Overview

The first two days were focused on laying foundations: watching two videos on vectors from 3Blue1Brown and tackling LeetCode problems 217, 242, 1, 347, 128, 74, 704, and 153. I didn’t approach them with full integrity—after getting stuck, I looked at hints or solutions. My plan is to revisit each problem later without shortcuts; this will be my metric for real progress. Linear and multiple regression also received attention, covering the technical side.

Personal Reflection

Last night reminded me how fragile control can feel. I hit a near‑breaking point but managed to hold it together. I’m adopting a new perspective on life: not to succeed flawlessly, but to keep moving, keep observing, and keep recalibrating even if I stumble. The real experiment starts tomorrow, both with code and with myself.
