After today's experience in class, I was slightly frustrated with the syntax errors I kept receiving, but I finally got my Turtle program working! I definitely wouldn't say that the experience was all bad; simply trial-and-error (as the case usually is with coding!). As a result, I was able to learn more about what Python likes and doesn't like. I realize that it is important to note when an ellipsis (ie. ...) occurs and when it shows a set of arrows (ie. >>>). I'm not sure if I'm using the correct technology here, but the ellipsis seems to continue a statement and the set of arrows implies that a new statement is being created.
I played with my Turtle code in python for some time, just trying to get a feel for the code and what different parameters would do. Here is the code that I came up with:
import turtle
timothy = turtle.Turtle()
for color in ['red', 'blue', 'green', 'yellow']:
timothy.color("blue")
timothy.forward(80)
timothy.left(120)
timothy.forward(80)
timothy.left(120)
timothy.forward(80)
timothy.left(120)
caleb = turtle.Turtle()
caleb.shape("turtle")
caleb.color("red")
caleb.left(45)
caleb.forward(50)
sam = turtle.Turtle()
sam.shape("turtle")
sam.color("orange")
sam.forward(80)
corrinne = turtle.Turtle()
corrinne.shape("turtle")
corrinne.color("yellow")
corrinne.right(50)
corrinne.forward(70)
sephy = turtle.Turtle()
sephy.shape("turtle")
sephy.color("green")
sephy forward(50)
turtle.done()
I really wanted to make some actual turtles appear (they're so cute!), so I found some code to do so! You'll see that I have four colorful turtles coming out from the corner of their triangle. Here's a screenshot of the result: 
I found my code from the following web resource: Hello, little turtles!
