The Hunt Begins!

Career Fair came and went this past Friday in a flash. Before I knew it I had a chronological portfolio in the works, a presentation worthy portfolio for screen sharing, and a long list of updates across platforms. This job hunt is I’m sure going to be as interesting as last years. Most things are still online including Career Fair. The school decided to…

Externship: Day 11

Today was the last day in the office. Aside from the goodbyes and well wishes it was business as usual. I looked over the SketchUp model once more to add a little more detail. I completed the carrying case for the model, even reworking a portion inside to keep the loose pieces from moving if carried upside down. I had written on Thrusday about…

Externship: Day 10

Sunday was a pleasant as could be. I started the day a little late around 10 AM. A bowl of cereal, a quick cup of tea, and a warm wardrobe for a long days walk. I walked several hours bouncing between Goodwills on the shopping trip of the year. Finally I found skirts that fit me and are appropriate for work. I also found…

Externship: Day 9

The weekend is for relaxing. I have enjoyed my Saturday catching up on sleep, reading, and tidying up the apartment. I have also done a little research to plan out my Sunday. Seeing as I am not sick this weekend it would be nice to get out and enjoy a full day out and about rather than those few hours on the weekdays. I…

Externship: Day 7

After putting my lunch in the fridge and making a cup of tea I started the computer to get right back into SketchUp. Clearly I did this model the long way because it has taken far far too long in my opinion. After building in groups, exploding, realigning, regrouping, and editing on revised documents and models I am happy to say it is probably…

Externship: Day 6

Today was another day at the computer working through SketchUp. Revit gave me some trouble opening and letting me see things. After asking some nearby people for help I discovered I wasn’t messing the file up and could in fact measure and “move” as needed. Midway through the day I broke for lunch with two of the CGA members. Both had looked over my…

Externship: Day 5

Today was a busy day! The physical model is near complete. I was entrusted with working the offices 3D printer a Cubicon. After a quick tutorial on the offices preferences  I completed two of three prints. The last print is running overnight. Tomorrow morning I will check on the last print. Once cleaned all three prints will be glued into place and voila! model…

Externship: Day 4

Despite a late start today was productive. The apartment recieved a quick tidying up, dishwasher emptied and refilled, counter cleaned, fridge picked through and old things dumped, and any messes were sorted. Soon after a late lunch of soup and hot tea followed by hot coffee preceded a much needed nap. After that I decided to go grocery shopping. I had seen several neat…

Externship: Day 3

I awoke this morning with a sore throat, a stuffy nose, a tad warm and very tired. Half the day was lost to drinking hot tea, drinking warm soup, and napping. When I finally warmed up I met a friend for the first tea time of 2019 at HARBS in Chelsea. Following a fabulous tea time and dinner we took a stroll down the…

Externship: Day 2

Today went as swimmingly as yesterday! I returned to completing the site model. The few individual choices made were aesthetic in nature, which color to border the model, how much to sand or cut the 3-D prints, and how to trim and border the streets. More of the office members stopped around to chat. Honestly the location of my worktable probably helped. I moved…
