Hello friends!
Hope you're having a good week so far! I've been dealing with some funky bugs this week, which have given me plenty of highs and lows. Onward!

Something that interested me this week
Lately, I've been hand-writing out my notes and tasks more and more. It's been really helping me stay on track, and remember what I need to do. In doing this, I realized that most of my notebooks are kind of flimsy, and I have to go through them to see if I need to keep any sheets of paper or if I should just recycle them after I use them up. I wanted to get some kind of high-quality binder, but they tend to be pretty expensive. So, after some brainstorming, I decided to make myself a binder with my Dremel laser cutter out of leather!
After scribbling out a bunch of math for the sizes and widths of everything (some of you might remember I was
asking about notebook paper holes on Twitter), I
streamed making my binder and I am SO happy with
the result! The binder can fit any standard loose-leaf paper, so I can add paper as I go and recycle sheets I no longer need over time. Plus, it's really easily rollable, so I've been able to roll it up in my bags and carry it easily without worrying about if it bends too much. It was a really fun project! I'm considering putting it on Etsy or something for those who want to get one of their own. If you'd be interested, let me know!Â

Interview question of the week
Last week, I had you make a palindrome!Â
Dimitris,
Andres, and
Kyle gave great answers. :)
This week's question:
Given an array of integers, return the index of the first value you should remove to make the array sum an odd number (return -1 if sum is already odd or if it's impossible).
Example:
> removeForOdd([2,4,6,7,8])
> -1
> removeForOdd([4,4,4])
> -1
> removeForOdd([1,2,3,4,5,6,7])
> 0

I can't believe I got fired from the calendar factory. All I did was take a day off!

That's all for now, folks! Have a good week. Be safe, make good choices, and don't be afraid of difficult conversations.
