🌱 What Today Was Like
So I finally started.
This is Day 1 of the 500-day prep I’ve committed to — to become the best in my class, land a top placement, and be genuinely proud of what I’ve built by the end of it.

<p>So I finally started.</p>
<p>This is Day 1 of the 500-day prep I’ve committed to — to become the best in my class, land a top placement, and be genuinely proud of what I’ve built by the end of it.</p>
<p>Honestly? Today didn’t go the way I imagined it in my head.<br />I had planned to:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Finish Day 11 of Angela Yu’s Python course</p>
</li>
<li><p>Do some serious SQL practice</p>
</li>
<li><p>Maybe even draft a blog post (which I'm finally doing now)</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>But what really happened:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>I completed <strong>Day 10</strong> of the Python course</p>
</li>
<li><p>Watched <strong>2 lectures</strong> of Day 11</p>
</li>
<li><p>✅ Practiced SQL as I said I would</p>
</li>
<li><p>❌ Got distracted and ended up sleeping after lunch</p>
</li>
<li><p>❌ Power cuts didn’t help either</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Could’ve done better. I know that. But the win?<br /><strong>I didn’t skip. I didn’t avoid. I showed up.</strong></p>
