School is finally over for the quarter, and I am taking a bit of rest. I finished up on Thursday and don't start again until next Monday. I am looking forward to not taking any classes, just working on my thesis.
The last couple days I've been rereading two books that were really influential in my life, The Chosen and The Promise, both by Chaim Potok. It has left me in a very introspective mood, not sad or depressed, but a bit pensive. I wonder about the decisions I've made and the direction of my life. Lately I feel as though I abandoned a lot of things that were important to me when I started studying architecture. Perhaps abandoned is too strong; I put on blinders and sacrificed personal interests for the sake of school. Nearing the end I'm wondering how I will begin to reclaim them.

Thing is, you have to focus on things to pursue other things. I mean, nobody can be the greatest at everything. Even I have to give certain things up to be as good as I am at other things.
You can't lament it, though-- you're really close to achieving a long-term goal. Do you think maybe you're a little institutionalized? Anxious about life-after-school?
Are you suggesting I've been institutionalized?
I am anxious about life after school. I intend to work for a while, but I don't feel tied to architecture, like it is my life. That is one of the most disturbing parts of arch, there is this perception that you have to live and breath architecture. It is part of the struggle to view architecture as an art, the myth that good artists must be completely obsessed with their art. Problem is when you only know about your own art, it begins to love connection with the rest of the world.
That is a tangent for another time. I'm glad I came to school here, I'm happy about what I've learned, I do not see myself persuing a traditional career in architecture. I'm not sure that if I do a Phd it will be in architecture.
Hey mang, I was just declared to be Pabst Blue Ribbon! Go to my blog and take the test, now that you don't have to worry about classes (at least not immediately). I'm betting you're a Michelob!
ha hahahahahhahaha ha ah ah ah ah a ha ha hah ah ah a!
so, krusty was walking along the jewish walk of fame, and he come across the star for chaim potok. he makes a joke, but i can't remember it right now for the life of me.
okay, googled it. he just makes the assertion during the show that his is a bigger star than potok.
but, on the topic of post, i feel your pain. being near the end of school, i wonder what i've put off for the last 3 years, especially as i've burned the midnight oil to complete things.
like, i need to start painting again. not that painting is my life, but in doing so , i self reflect, i spend time with God, i process life and dream & work toward my future.
So Justin and Ed, are you telling me that after three years of Scott being back in school that he will feel the same way you both do? Ugh. Just kidding.
To both of you... congrats on nearing the end. I pray one day you will be able to say that to Scott. I know when that day comes we will be thrilled, so I think you both must be relieved. I can see that life after school must be a little daunting. You've been students longer than anything else you have been. Scott too.
