Life@Carbo Vol. 11(Summer Sessions)

Salutations Peeps!

I hope all is peachy and all is right in your worlds,

A month between blog posts, damn.......shoutout to the folks still posting. I truly enjoy reading about your adventures and perspectives.


Assignment Updates:

To be completely honest I've been slacking on my assignment logging in my internship journal. Despite this I have in fact still of course been doing things.


Here are a few off the dome...

I recently visited one of our project sites in New Orleans, which is being developed to manage stormwater from a nearby flood-prone residential area. What you're looking at here is the energy dissipater located at the north weir. This feature is designed to slow the flow of collected water as it enters the site. The water travels through a series of large granite boulders, reducing its velocity before reaching several designated retention areas. This helps protect the site from erosion while enhancing overall stormwater management.


These photos are from a recent site visit to a development project in Shreveport. The project, named Folia, is a mixed-use residential and commercial development already underway. We were brought on as consultants to support and enhance the ongoing efforts, providing strategic input to help improve the overall outcome of the project.


While we were in Shreveport, we passed by the LSUS Health Services Center. Very Sleek.


Personal Bits:

Been in the Gym....ig that where I always am, bright spot of the day. Not to say the rest is dark, I just enjoy moving the body and hoops.


Been watching a lil Summer League, mainly for Bronny. He's been playing well; I love watching him develop into a better player.

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.                         ...
