Well summer finally arrived. These last couple of months have been spent in the Tri-Cities area in Washington State where I have been working on an internship. I have been, along with a friend and classmate of mine, designing a concept amphitheater for the Washington State University Tri-Cities campus. They had wanted us to design an amphitheater that could ultimately seat 10,000 guest, though we have found that this would not be practical in the long run, mostly because of parking constraints. At first they did not have much ready for us, and so we spent our time checking out other amphitheaters, creating occupancy calculators, gathering up resources, and learning how to play pool. We finally made contact with some people in the area to steer us in the right direction in certain things and we finally could start the actual design. If you are interested to see what we did, I will be posting up our written report, concept drawings and anything else that relates to our internship project this summer at http://deaconstruction.com/amp. We worked on our written report for about 25 hours out of 48 here two days ago. We will be doing our presentation on Tuesday to the University Chancellor, her cabinet, and others. Hopefully that will go without a hitch! On top of the internship, I have been taking a class online, New Testament Letters, to lessen my load this upcoming school year. I would have had to take 19 credits one quarter if I didn’t take this class, as I hope to graduate this next spring. I’ll be finishing my class about the time of our presentation…
I will drive down to California for some rest from the busyness as of late, hopefully! I am wanting to learn a bit more about web programing to make more feature-rich websites and make them more interactive. In addition, I will need to earn some money. Then back to Walla Walla University to finish up my Civil Engineering degree! There you have it, my summer in a nutshell…
