The month of April was by far, one of the most hectic and busiest times while working as an intern. I had started with the Working Drawings for both of the BP Rosmead and BP President Motors projects. This of course included many plan layouts, various internal sectional elevations and details, flat elevations, ablution layouts, a couple of external elevations, one or two schedules for proposed shopfronts and doors, together a few joinery and assembly details.
Having to work under tight deadlines, over-time was not a single-handed option. So yes, my first month of strenuous overtime work for an architecture firm. One thing I can't recall is the amount of coffee that was consumed this past month - too much to remember I suppose.
A key element was time management. Having to balance time between two projects, but still being thorough for each, to be able to finish both on time, to the perfection of the clients satisfaction.
It was also great to have had a few public holidays this month, being Good Friday, Easter Monday and Freedom Day. South Africans love this public holidays, that's for sure.
Other than the over-time, and the public holidays, it was also my Birthday - 15th April. It was great to have gotten away from the hustle and bustle of the city life, to go on holiday for a couple of days to the famous Wine Route - Robertson. A relaxing road-trip with great company!
Until next time folks!
