WEEK 11: RESPONSIBILITY


This moment is very important to me in an unimaginable way. It’s a point that marks my growth as an architectural intern, a point where I temporarily leave the nest in which I have been taught my skills. This probably sounds like an absurd metaphor, so I will go right ahead and explicitly reveal what I am gushing about. The boss is leaving for a couple of days, leaving me in charge. ME! Let that sink in.

Not that there was anyone else to divert the responsibilities to (look at me, bursting my own bubble), but still she chose to allow me. That means she trusts me to assume the responsibility of being my own intern and boss simultaneously. Well, at least for the next three days anyway.

A part of me is bordering a state of panic which I am desperately attempting to suppress with the excitement that’s practically taking over me. Calm down Simamkele. Calm down.

The first thing that came to mind was THAT little voice asking “what am I going to do? Well, at least I have an answer to that. The council submissions are almost complete, but there are a few more things that have to be done to seal the package. And by “a few more things” I mean fenestration and energy calculations. The part that no one wants to get to. That should keep my math loathing mind busy for the next couple of hours. Days? Maybe.  I am just looking forward to the last part – colouring!
