4/8 Just Thoughts

Here are just some of my thoughts on the sustainability project so far. One thing that I don’t like about this project is the deadlines. I think that some of the deadlines are hard to meet. Some of them just kind of spring up on you just before you are about to meet with the organization again. Then you can’t write about what happened that day until later. That won’t help you if you need to make a post that day. What are you supposed to do if the person you want to get in contact with doesn’t get in touch with you before the deadline? Ella had been trying for a while in order to get in touch with Grace so we could have the interview scheduled. We had just received a response from her today. Not much is happening within the group. We are only allowed to show up on the parents and children day. That day always is on a Saturday, which I am not very fond of. We just got out of school the day before and in order for me to make it to school I have to wake up at six. Saturday is usually the day I get to relax without doing anything and then one Saturday I don’t have that luxury because I have to get up. On the other hand though it is only one Saturday out of the month. I hope that we could get more hands on work while we are at the AIANY Center for Architecture. Most of the time while we are there we are handing out materials for the parents and the children. We aren’t learning that much about how sustainable buildings are better for the environment or what makes an ordinary building green. On the other hand even if it remains the same it is almost over and was a great experience.
