God let it come we ask Lord in Jesus name to the voice of the Lord but statement it says in his temple all created us in his image with the voice and the response is glory the response is yes and amen to the voice of the Lord and I just want to stir up our faith it's our response his voice being received yes and amen and the response is glory so we say in the temple of the Lord and with our voices we just say glory to the Lord high and lifted up glory to you we don't withhold our voice we offer it freely in voluntary response to you God we receive and we say yes and amen and thank to his people may the Lord bless his people with peace and pray for you that you would hear the voice of the Lord


Under ideal conditions, the currents in a telephone circuit, simplexed for telegraph, look like this. Since both sides of the line are alike, this circuit is balanced. The currents in a perfectly balanced phantom group look like this, but in the field, circuits are often unbalanced. Because of this, simplex and phantom circuits produce their own special trouble symptoms, cross-ringing, the most common of all, crosstalk. Major Kurtz, sir, about that raster report. About that raster report. Who the hell's in on this line? These symptoms usually occur in combination. Understanding them will help you to diagnose trouble and tell you which circuits, if any, are still usable. To understand the symptoms, we must first study the causes behind them. Let's take the simple example of a telephone circuit which has been simplexed for telegraph. Suppose the line is accidentally shorted. What happens to the telephone current? Because of the short, it never reaches its destination. The telegraph current, however, follows its normal path. It divides equally and flows along the two line wires. At the short, the two halves of the current oppose each other, and so no current flows through the short. We can see then that the telegraph channel is unaffected by the short, but the telephone channel is useless until the short is cleared. Here is our circuit restored to normal. The resistances of the two line wires are equal. The circuit is balanced. But sometimes, the resistance of one wire is greater than that of the other. A bad splice in one wire can cause this. Now, the circuit is unbalanced. Because of the unequal resistances, ringing current flows through the telegraph sets. But unless the unbalance is great, the amount of diverted ringing current will be too small to actuate the telegraph relays. As usual, telegraph current flows to the midpoint of the winding of the repeating coil. Because of the unequal resistances, however, the current no longer divides equally between the two halves of the winding, and the magnetizing effects of the two currents no longer cancel each other. Thus, current is induced in the other windings of both repeating coils at the beginning and end of each impulse. This produces crossfire interference in the telephone channel. These are called key thumbs. Other than being an annoyance, they do not affect telephone communication. And both ringing and voice current get through without interfering with the telegraph. The extreme condition of this unbalance occurs when one line wire is open. Now, all the telegraph current travels over one wire, and the current induced in the telephone circuit is at a maximum. Telephone signaling is usually still possible, even with the open line wire. The low-frequency ringing current uses the available half winding of each repeating coil, the telegraph sets, and the earth for its path. The ringing signal gets through, and this time it is strong enough to make the telegraph relay's chatter and will cause audible interference in both telegraph sets. The higher-frequency voice currents, however, are choked down by the telegraph sets to too small a value for an audible signal. Since conversation is impossible, the telephone channel is useless until the break is repaired. Another condition which causes interference is an accidental ground on one of the line wires. Part of the telegraph current is diverted by the accidental ground. However, enough generally gets through to operate the other telegraph set. Currents are unbalanced in both repeating coils, and current is induced in both the other windings. Notice that the induced current is greater at the sending end than at the receiving end. When we ring on the telephone channel, some ringing current flows through the near telegraph set, because the lower half of the repeating coil has a shortened path through the accidental ground. This causes an unbalance in the normal ringing path so that a small amount flows through the far telegraph set too. Because of this, the ringing current delivered to the far switchboard is less than normal. Voice current, however, is unaffected. We have seen before that this higher-frequency current cannot travel through a telegraph instrument. Consequently, it follows its normal path. Ordinarily, the telegraph channel is still usable unless the diverted ringing current is strong enough to cause interference. The telephone channel is still okay too, but its quality may be somewhat impaired by key thumps. And like any other grounded circuit, it's apt to be noisy. So much for the simplex. Here is what we have seen so far. When the line is shorted, the telephone channels no good. Graph channels as good as ever. When the resistances of the two line wires become unbalanced, telephone current flows through the telegraph sets. But it's rarely strong enough to interfere with telegraph communication. The telegraph does interfere with the telephone, but not sufficiently to disrupt telephone communication. When one wire is open, telegraph is still okay. Ringing current gets through too, but interferes with the telegraph channel. Voice current is blocked. When one wire is grounded, both channels are generally still usable. Telegraph current is weakened, though, and interferes with the telephone. Ringing current is also weakened and may interfere with the telegraph. Voice current is unaffected. Now for some typical examples showing the effect of line trouble on a phantom group. This phantom group consists of three telephone circuits. Here, telephone ringing and voice currents act alike, so we will confine our demonstration to ringing current only. If one of the side circuits is accidentally shorted, its reaction is the same as a shorted simplex. The ringing current of the faulty circuit never reaches its destination. When we ring on the phantom, however, we can see that it is unaffected, because the two halves of the phantom current are traveling in the same direction. When they reach the short, they buck each other, and no current flows through the short. That is exactly what happened in the telegraph channel of the shorted simplex. The other side circuit is unaffected. The faulty circuit is no good until the short is cleared. It follows that if both side circuits are shorted, both are useless. But the phantom is still okay. Now let's assume that our trouble is an open in one of the side circuits. This is the extreme condition of unbalance. We will ring on the phantom first. The phantom current travels through the unbroken side circuit in the usual way, but in the open side circuit, all the current goes through one wire. This induces current in both the other windings of both repeating coils. In the faulty circuit, it produces interference. Ringing on the faulty side circuit produces a weak current, which finds a return path through the phantom. This causes interference in the phantom. The unbroken side circuit operates as usual. The phantom interferes with the open side circuit, and the open side circuit interferes with the phantom. If we discontinue the use of one, the other will not be subject to interference. Which one should we stop using? Well, transmission in the open side circuit is weak, so we eliminate it. And the phantom will work okay. What happens if both side circuits are open? This one's tricky. For now, both sets of repeating coils are unbalanced. Ringing on either side circuit, we find that current flows through every possible drop in the phantom group. The jack we ring on is, in effect, connected in series to the other five drops. Either side circuit then interferes with both the phantom and the other side circuit. Ringing on the phantom, we find that the current is stronger, but the path is the same. Consequently, the phantom interferes with both side circuits. We've got three circuits interfering with each other. No matter what we ring, we hit the jackpot. We can still use one circuit by eliminating the other two. The phantom is strongest, so we stop using the side circuits. They can't interfere with the phantom if we don't use them. Until the two open side circuits have been cleared, we can at least use the phantom. Here's a very common trouble which also affects all three channels. A cross between the two side circuits. Most of the current originating in the west phantom is confined to the path which has been made by the cross. This heavy current causes strong interference at the west end of both side circuits. Notice, however, that some current gets to the east end of the circuits, giving a weak signal on the phantom and weak interference in both side circuits. Ringing on one of the side circuits, we can see that the current follows a similar path and causes interference in the other two west drops. And here again, the circuits are affected at the east end. We've got three circuits interfering with each other again. But this time, two can be made to work fairly well. If we cut out the phantom connections at both ends, the two side circuits can be used. Actually, we no longer have a phantom group. What we do have is two metallic circuits accidentally crossed and we won't get any more interference between them than is usually caused by this condition. A short on a side circuit affects only that circuit. An open in one wire of a side circuit causes mutual interference between the side circuit and the phantom. When both side circuits are open, all three circuits interfere with each other. And the two side circuits are crossed. All three circuits interfere with each other, especially at the transmitting end. This isn't the whole story. Each of the examples you've just seen has shown only one kind of trouble at a time. Friendly vehicles and troops, unfriendly elements, and enemy action. Bring on combinations of shorts, grounds, opens, and crosses. An understanding of the basic theory, however, will help you handle these combinations yourself.


Good morning. Hi, Ed. Hey, apologies for the confusion. Good morning. Hi, Ed. Hi, guys. All right. Yeah, apologies for the confusion. The new security features we have don't start the meeting until the host joins. To join as the host right now, I have to log into the network service mission account. And for reasons that I do not understand, my personal account was allowed to join. So I was sitting there alone in the room, wondering where everyone was. So we still need to sort out some of the details of all of this to smooth it out. Most particularly, how to let people join if they just have the host key. Because that would then allow us to spread the joining out a little bit more and make it easier on everyone. And then I wouldn't actually have to, let me rename myself here, log into this account to come in. So good morning. How are you guys? Yep. Yep, I'm fine. How are you? I am feeling triumphant this morning.  Awesome. So let's see. Shall we get going then? Let me see if I can bring up the, so I guess the question is, so like what things do you guys need at this point? So I know Denise, you need to put a couple of questions asked answered by me from BL3. And I've noted those. And now that I've fixed my head up to go, I think I'll go, probably get to those fairly shortly. Anything else that you guys need? Probably to look at few progress into SDK. From my side, mostly. And that's all. Okay. Apologies, I've fallen a bit behind. Let me take a look and see. Yeah. There are definitely some that are falling behind. I'll go catch up on that this morning as well. Cool. I will point out, go have a look. I know I sent most of you this morning the to-go stuff. Go look at to-go. It will allow us to have extremely clean and developer friendly Docker files. So basically we can have Docker files that look like we're just doing normal ghost stuff. But number one, the caches will always be warm. And number two, if we have local replaced directives, those will also work inside the Docker container that we built. Which makes development tractable. Nice. You look. Yeah. Ended up being a bone simple approach. Awesome. So anything else this morning? Otherwise I'm inclined to yield back the time and we'll meet up with the community meeting at the top of the R. Mostly I'm okay. Just you, SDK for requests. I would like if somebody will look. One is to slightly modify aspire stuff to allow temporary folder. And registration to temporary folder. Also it allowed to use it. For example on Mac OS if aspire agent and aspire servers compiled. Okay. So it's possible to use locally all the tests instead of running into the Docker. Yep. And few more. You know, it's the kind of stuff. At the moment I'm working on integration and call back stuff into SDK. So probably we'll create a pull request tomorrow and integrate all of this stuff into send the manager application repo. Excellent. Cool. All right. Anything else? Just few probably questions. Interesting. Related to registration of the end points. At the moment I have doing allow to specify few a listing on your eyes to send them NS manager. And for any TCP ones plan to do a register of NS manager into a registry. And interesting question if we pass multiple TCP address to listing on. For example, we could specify few different IP address to listing on. Potentially it could be interesting. And do we need or do few times do register into registry with different IPs. I think we do. And interesting question for end points in this case because end points bind to one NS manager by its public IP, public IP address at some moment in the registry and what to do in this case because it's still one end point but potentially it's as above as two public addresses. Okay. I see your point there. So effectively a choice has to be made about which address to register on with the registry. And so my baseline point is the address you used to register with the registry may actually just effectively the way we traditionally been doing it is that you run your because you're running on a pod normally you normally have just the one pod IP address available to you. And so it's not really but an issue. You know, effectively we don't even we don't advertise based on where we're listening we advertise the pod IP key. Right? Because that's where, because it's not where you're listening to matters it's where you can be reached. Yeah. For a moment I could just limit for example to be one or two connections and if user pass two, it should be Unix and the TCP for example. Yep. And the TCP on will be used it for a public and more interesting question here at the moment in Manarepa for a public IP we do not register registry GPC service and some other services. So it's possible to register in point only with Unix socket. Do we plan to have a similar approach a new version I think? And if you- Yeah, I think essentially it comes under a question of policy, which is effectively if you're a network service manager as a matter of policy, you're only accepting incoming registration requests from a Unix socket as a matter of policy. Yeah, okay. Sounds good. It's definitely an interesting question. And the thing is by moving into policy it makes the code more generically applicable outside of the community space where you may have different kinds of behavior going on. Yeah. If policy it sounds good to me. All right. Yeah, cool. Okay, in this case. Anything else? All right, we'll see you guys later. Yes, I'm sorry. Please, please go ahead. I can't provide my status if you don't mind. Oh, that's marvelous. Please do. Oh, okay. Currently I'm working in VAL3 NSEe direction. In detail, in first I have provided VAL3 staff requirements diagram. Oh, yes. Let me show the screen. Yep. And also I can put a link into the chat. If you have any questions or thoughts you are welcome. Okay, let's see. Are you seeing the screen? Yeah, it looks like you're talking about, is this a diagram of? Yes, it's a diagram of VAL3 staff requirements. And currently I'm working on a VAL3 I working on memory registry elements because of we need to somehow test, for example, on some manager. We didn't remember register chain element for registry is completely brilliant because yes, you can use that for very localized testing. Cool. Yes. And I will have provide power tomorrow for this chain elements. Also I have prepared diagram for VAL3 interaction, diagram of interaction. Let me show it. I have provided also the issue into SDK repository. And currently this issue is blocked. You can see this by this diagram. Yep. And here I have provided simple diagram of interaction. It is not final variant. You can take a look and provide your source or source. This is excellent. I apologize. I've been hyper focused on code in the last week. I will definitely go get through this. And I would encourage other people to go take a look at it as well. Cause this is excellent work to sort of sketch out where we're going with the VAL3 staff. Cool. And mostly that's it. I just focus it on, memory chain elements for registry. And that's it. Cool. Now the memory registry stuff should make a bunch of testing that things easier. Awesome. All right. Talk to you guys at the top of the arrow.
