Today in Shodor I learn about agent sheets, and we fix the Vensim
problem from last week. I would probably use agent sheets to represent my model
that is due when we come back. I was very proud about the fact that we fix our
vensim problem from last week. I also learn about a 3d modeling program call Agent
Cube which I thought was pretty cool;it kinda reminded me of a playstation game.
That is all for today.

Today in Shodor the first thing we did at Shodor was we learn about
business ethics. Then Joel taught us how to use terminal and the SSH system so we

in c instead of HTML, and in order to run in you must use terminal. I am most
proud of the fact that I was able to learn a lot more about Excel, and I also
learn that I need to work on Vensim because I forgot how to use it.I hope to learn
more about programming in C. Phil help me with the Excel model, and I learn about
