Addison's Blog 1: Learning the Basics!!

 

Hey guys! I hope everyone is having an amazing time on their internship — I know I am! It feels like time is flying by, and I really wish it would slow down because I’m having such a great time and I feel like I am learning so much.

My first few weeks at Groundspro have been so exciting and super busy! On my first day, I was lucky enough to go on a few site visits to a few places that I was going to be working on to start and basically get my feet in the water. It was such a great way to kick things off because I got to see firsthand the spaces I was going to be involved with and started to understand the scope of the projects! It was absolutely the best way to start what the next few months were going to look like, and it made everything feel so real!

One of the things I was most excited about for this internship is that I was getting to work in residential design and construction, both in the field and in the office! I’ve already had the chance to learn new software tricks, which has been a game changer and honestly wish I could’ve learned some of this stuff sooner. I also got to fly the drone which is pretty cool and so helpful. I’ve always enjoyed and kind of drifted towards this side of landscape architecture and this internship has definitely made me realize that this is definitely what I want to do.

I hope y’all are all enjoying your internships and I can’t wait to see what everyone has been up to!!!!

Blog #1 – Jalen Winburn Hello all, I hope everyone is having great times at their internships! In my first week at Confluence in Minneapolis, it was all about learning the systems and how things work here: file structure, licensing, AutoCAD standards, company structure, and how project timelines and budgets work. On my first day, I was able to introduce myself to everyone in the office and get settled onto my desk and computer. In our office there are only 10 of us, including myself and another intern who is also a 4th-year landscape architecture student but at the University of Minnesota. After the first week, and once I was settled in, I was able to start helping around the office for several projects. One thing that surprised me in my first few weeks here was how many projects we are working on at the same time. After my first month and a half, I have already worked on about 30 different projects ranging from amenity decks on rooftops for condos/apartments to city parks around the M...

GREETINGS ONCE AGAIN! I am attempting to get better at this blogging thing, I think my delivery of the last one was a bit bland and robotic. Fortunately, they say in life growth is inevitable and the same applies to my internship experience. I feel the level of trust is being raised with us interns. From the increased workload to the level of work being that is tasked to us. I don't know if it's just me but having my judgement and skill trusted to the level of having a deliverable that I had a large role in being presented to others is a slightly nervous but very rewarding feeling. It also acts as a motivator to keep learning and increase the quality of my efforts.  Assignment updates! Mikala and I did tree warranty work at Greenwood Park in Baker. Our task of was to walkthrough a portion of the park and tag the dead trees and ground shrubs so they could be replaced under their one-year warranty.                         ...
