The Architect Stares Back

What with all the down time over break (and my laptop being in for repairs) I had a lot of time to think about what my plans are for the next few years. And well, there's a lot to think about, but the short of it is the following:

a. I know I'm more of a designer, not an artist.
b. Architects are designers who get to work on things as big as buildings or as small as silverware.
c. I want to get a Masters of Architecture.
d. I don't want to do any more art school.
e. The important thing before pursuing an MArch is to have working experience.

So, the conclusion from this and other things is that I'm planning on dropping my art major and graduating on time so that I can just get on with it instead of feeling frustrated with the art school here for another year. It's not that I haven't learned things while in art school, it's just that I don't think I have more to learn there.

So now I'm faced with realizing that I only have 3 semesters left of school, that I'm more than halfway done. Which means that by next year I need to know what kind of job I'm looking for and what connections I have that can help me find said job. Ah scary...
