Terminals...

Okay...
Today, our lesson mainly was on how to create, rename, copy and delete a directory, as well as a file through the use of the terminal.
It was fun to learn such things because while I am trying to apply it, I don't know what might happen and once i'm done, it was great.
One of the tricky part is to change a directory because sometimes it needs more specific things; like the symbol ~ (tilde)and a slash (/). It was fun(?) to guess on how to make that "on one command..." trigger stuff... Did I succeed?.. Maybe yes, maybe no... All that matters now is that I'm done with that.

What else can I say... It was fun... Fun...
