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

SICK LEAVE...

This week I have been off sick since Tuesday and it's horrible!!!

I think I'll go back tomorrow... I got work from Enrica to do at home for the mean time so I'm not missing out on too much.

Anyhoo

ciao!

Oh dear..

Today I got the photocopier jammed.. well not really, wasn't my fault it stopped working! Anyway my boss is pleased with my work so far, she emailed me from her trip away. I am bust with drafting some plans and contacting clients, engineers, council.. the usual. I sometimes wonder if there's ever going to be one 'chilled' day.. no I don't think so.

Gota get back to some work!

See you

WEEKEND PLEASE HURRY!

I'm so tired.. been feeling a bit sick the past few days but I seem to be on top of things with my work.
Enrica is on holiday for 2 weeks.. I have lots of work to finish off. Yesterday I was making an appointment for the engineer to meet with me on site Friday afternoon, should be interesting as I'm pretty much dealing with this project via email to the client and Enrica. She is impressed with the work I have done so far which is great!

Gota go

ciao!
