Time to Fix Things


So last week I had to take a break because I had some family issues to take care of and the internship was at a standstill because I was unable to get in touch with my on-site mentor. The thing with my internship is that I basically have full freedom to do the necessary tasks assigned to me at any time I wish to do them. Its as if I have a work from home job. Basically, I do not have a specific location that I need to work at unless I have to go meet with the mentor. So, last week when I had finished the main part of my training, which was reading all assigned chapters on computer hardware in the Computer Networks book, I had to call my internship mentor so that she can tell me my next training assignment. After emails, phone calls, and voicemails I could not get in touch with her. So, I decided to worry about the situation next week because I already asked for this week off. I had some family problems in which my parents and I were deciding if it would better for us to go to India and take care of the situation there.




Going back to the internship, I am still unable to get in touch with my on-site mentor which is a big problem considering the internship had a rocky start. (I basically did not know if I could do the senior project since my first internship had to be canceled due to circumstance out of my control and this internship I did find had problems because the start-up company had financial problems that needed to be taken care of first.) The reason I decided to post today instead of at the end of this week is to verify what my plan will be for this week considering the situation. First order of business is to speak to my school adviser about what I can do for the next part of training. I am hoping that my adviser will have some ideas considering that the on-site mentor has not given me some tasks for this week. I want to start leaning how to make apps using Swift. However, if I cannot run the idea with my on-site mentor, I hope adviser can shed some light on the situation. 

Check back on Sunday for more details. In the meantime enjoy this gif.
