Hi All
This past week at office was not very hectic in terms of the amount of work we had to do. The whole week Myself and Aubrey were working on a housing development in the James Town area. The drawings consisted of different unit types, site plans and 3D Sketch Up models which had to be completed for today (Friday) for a 12 o'clock meeting with the client. Myself and Aubrey had to work on the unit type drawings which were drawings of plans and elevations on Auto CAD.
As 12 o'clock meeting was approaching we were rushing to get everything done so that we were not late for the meeting. It was a bithectic having to do so much in a short space of time. We eventually got all the things together in time for the meeting and when it was over the architect commented us on doing and getting all the work in on time. It was also good to hear that the client liked the work that was put forward by us as a firm. All in all it was another good review and a good day at the office.
Till next Friday have a great weekend. Peace!!!

Back at work
Hey people.
So it was back to work this week after the week at Tech. The transition from going to class and back to work was not easy. I was as almost I had not left work, they just carry on giving you work like we had to catch up on the week we missed. I had to get use to things again in office the week at Tech had me more in a relaxed mood. It is amazing how a week off can change your work rhythm but after the first day back at work I was sorted.
This week I was working on different projects. I was working on the Franschoek retail development plan, helping senior architects with the municipal submissions. I also worked on a housing development in Somerset West, adjusting the plans of the unit to clients specification for a meeting which took place today.
Other than my work at the firm this week was actually much more relaxed now that we did not have to deal with the Tech projects and the projects at the firm. It was a much need break after hours of the work to just have a relaxing evening.
Till next time. I'm out. PEACE:)

End of Block 2
Hey :)
We finally got ot go back to class this week. During the year it felt like this block took forever to arrive, now that it has past it feels like we are nearing the end of the year and I cant believe how quickly it gone past.
It was great going back to class and meeting all my friends and china's again and catch up on things. It was nice to be able to explain to someone the situation your in because they are going through the same thing. As far as class work is concerned it was good that we were able to get feedback on ours years work through face to face consiltation. Having to constantly be looking at a computer screen all day Im sure is not good for you. It was also a refreshing change of scenery from sitting in a office, with almost no windows, all day. This I think this was a much needed break from our work place just so that we don't get completely bored at work having to do the same thing everyday of the week.
This was a good academic week for us because it gave us a better understanding of our future work as well as an indication of where we stand in terms of our progress.
It was great seeing you guys again. Hope the wait for block 3 is not as long as block 2...
Au Revoir!!
