13:33 “For beginners, ‘over-intelligent’ tools are often the biggest obstacle to learning.”

Since I am using a “cleaned-up” tutorial, I shouldn’t obsess over the missing ‘X’ in the exercise. The core purpose of Lesson 1.4 is simply to learn how to use i to append missing characters. As long as I identify where a line is missing text and manually complete it, I’ve achieved the goal of the exercise.

Afternoon

I headed to the Edmonton Public Library (EPL) before sunset. The library is beautiful, though it was actually a bit crowded. I definitely plan to spend more time there in the future.

After leaving the library, I dropped by the bun shop next door. I picked up a box of buns but momentarily forgot to pay. The cashier got very angry with me, even though I had only just turned around and hadn’t even taken a single step away. I apologized to her, but I really didn’t appreciate her attitude.

I suspect that similar things must have happened to her before, which might explain why she reacted so poorly.
