+## 2023-05-15, Monday
+
+This morning I moved the tables and chairs back where they belong, and put
+away every tool that I used. It's been exactly two months since this
+journal began, and it's finally coming to an end. I believe it's time for
+some reflections like I always do post-workshop.
+
+### What did I do right?
+
+- I began early (or, in other words, I prepared for way too long)
+- I bought most things with redundancy in mind
+- I designed a poster
+- I did it myself and proved it was possible
+- I showed my friends how to do it and now they can help me
+- I felt confident throughout the workshop
+
+### Who should I be thankful for?
+
+- Whoever funded this hackerspace and the ones who run it
+- My friends at TechJI for the help
+- My parents for their money
+- Kliment for the idea, design files, and help
+- Every delivery person who sent my packages
+
+### How did this workshop help me mature?
+
+- I fulfilled a dream since 2019
+- I learned to communicate with corporate sales, and to be shameless
+ around them
+- I even made one (1) phone call, even though it didn't help
+- I have killed my fear of reflow soldering
+
+### What can be improved?
+
+- When I said I ordered things with redundancy in mind, that does not
+ include the LEDs
+- I FORGOR MY BAG 💀
+- Sunday session went overtime due to ORS (Obsessive Reworking Syndrome)
+- Should have used email to organize a bunch of people I don't know
+- Should not have trusted WeChat for any purpose
+
+People have expressed wishes for more sessions in the future. Indeed, if
+I were rejected by someone else, I'd be sad. Sadly this is not likely,
+because (1) we've run out of chips, and (2) it is an extremely
+time-consuming workshop (only next to keyboards). More people = more
+inspections = more hotplate runs = more manual fixes. I would very much
+like to take a break from workshops.
