Where time takes us in life

sigh. i'm in america studying architecture now, and i intend to return here or go to europe next year for my masters. i suppose this means that i will become an architect, which is not to say that i do not view this prospect favourably, or have any qualms about such a time consuming lifestyle.

i just went to new york, and the culture there is so strong and compelling it inspires me to be involved in a world of buildings. static yet experiential, arduously conceived, sustained in spite of its long drawn processes... reaching beyond time to craft spaces.

and yet i think i feel some regret that i shall not be applying to work for Stufish, learning to become art director with the team that did the beijing olympics, cirque du soleil, the superbowl, etc. it was like terminating that thread of exploration in the world of theatre. what would have been a natural progression, another simple yes, in that email felt like a kind of set up for disappointment, a trap i set 3 years ago.

sorry wendi, you've moved on in show business, i don't think i can come back until a long long time yet.
