Internally Yours: Your AIBC Intern Architect Rep to Council Blog

Negroni

Hm, looks like I'll never gain the trust of my blog-viewers again... seems like I said it was Friday last time, when the blog autodate said it was Thursday... but who do you argue with about this sort of thing?

Just back from Steamworks. I figure, if I'm going down there often enough, I might as well sample their cocktails. Negroni did me in. I can't even remember what I had before that. So I don't know if you'll believe what I say from now on.

So what's up. Apparently today they jacked up the number of seats at today's course Law and the Architect, from the usual 35 to 50. I think it's good that, seeing that the courses come only ever so often, more are accommodated. And seeing that intern membership has increased by 40% since 5 years ago. But I thought the chairs looked kind of hard ... (I just stopped at the AIBC offices to pick up Materials and Methods). Also, if 42% more people can attend (numbers are great), course fees could correspondingly go down. Hm!

A ton of people have done the survey. But, um, not me yet! Yes, I'll get around to it. I am supposed to find out what you people are thinking...

Monday's the year's second Council meeting. Everything's really late this year, with the conference being in June (usually it's apparently in April - I wouldn't know of course), with the retreat in June and then meetings regularly coming afterwards. I've declared my intention to attend next week so that the required number of sandwiches can be duly ordered in good time. No, actually, I'm presenting something. I won't tell you what just now, but maybe, if you're good...

Then Thursday is the Intern Committee meeting, right after an 11am Intern orientation meeting. I've asked that we talk about Intern Week and study guide accessibility. They didn't have these orientations when I registered to be an intern 2.5 years ago, so I should almost go and find out what it's all about.

I think we are still looking for more Intern Committee members, as sometimes an intern member becomes registered every now and then and, well, it's somewhat inappropriate for them to remain on the committee. Also I think a volunteer for the library is being sought out. Don't ask me - talk to Roisin (pronounced Ro-sheen) at the AIBC.
