3. From Variables, place a set to block and change it to sadAnimationTime and set the number to 2.
4. From Control, place a repeat until block.
5. From Operators, place a < block inside the repeat until block.
6. From Variables, place a round sadAnimationTime block to the left of the < block and set the right side to 1.
