Hour 21-25

As i drove over to my mentors house, i was quite excited that i was finally supposed to be able to learn about the LDAP program and how to create my own data. When i arrived, i booted up my laptop and opened the program my mentor had asked me to download. We first tried connecting to a local host network that would be able to run independently through my laptop without the need of an outside network. Sadly, problems did occur. My mentor had overlooked the fact that my operating System, Windows, was not like the ones at her work or her laptop, Unix. We couldn't directly work on the program the same way she could at her work laptop because the setup of the program is much different and wasn't really meant for use on a Windows computer. We spent a majority of the time trying to Google ways to make the program run so i could at least try and create my own sort of data bases. After countless downloads and installs of various programs that she thought would help, we came to no success. She told me that yet again, she would be leaving on another business trip to Europe to go work on the data bases abroad and that she would not be able to return until the 22nd of May. She told me that when she returned that if i liked, we could meet up again and try to sort out this problem so that i could actually present something physically when it came to my final presentation date in front of the judges. I told her that we could try and do that but, i wasn't so sure if changing my whole presentation after presenting to my teacher would be a good idea since my teacher would be giving me feedback on what i need to do in order to improve my presentation. For the next hour or so, we just sat and talked about the overall gist of how i was doing so far on the project. I told her how i did on my essay and i let her read it. she thought it was a really good paper and it was nice for her to see young people taking an interest in technology that doesn't only include social media. She felt really bad that she wasn't able to show me how to create data bases but i assured her that it was not something to be sad about. Hopefully i will be able to meet with her when she gets back so i can finally learn how her field of work actually is. Who knows, maybe ill find a way to incorporate it into my final presentation for all the judges to see!
