So today I had my first Code Review and Project Progress session with my mentor, Shweta. It started around 1200 hrs, right on time. I had done my homework by making a list of things I wanted to ask her.
I got up early this morning and was ready by 1130 hrs as I was very excited and at the same time nervous because it was the first time we were to have a discussion after I actually stated working on my project. I opened my laptop and made everything ready in case she needed a demo of what I have done till know.
Right at five minutes to 1200 hrs, I went to the private event page which I had created on hangout and joined it. She was there within a minute. We started off casually asking how is everything etc. Initially after we started, there was some net problem so we were having difficulty in chatting but it went on smoothly later on. Just after we started she told me that she really liked my documentation work which made me very happy because I had really worked on it.
I told her what I have completed till now, what I plan to do next and cleared out my doubts(not looking at the paper I had last night :P and nothing in sequence). I just went with the flow of our conversation. I had planned to ask her things in a sequence but that never happened because after a while I was so comfortable that I didn't need any paper. We also had a discussion on the meetup mockup that Shaifali had prepared and on the codes which I wrote. She gave me few advice for improvements and also to enjoy at times with work :P. She also shared her experience from last year as she was also a Student Developer on the same project.
She was happy with my overall performance. I am really happy to have a mentor like Shweta. Her experience really helps me at times on this project and I think I have an advantage of having her as my mentor :)
Then we ended the session saying bye to each other and she asked me to see a movie. So today I am officially on leave :P.
I hope after this project is over she remembers me as the student who did good work :)
