Late blog update

Last week was a pretty busy week, I went to council 3 days in a row. I'm feeling more comfortable going to council as I know who to speak to about what and I understand the jargon used there. All seems to be a lot clearer to me in the industry now days.

Yesterday I received my marks for my hub presentation and I'm not happy with my progress but will try again for the next hand-in. I think I took on too much this year and haven't managed my tech work too well, also I have become too rational in my designs and thought process.... It's going to be difficult to get over it but I will.

last week

last week block 2, I had a great time and learnt new things about architecture, different technologies, concepts and had a good response with regards to my presentation..

I thought Andy Horne was AMAZING! his talk was different and had my attention throughout the whole period. He is inspirational!

I have learnt from black 2 to be more risk taking and free with my work.. need to use my right side of my brain a little more and the left side a little less. Also, to come up with some strategies on how to design environmentally friendly buildings... 

gtg get to work

ciao!

oh! this morning I got to work and my boss had left a gift on my table for my birthday while I was away :p she's a great boss!

crunch time

So next week is Tech hand-ins and I have so much work to finish at the office...

Today I went to council in both Town and Milnerton to ask a few questions with regards to zoning, heritage etc. Also what I did was collect 2 sets of plans and inquired old house plans for a client. I did foget to follow up on a SDP hand in which has been in council for over 6 months!!! that's soooooo long it's unbelievable how long such a simple thing can take.

Anyway I enjoyed my time spent at the town muni, the people there are witty and weird but cool!

Back to work! woohoo

design

Today my boss and I had a long meeting, sketching up some desings and sorting out admin.

Admin is such a nightmare with small projects.. so much to file, email, people to call etc.

Council has been such a pain the past few days and still hasn't found a set of old house plans I inquired for a few weeks ago. It's a mssion following up with them.

Else I'm very busy and have loooooooooots of work to do!

Ciao
