-I had my first day of uni in quite a while. For my class in descriptive statistics, I used my drawing tablet to take notes in Krita, which also proved excellent for doodling. This drawing was inspired by my lecturer, in good faith, saying: "there's male and female, but there's also diverse, which is a lot of genders, well I actually don't know how many".
-
-I also noticed that my drawing tablet's hinge broke!! It's very frustrating, though I can fortunately still use it, just without the ability to adjust it (it's just stuck on the max angle).

+I disassembled my Switch because I wanted to check whether the battery was swollen inside. It's had some battery issues (although they seem to have gone away lately). During reassembly, I put too much force on the SD card reader and broke it. Ordered a new part, replaced it, but turns out I broke the board-side connector too. It doesn't grip the ribbon cable like it should. Squishing some cardboard in there to keep the cable connected and level with the board helped. I was worried it would fail, but it's been a couple of days now and it still works flawlessly. Just in time, too; I started playing the new Tomodachi Life and need the storage for all the screenshots and videos I'm capturing.
+
+I also decided to tackle my 2011 3DS again. It broke in 2018: I was playing Super Mario Maker on the couch when it suddenly made a pop sound and turned off. When I disassembled it, I found that not only have I left the 3DS in a dismal state the last time I opened it -- most of the cables weren't even connected, not to mention the missing Y button, the removed battery due to swelling and the broken shoulder buttons --, but the ribbon cable connecting the speakers and top screen backlight had a *tear!* Finally, I knew what the problem may be!
+
+I ordered a replacement cable and tackled the most challenging task imaginable when repairing a 3DS -- threading a cable through the hinge. It's a miracle I didn't destroy another cable in the process. I also replaced the Y button with a 3D printed one I quickly designed in FreeCAD. It works fine enough.
+
+The 3DS works again!! It's been 8 years since it last booted!! I unfortunately don't have its SD card anymore, so the data is gone, but the system works! Truly a miracle.
+
+Only thing left to do now is to fix the [USB-C port on my New 3DS](/projects/electronics/3ds-usb-c/)... it stopped accepting C-to-C connections, although A-to-C still works. Probably just need to resolder or replace the 5.1kΩ resistor.

-Back in January, I was thinking to myself that I'd really like to learn to draw. It would have some practical benefits like potentially being able to draw concept art for my game, but ultimately I just liked the idea of drawing as a hobby. I doodled a few small things before deciding that I should challenge myself to draw something every single day for an entire month (4 weeks); I documented the entire thing, but spoiler alert: I think I succeeded in learning to draw and I am now able to sketch things I was never able to before!
-
-Here are some of my favourite drawings from around that time, in chronological order:
