+
+## A Blog-style Retrospective
+
+This week I implemented the Symbol Table and integrated it with the Memory Module to manage variable scopes and dependencies effectively. This was a crucial step in preparing for the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST)-to-Intermediate Representation (IR) compilation logic, ensuring that our program engine can handle variable resolution correctly during the translation process.
+
+---
+
+## Goals for This Week
+
+- Design the Symbol Table.  
+- Implement the Symbol Table in the Memory Module.  
+---
+
+## This Week's Highlights
+
+1. **Symbol Table Design and Implementation**  
+   - Designed the Symbol Table to manage variable scopes and dependencies effectively.
+   - Integrated the Symbol Table with the Memory Module to ensure proper variable resolution during AST-to-IR translation.
+   - Documented the design and usage patterns for future reference.
+
+---
+
+## Challenges & Solutions
+
+- **Managing Variable Scopes:**  
+  Initially faced challenges in ensuring that variable scopes were correctly maintained across different blocks of code.  
+  *Solution:* Implemented a robust Symbol Table that tracks variable declarations and their scopes, allowing for accurate resolution during the AST-to-IR translation.  
+
+
+---
+
+## Key Learnings
+
+- Gained a deeper understanding of how to manage variable scopes and dependencies in a compiler context.  
+- Learned how to design and implement a Symbol Table that integrates with the Memory Module to facilitate variable resolution during the AST-to-IR translation process.  
+
+---
+
+## Next Week's Roadmap
+
+- Start working on the execution engine that will interpret the generated IR instructions.  
+- Begin implementing the first set of IR instructions.

+## Acknowledgments
+
+Special thanks to my mentors Anindya, Sumit, Devin, and Walter for their crucial guidance on compiler design principles and static compilation concepts. Their clarification on the AST-to-IR translation approach and emphasis on maintaining clean instruction generation patterns was essential for this week's successful progress.
