Already in the middle of the journey.

Its surprising how time flies, so sad half of the journey has pass already.😞😞 I can still remember how at the beginning of this internship I could not even understand what putting an extension in a PHP namespace means. Now I realize how obvious the statement implies its meaning😃. Being at the middle of my internship, to be sincere I feel like having to work with my mentors, and some other developers on IRC that usually help me is an awesome experience. I just feel like " am not gonna leave open source, never-never ". Its really exiting. My project as well has gone half way and currently finishing the 3rd task out of 6. This task has given me some serious challenges in the sense of: Limited time. Some confusion on what exactly I am suppose to do. Limited resources as I experienced a lot of electricity shortdown, that could last for up to 12 hrs. In the task in question I have to change all the $target  variables passed as arrays to objects.

Four weeks left

Time is an illusion.  Albert Einstein I am running out of time😢😢. Four weeks left and I have not yet done up to 3/4 of my project. Oh! God I need divine intervention. And yesterday my mentor added a little task for me to do aside the project. Funny right! Yeah it's not. But it is very exciting because more work is more to learn 😣😜. I have stalled the task I was working on from my previous post and started a new one that I completed. Will be going back soon for that tough task😭😭  Working on the fourth/six task I hope to be done with it by the end of this week latest. I am kind of really behind. I am sorry for my mentors because I won't let them rest this coming days😂😂 I got to finish two tasks before my next post. Stay tuned for futher updates :). Let hope the story ends well.

Next Move!!

The next move requires no past mistakes to be done. I am getting to the 5th week of the journey and the more time goes the more the work becomes more and more serious. From the few weeks that have gone already, I have improve on my organisational skills and have learnt how to push  work fast enough to meet with datelines. For the next move I am also taking the next task. My work is divided into six tasks as per my timeline and am on the second now 😟. I have to press the acceleration button if I want to meet with datelines but that's not a big deal when you have mentors like mine. Since coding started I keep on learning. I become more comfortable with the code base and I think accelerating things a bit will not harm and instead help. Let see in one week time what the output will be :).
