Monday

So i woke up at 630 this morning to head down to santa barbara to look at some places with my 253 class. We first met at 9 at the project site where they are taking a man made reservoir and turning it into a park. Huge place, Sheffield reservoir for the locals. There are 60 foot high tanks that were put in to hold the water and they will be buried, mainly for aestethics, but i am told also as a terrorist deterrent, "if you can't see it, it isn't there"
We then met at a very fast paced LA corporation office, Susan Van Atta's comp.( Look it up, you'll find it) they showed us different programs they were working on including the reservoir. We learned about different office atmospheres and starting salaries.......don't expect a refund Dad.
We went to luvnch at a nice italian restaurant, only to have Jackie find a lady bug in he rorganic salad. It might have been just me, but i did not eat with quite as much gusto afterwards. Atleast jackie got the meal for free.
We then met at Ellings Park. A large park that was actually built over an old landfill, it was quite beautiful and i am trying to figure what idiot would put his trash there, Oh well, its water under the bridge, or at least trash under the hill.
We stopped at one more site of the office where money was spent outside and thought out more than the actual offices, but the budget was low, so the site will not look like the plans for about 10 years. Uggh.
