Thursday was maybe the busiest and most interesting day of
the internship yet. It was the day of the midterm presentation. After long
hours of preparation and hard work, it was finally time to present our work and
show what we have learned from the internship so far. We woke up early to
prepare ourselves. Everyone was formally dressed, with shirts and ties for the guys.
At breakfast, when everyone was recalling their part in their heads, we met Mr.
Paul Abou Jaoude, a friend of Mr. Yabroudi who is planned to give us a lecture
on Saturday.

We arrived to the company at about 8:30, with the
presentations starting at 10:00 am. In that time, we had the chance to do a
mock presentation in front of Bryan (the teacher assistant) who gave us
constructive remarks and tips to make the presentation as good as possible and
avoid any mistakes.
The two teams presented in front of Mr. Abdullah, Mr.
Bassam, Mr. Paul, Dr. Sam, and Ms. Sarah who all gave us comments on how to
improve the presentation. We all took the notes into consideration and will
employ them in the final presentation.

Later that day and after taking a small break and having lunch,
we had an interesting lecture about Sustainable Construction by Miss Yara
Matar. The lecture drew our attention to the important environmental aspect of
construction.

Heading to the dinner |
The day ended in the best way possible with a delicious
dinner at the Bosporus restaurant. The Turkish restaurant was a great
experience for all of us as we were introduced to several types of Turkish dishes.
That is how we ended the extraordinary second week of the
internship. This day and the free day on Friday will get us excited and ready
for the eventful week ahead of us.
