What a great way to start the newsletter and the semester!

You are going in with all the right intentions and questions for yourself. You are on a quest to rediscover yourself. You will make mistakes, need some days to recollect your thoughts, have moments of epiphanies, and even feel like you need to try something new. But it looks like you are already aware and more than prepared to deal with it.

The questions that you are asking yourself at this stage shows how much ahead of the curve you already are. Continue to have that same faith in yourself in the months to come and I am sure that you will get closer to your goal than ever before.

By taking a gap semester, you are showing how serious you are about this project and how much you confidence you have in yourself. I truly believe that you possess everything that you need to make the Squirrel a reality. You will learn all that you need to and meet all the right people along the way. With this mindset, there is nothing that can stand in your way.

Keep tinkering and innovating. We will always be here to help in any way we can.

Break a leg, Mr. Xu! (or "Make a leg", to be more accurate)

Team Pintobotics for the win!!!!

Thanks a lot Aaryaman! This wouldn’t be happening without you and Juan David, that trip to SF was an inspiration

“Stiff glass door.” What a line. You truly are talented.

I am so so happy you’ll be working on this. I’m also blown away by your courage, commitment, and progress on the project so far.

I don’t need to tell you this because you already know but more than happy to set up an accountability system between you and Aaryaman and I. We want to finish the project we told you about and if it would help, we can have a weekly walk or call or whatever you want.

Chris, I’m really excited and get really inspired by what you’re doing. I know you will bring PintoBean to life before the semester ends or at least a very close relative haha.

Take care!!

Also life drawing was the term I couldn’t remember last time we talked.
