Good evening 🌕
A blessed Friday. May it bring us all fortune.

How are you? How’s your health?

I’ve been busy with university lessons and assignments these past days. The teacher sends lessons in video format, which is impractical when all the students have limited access to the internet and to electricity. It’s been cloudy, solar panels aren’t working well, it’s truly annoying.

But I really want to be an engineer.

I’m hungry 😞
