Hi y'all
Two weeks in and Im already tired but lucky me Boss was out of town today so I got to work at home-is that awsumness or what? Working on 4 projects simultaneously-geez!!going from one thing to the next is uncool coz it never gets done. But I'm really excited about one particular project. I've been to a relatives church last year and notice that people came to the church to give thanks but some how neglected to maintain the "house of the Lord". I took it upon myself that one day I'd like to give this church a face-lift and restore it to its former glory and low and behold I started working on it yesterday-now thats what I call a blessing. I guess I was out of a job for a while for a reason -this was waiting for me. So I encourage all of you out there, dream big, dream small but what ever you do, keep dreaming!-it can only happen if you believe it.
Peace Brothers (& sisters)

ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET, GO!!!
This was my debut week as an Architectural Intern. I accepted an offer Monday morning, half and hour later got to the office and not long thereafter was off to council - all before noon! The next two days I settled in, got acquainted with the daily running of things, bonded with a few cats and made coffee from a gas stove for the first time. I started draughting on autocad 2006 (a later version to what we are accustom to). The two projects I am busy with are minor renovations and extentions to existing residential houses. Who knew for such minor things one needs so much detail and information. I learnt on Monday-will chating to those at Council-that alot of information/detail is needed at the zoning counter regarding the purpose/function of the building(s) proposed. Example, if you are building a creche, thay need to know the schedule pertaining to play time and nap time so that the neighbours are aware of its daily operations and that they are not disturded. You also require a whole sherbang of documentations. I always knew Architects had a lot on their plates but when I heard that in the UK they need to summit site diagrams to show where they are going to mix cement and so on because you can't just mix it anywhere i.e. the road, because you will get dust on the nextdoor neighbours property!!! So now we have to do more unnecessary work. This has however been an interesting first week, learnt alot, got to explore on my own for two days while the architect was away, and got to sleep early this week and wake up a WHOLE hour later!! long hours in front of the computer is un cool though. Until later. Chow

This Is Me
New Beginings
Our first assignment "This is me", describes who we are, our likes/dislikes and so on. I enjoyed compiling this exercise. It allowed me to reflect on the past year. I now have visual clarity as to how I've grown and changed as an individual. I appreciate the new people/friends that i've met and all the new interests that I've acquired. First year was hard but I finished the year on a high note(academically), therefore, I am victorious.This year however, not so much. Iam still unemployed, although I have been to a few interviews. I just have to be patient, all good things take time. God puts these challenges in our way knowing that we can overcome them and be humbled by it. This applies to blogging as well, which is difficult and new for me. I will try and try again and be successful (courtesy of all the helpers out there).
Here's a preview of what I'm about.
Welcome to Me!

This Is Me
New Beginings
Our first Blog assignment for the year "this is me" is to describe ourselves and to state our likes/dislikes and so on. I enjoyed compiling this assignment. It allowed me to re-access myself and see all the new interests that I've acquired over that past year. There are still many things out there that i have yet to discover, particularly throughout this year.
But for now, here's a small preveiw.http://www.slideshare.net/TanyaMoodaley/this-is-me-6731533%22%20title=%22This%20is%20me%22
