I have not had a chance to write a post for Day 3, so I am going to combine Day 3 into the same post with Day 4.

I believe today was a more typical day at Metis. It all started with a “pair problem” exercise. A pair problem is the one you work on in… pairs! Every day you are assigned a new classmate to work with during this time. The work involves solving some problem using Python and submitting it to our special #pairs channel in Slack. My partner and I were pretty quick about it and managed to submit it first (Not that anybody is counting… :smirk: But seriously, it wasn’t graded. :laughing:). After every pair of students submitted their answers, we then took a look at various different ways students attempted solving the problem. As they say, there are many ways to skin the cat, which especially applies to coding.

Today was my first day of Metis Data Science Bootcamp. Having moved form California to New Jersey for this opportunity just a day ago, I felt a little bit jet-lagged (3-hour difference means you think you still have 3 hours of sleep, but you don’t) and tired. My commute from New Jersey to Metis in New York City was smooth and I found the WeWork building (the space where Metis is) pretty easily just a short and splendid walk away from the NYC Penn Station.
