graduate school take two

Ok, that title might be mis-leading i did not quit school and now i am looking to get back, no the case. No, part of my original plan when i left HOK/ Saint Louis was to get a dual masters degree.

I knew that an advanced degree was in my future, a masters of architecture, which i am currently enrolled in right now and will graduate in may of 2008. I also had my eye on expanding my architectural knowledge by also pursing a degree in urban planning/ design.

So the blog title refers to me beginning my search for schools, again. However i feel now, i know so much more. More about myself, more about my talents, about what i am looking for, etc. I am very much looking forward to this process. Last time i was super nervous. I have never had a great confidence in my skills, mostly because they were never fully tested or explored. This past year has definitely pushed me to use parts of me i did not know i had.

So now i have a chip on my shoulder, but i have confidence so i am going to begin to do some research on schools like Harvard, Columbia, Carnegie Mellon, etc. Am i scared? Yes, but i really want to be the best i can be.

So stay tuned, I think i will be applying to 8 schools. I will keep anyone interested, informed.
