Blog 6 for fun Sophie Webber

  WORK: The past 2 weeks have been lots of fun at work! Last week, I got to go out to Lockhart Elementary School and measure every. last. tree. on the entire campus. It took hours, but it felt so good to be outside, so I just romanticized life and enjoyed myself. This week, I got to go to a Community Meeting at Crowder Park. The rendering of the trail system I put on my last blog was blown up onto a poster board along with a bunch of others for people of the community to come by and see what we have going on. A few grumpy neighbors complaining about the park expansion, but mostly excited bikers and hikers. I was out there for 4 hours, and the pollen goes hard so I seriously sneezed on the entire community. This week, I am working on a secret project making CAD bases from GIS of various locations, so we have options on where to put our big juicy secret. 

 

FUN: Last weekend, I hung out with my brother, Lydia, and Coco again, but this time in Wilmington, NC. It's on the coast and I think I want to live there and be a surfer girl forever. Goodbye everyone. This weekend I'm hitching up to Richmond, Virginia. I have never been to Virginia, so I am excited to explore! LFG.


SEREDIPITY?

Before I left for Wilmington, I randomly met this woman named Martha. She was a funny little ole hippie. We got to talkin and she asked me what I was doing in Raleigh. I told her about my internship in Landscape Architecture and she nearly shit a brick. She told me she had been looking for the right person to let look through her deceased husband (of 1 year)'s book collection. I was honored and excited and followed her home. She said he was a lover of learning, hobbies, and life in general. We wouldve been friends. I got awesome old music books (Beatles, Dylan, Young, Etc.) women books (just boob pics), Landscape Architecture books, a Tarot card educational book cause im tryna learn, and some books on space for my brother because he has completely lost his mind to the aliens. It was such a serendipitous moment in my life and I smiled all the way home thanking life for setting up weird little coincidences like this one. ITS THE LITTLE THINGS STRAIGHT UP.

 
She must have really trusted me she let me roam over the whole joint.

She truly is the light of my life.

She took that. Thanks Coco new fav solo.

Lets go to the beach-each!

Community meeting at Crowder Park! This was wholesome. 150 people showed up. They care so much about their community.

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.                         ...
