Catching up

This week required alot of catching up in terms of both work and tech. Monday was the final resubmission day, and eventhough i didnt resubmit anything - i still had an essay to complete. That didnt take too long though. On the work front I have the same work although minor changes done. Yesterday i got a new project for the same major company although a different department. So today i have to set out the entire site.

Let me get started.. Take care..*

Post tech week

Getting back into the swing of things at work proved to be quite more difficult than I thought. Its safe to say actually say i miss Grabouw and all the practical activities. Monday was just getting used to the old routine of getting into the work mode. I still have the same projects to complete although there seem to be alot more changes than what i initially remembered. There are new due dates which are practically around the corner so i need to get some things done asap.

Anyways, till next time.. Take care..*

Friday 4th November, Final week

Today was the presentation day :) We finished it! Our phase of the design build project is finally complete and not even the rain is bringing anyone down. Its an amazing feeling to see what we as students have managed to complete all on our own and working as a good solid team. The most exciting part by far is probably when the small children painted their hands on the wall of the school. Their hands are extremely small i must say. There were so many people that came out to support and congratulate us on what we have achieved as aspiring architects. Its the kinda things that makes you realise what is worthwhile in life :)

I will post photos for you to have an idea.. Take care :)

October 28, Week 1

This Friday marks the first week at Grabouw. So far we have manged to set up what is needed at the site. Everyone is now familiar with what needs to be done, by when and by who. The travelling takes alot out of you, but hey? its for a good cause. Its exciting to see how exciting the small children are which just spurs on your perseverence to keep working t it. As yet, we are ahead of schedule which is good as it allows for any crisis time there could possibly be.

Anyways, take care..*

Pre-tech week

So this was the final week before the final block at tech. Everything has been going a lil crazy trying to prep for a meeting on monday im not going to be here for - the presentation of the working drawings to that company i previously mentioned. In the same breath, considering im not going to be here for the next to weeks, i had to get all the work sorted out for then. So this week was just prepping for the time i am not going to be here and at the same time getting all my stuff ready for tech and also studying for the up and coming tests on Monday and Tuesday.

Anyways, thats it.. Take care..*

Flying by

The other day I was looking at my calender and realised.. the end of the year is alot more near than i initially thought. Its come to the point where you have to put everything in order and learn the last bit you can while you still have the chance. So this week went by extremely fast as the work increased as of last week. The company's building i was busy on had some internal changes after a meeting in the week so that had to be done along with the rest of the departments all over Cape Town and things are due all over the show. Yesterday i basically toured the whole of cape town going from one council to the next lol.. Its alot more tiring than what it seems but hey? Its a good long time out of the office.. Shhh.. you didnt hear that from me :)

Anyways, the bosses are back today and considering its Friday, the last bit of work for this week has to be finished off to start off afresh this week especially considering its nearly time for tech. Considering its two weeks this time, its really quite alot and truth be told.. Not really that excited. But anyways, take care now..*

Working drawings

This week began out easy, didnt really have any work to start.. But then Tuesday came the big bomb. The working drawings of that company is due Monday coming. So all of us at the office have sprung in for the various drawings that are needed. That has basically been the main focus for this week. Along with that came the stress of another department for the same company. So the working drawings and sketch plans have to be ready within a short period of time.

So i have to get cracking.. Take care..*
