Pre-ISP Expectations

I don't have many concrete expectations for my ISP. I mostly just want to take advantage of this experience. I'm really glad that it is so close to home and also something at face-value that I will find really interesting. The people that I am working with like Rob, Jan, Patricia, Carri, Meredith and Lilly are all really intelligent so I think I'll end up learning a lot from them.

Basic Questions:
1. What exactly does an architect do?
2. Where do engineers fit into the equation?
3. What are the main elements of a successful small business like this one?
4. What are this firm's basic marketing strategies?
5. How did this firm get started?

Mini-Goals:
1. Getting more in-touch with the architectural history of Baltimore
2. Be open and questioning
3. Get enough sleep
4. Take advantage of this opportunity

Concerns:
1. I hope I won't get bored.
2. I'm a little nervous about the fact that I know nothing about architecture.
3. I hope that I get a good sized lunch break.

Hopefully this will be a good connection to have in the future!
