- Reviewed the basics of GitHub
- Continued to review Python
- Examined crime data and the various ways it was made publically available
Day 4 (6/2)
- Moved mentor meeting to Wednesday due to scheduling issue

- Posted rough, pre-discussion milestones
Week Two (6/5 - 6/9)
Day 1 (6/5)
- Refined K-means implementation with the K-means++ seeding described in the Data Science Lab article
- Experimented with visual plotting of the algorithm using Seaborn and Matplotlib
Day 2 (6/6)
- Attended RCR training
- Finished reading the relevant sections of Algorithms for Clustering Data
