Day 31 of improving my Data Science skills

One thought kept crossing my mind today: How many things look simple… until you actually try to understand what's underneath?
That was my mood as I settled into my space and started learning.

Me in my perfect environment
I spent time customizing my plots, changing labels, adding markers, and titles until the visuals actually said something. It reminded me that data isn't just numbers..

Customizing plots
I also worked through exercises pulling HTML pages using the Requests package. Seeing raw web content arrive in my editor felt oddly grounding, like peeking behind the curtain before any importing magic begins.

Importing files using Request package
Then there were flat files. Simple. Unflashy. Powerful. The kind of files that quietly hold together so much of data science work, easy to share, easy to load, easy to overlook until you truly understand why they matter.
Nothing about today felt rushed. Nothing felt forced.
Just small, steady moments of understanding stacking up.
Tomorrow, I'll keep building on this. More curiosity. More exercises. More implementation.
