OK I finally got around to watching the vid and I’ve just been doing the top layer over and over again until its second nature. Once I get that I’ll move my way down. This stupid cube feels so stiff though. ---

Got all the algorithms memorized up to the last layer, it’s actually pretty cool thing to do while you’re just sitting around! I could have already had everything if I was working towards it but I only pick up the cube when I think about it, haha. I’ve been doing the first two layers over and over and over again, I’m going to start learning the final layer today. ---
