Reassigning a Variable

A variable can be given a new value later — this is called reassigning it. The old value is simply forgotten:

mood = "sleepy"
print(mood)
mood = "excited"
print(mood)

This prints:

sleepy
excited

Your turn: read a word from input, store it in a variable called mood, and print it. Then reassign mood to the word thrilled and print it again.
