Arielle - Will I ever go on a site visit??

Heyyy it’s been a while… I kind of forgot about the blog already. Things have been pretty good, I went to a conference for the Bill Millsap Fellowship scholarship presentations. One of my coworkers won it and made a short film on the naturalistic but intentional design that Lawrence Halprin did for Yosemite. It was really nice, and made me tear up a little ngl

They still haven’t taken me on a site visit yet (I’m frothing at the mouth at this point to see an actual site). They say that I’ll be going to a few once April starts, but we shall see.


Work-wise, I’m still working on the cool schools project and making the masterplan boards look all nice and set up right. I’ve also been condemned to stay working in CAD until they find new work for me (I’ve never updated so many sheets in my life)


I’ve been exploring Dallas a bit more. I’ve really been enjoying downtown, the Bishop Arts district, and Deep Ellum. The parks around here are also super nice. I plan on exploring more if the weather decides to act like it’s still spring.


Anyways, here's a photo dump, enjoy

    Cool pics! Your site visit time will come. Took them months to bring me on one, too!

    ugh same. It's like they want it to be as hot and miserable as possible first

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.                         ...
