Weekly Update

Greetings everyone,

It has been quite a while since th last time i've updated you guys on the progress I've made over the past few weeks, that's because it's been so hectic. However I had a great learning experience over these past few weeks, because I've so much more in these past 2 weeks than i have in the previous 2 months.

So we as the 2nd year architecture students went to site in Grabouw to start working on the St. Michaels' school prject. I was so excited to start working on the project as it was a first time experience. We built a Pergola for St.Michaels' Primary, which strectches from the classrooms, all the way to the playground and jungle-gym area. We also include timber decking that steps outside the classrooms, as well as a small staircase the depresses toward the jungle-gym area. Taking part in this project for the school really taught me alot, not only about aspects in this field of work, but to also appreciate everything that we have been blessed with in our lives. We successfully finished the project lastweek friday, including all finishes and final touches. It gave me great pleasure to know that I was part of giving back to the community, and seeing the look on those childrens' faces really made this year worthwhile.

It feels so different being back in the office, I wonder what my supervisor has in store for me this week. I really hope it's nothing too hectic, because I still feel a bit drained from working in Elgin. There's only a month and a half left for me here at Nightingales. I can't believe how fast this year has passed us by. I know I'm going to miss the staff the most. Peace and Blessings.

Ciao -G
