March 23, 2020 - Emily

I am sad to say that last week I got laid off from my internship "because of the coronavirus". They said depending on when this ends they might hire me back for the summer but I highly doubt that will happen. Im trying not to be negative about this but I am just sad that my internship experience was not what I hoped it would be and it got cut short. Riley also got laid off so we are going to have to scrape by these next couple of months.

On the bright side now I get to hang out with Riley and Bubbles all day. We bought a frisbee set and are gonna go practice on the disc golf course in Zilker Park if it ever stops raining. I am also going to use this spare time to draw, read, crochet and exercise. Riley and I are also cooking together more which is fun. Tonight's dinner includes pan seared duck breast and smashed fingerling potatoes cooked in duck fat and fresh herbs and a side of fondat squash.

I hope everyone else has a better experience.

    Emily,

    I'm so sorry to hear that. I think you went through what everyone else here is most worried about. So far Charlie and I are still working, but anything could change given the rapidly changing circumstances. If you need anything, or anyone to talk to about all of this, you can text me.

    If this ended up happening to me, I think I would tend to just sit around and do nothing all day, so its good to hear you and Riley are keeping busy.

Lately we've been working mostly on a couple of residential projects. One of them is for a local radio guy, which is pretty interesting. Part of the program is going to be an outdoor recording setup, so we need to deal with noise. I also got to put together a short video for the office Instagram of the concept process.   Other than the residential projects, we've also been redecorating the conference room. We're using professional photos taken after some big projects finished up and hanging them to showcase the office's work. We're doing it mostly DIY, and hanging them on these vertical mounts.

Happy May y'all! Not too much has changed since my last post, but there are a few interesting things.  Work:  The project Bosshard Ranch is still on hold by the client, so nothing new to report there. My main focus has been on the  Bear Island project. I finished up the site analysis and now I am working on the illustrative plans for the project. We haven't finalized a design yet, but since Mike thinks this will be a project to submit for an ASLA award I just finished making an illustrative plan for the existing conditions. I haven't done a full illustrative plan at DW up until now so this has been a great learning experience.  I recently got put on a new project for 3 Creek Ranch Clubhouse. It is a country club out in Jackson, WY. That makes it now my third project out in the area. We are once again working with Prospect architects to redo a part of the clubhouse and pool area. Basically all I have done up until this point is create the CAD base for the project. Hopefully

Kaylin Wilson’s Viewport - First Week

Greetings, Houston is lovely. I really am shocked that I like this city as much as I do. I love the area I’m living in. OJB is nice and the workload the first day compared to the second week is night and day. The first day was really nerve wracking and slow, but now it’s fast paced and busy busy. My coworkers took me out to lunch the first week, such angels. I am the only intern, and have decided to make a file for future interns so they won’t go through what I went through. I just think that would be helpful in the future. Doing a lot of work with VectorWorks and LandFX right now. Sometimes I ride the bus to work, but the drive is only 9 minutes away. Making a ton of new friends! Jk, I have no social life but I am staying busy becuase Houston has a ton of stuff going on. Went to a vegan festival last week, and TWO EDM concerts. Saw KSHMR (10/10) performance absolutely a must see, and KASKADE... eh I would give him a 6.8/10.. Shocking I know. I got a few plants for my apartment and o
