What to expect on your second day of Launchcode LC101

The second day of Launchcode, I got there 30 minutes early to get a good parking spot.  I took a 15-minute nap before I went end.  The environment inside was a lot more chill with people everywhere.  This open space holds many people.  Promptly at 5:30p, lecture starts with everyone with a laptop, listening to Will Farrell typing away.  After about an hour of that, we break off into groups, but today we don't do a coding studio exercise, we do power poses and set goals for success.  Later we get our mascot drawing that we made on the first day of class.  One person from each group has to present it to the entire room.  My group is the codingCrustaceans with a mascot of a Mantis shrimp.  When we presented it, the room roared with belly laughs at our name and/or our drawing.  The engagement managers and the teaching fellows dug in deeper by saying the no one in the Launchcode staff knew what our drawing was, with some thinking it was an alien.  Whatever!  It doesn't matter what they think of the codingCrustaceans, we are going to code our heart out.  After everyone presented their mascots, there were closing remarks by Nick and we went home at 8:30pm 1 week down and 19 more to go.
