Hello everyone,

As of lately, the work has picked up a bit as a few of our projects are coming close to closing, which means getting final deliverables and documents finished before the upcoming deadlines. Last week I was working a bit more on the mixed-use development project, doing more SketchUp and Enscape work. The model is almost entirely finished, which has been really sweet to work on from start to finish and see come to life. I am currently working on another flythrough video of the model that will get sent out to the city later in the week. I also spent some time putting an entire neighborhood development into AutoCAD, which has been really interesting as I've been learning about plats, outlots, parcels, property easements, and development phases, which all come together to make a neighborhood. Next weekend is our company-wide get-together, which is in the Minneapolis office, which is nice, so I don't have to travel too far. However, this means that I am in charge of cleaning up the office as well as doing some repair work like fixing paint chips in the wall and some basic woodwork, but I can't be too mad as I am getting a break from sitting at my desk all day. Although I do enjoy being at my desk and working on Photoshop, SketchUp, AutoCAD, etc. I am eager to start going on site visits, as I think it will make the internship even more exciting.

In my time not at work, I have been working a good bit on a planting design for my parents' new house, which is almost complete, and I am really excited to get out and buy the selected plants and trees. Almost all the plants I choose are either pines, spruces, junipers, or firs, which means they will stay green year-round and will really pop during the winter in contrast to all the deciduous trees and plants that look dead in the Minnesota winter.

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.                         ...
