Hi there! Grats on finishing the box challenge! I can see a great deal of improvement over the set.
One of the issues I see is that your lines are a tad wobbly at times, don't forget that in these drawabox exericses a wobbly line will always be worse than a confident line, no matter how accurate the wobbly line is, so don't forget to always draw confidently.
Another is the inner corner, which you're having trouble with. It's completely normal, but check this order of drawing boxes, and give a look at this diagram. Thinking about the relationship of all lines instead of thinking on pairs will help a lot on making the guesses of the lines better, inner corner included. Give it a read.
Overall like I said pretty good job. Just as a last thing, don't be afraid of filling the page with big boxes, it doesn't matter if the convergence lines touch other boxes.
Next Steps:
Congratulations on finishing lesson the box challenge! Your next step is lesson 2
As I marked this as complete, you are now qualified to critique lesson 1 and box challenge submissions.
-Doing critiques is a way of learning and solidifying concepts. I can atest to that after having done hundreds of critiques. There are a lot of concepts that I did not understand, and thanks to critiquing I started understanding them. Which made me learn a lot more through the course.
-Another thing is that as the number of current submissions is super high, if you critique some critiques, those would be less critiques I'd have to critique before reaching your next submissions, so you'd get your critiques faster. Uncomfortable also implemented a system that makes your submissions appear higher in the queue if you do critiques, so that would improve your chances even more.
It's totally optional of course, I won't force anyone to give critiques. But me and the other people who are critiquing would be super grateful if you gave it a shot.
Good luck on lesson 2, and keep up the good work!
NOTE: here's a quick guide on critiquing lesson 1 submissions.
and here's another on critiquing box challenge submissions.
There are a few people that feel hesitant to critique because they feel they aren't ready to it so hopefully it'll help you in case you are one of those people.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
