I miss Tech!

Okay, so I really miss Tech these days ever since our last block date Ive just missed the feeling of being a student again and to just have some free time in between work, probably because all the students are on holiday now and Im still coming to work day in and day out. Dont get me wrong, I do enjoy working but I miss the atmosphere at Tech for sure.

So last week was quite interesting. I went with Lisa and a few others to handover proceedings of a project that Im busy on for the second phase. Lisa was principal architect for the first phase of the project and invited me along to the event which was really quite an honour as the Mayor, Patricia De Lille was ther as well as the minister of transport and public works and a few others.
Great experience!

So much work was put into the event as the army band was there, playing amazingly. There was so much food and proceedings in place as the builing was being handed over to the people by the City.
Ive attached some pictures below for you to see how it went:

Tiring week

This week is going by extremely slowly. I feel like the days are longer, much longer and I feel exhausted. Also I think the fact that I miss Tech is contributing to this.
I really enjoyed last week being back at Tech, feeling like a student again and seeing my friends. Im also really relieved that the Hub presentation is over and am really glad that mine went well and that I could communicate my design across to the audience successfully.

I havent doen much at work this week as Lisa has been sick and off for most of the week. Site visits are every second week for me so next week will be my next meeting as I was not present last week to attend.
I was able to print all my drawings and online portfolio out nicely for our PSS submission yesterday. After that Lisa briefed me on doing some quick ammendments of plans to be resubmitted to council.

Some exciting news is that we have had 4 students joining us this week, which lifts the spirit of the office.
Never thought I'd be saying this but I really miss being at Tech, I love working but when it starts to feel permanent, thats when I miss being a student

anyways its almost the end of the week again so thank goodness for that, really looking forward to doing nothing this weekend and relaxing a bit

Ciao

Crazy dayz

Wow, my head has been in so many places this past week that I even forgot to blog about it!

Firstly, Ive been trying to do as much work as possible for my hub project for Tech to ensure that I could d be done with atleast 90% of the work for the past submission on the 28 May. Gladly, I know that I have and I feel good about the work that Ive included in the presentation. I even built my presentation model by hand which became gruelling. It's safe to say that I'm ready for Monday, block 3.

My supervisor didnt make it any easier on me, wanting to see work from me everyday, the council submission drawings in specific. It's been quite a task because it's a much stricter approach than that of sketch proposals. We are almost ready to submit to council.
Ive also been attending site meetings every 2 weeks during this period of building, it is only the start. Im gaining alot of knowledge where that is concerned as there are so many processes that are to be followed at these meetings. These are the things that you would never fully understand until you experience it.

anyways, time is of the essence this week so I have to go, ciao
