Working on a single project over the course of the semester is one of my favorite ways to implement what I’ve learned and critique how much further I’d like my skills to come.

Circling back to project two. I got this project around when I started at mow, but was so overwhelmed and befuddled that I decided to wait for more info before I started it. So, what is this about?
