Hey @Derek Graham Chema (https://teamtreehouse.com/derekgrahamchema) ! :wave:
Since you already have time imported, you can simply add a time.sleep() call adding in a number of seconds in the parenthesis wherever you'd like a pause in your script. You can read more about it here (https://realpython.com/python-sleep/)
