It's been an interesting week. We had 9 tornados touch down in my state. Two of them went and trashed some of the poorer neighborhoods in my city. I can only hope those affected have insurance but I know that's unlikely. It's sad to see but interesting on some level since I have never seen a natural disaster before.

There is fundraising and community out reach going on. I'm not sure how to get myself involved. The only option I've seen for me to contribute is donation and that is not viable right now. It is encouraging to see the community come together.

In my personal life I have had a productive week. I have started my apprentice jeweler position. I'm gonna be broke and pretty much just polishing and rhodium plating rings for the foreseeable future. That's alright with me though, I am grateful to get my foot in the door and willing to put in the time to earn my education.

In my free time I have been working through jewelry design tutorials for the CAD program Rhino. Ive been playing with design ideas to start a small side hustle dropshipping the jewelry I design. That is until I get the skills and equipment to do more technical pieces/interesting pieces at home. Rhino is also one of the industry standards so perhaps that will come in handy later on as well. Hoping to have CAD design and bench work under my belt and become an unstoppable creative force Haha.

All in all things seem to be moving in the right direction. Hope everyone is happy and productive until the next pubski.
