Somehow - SOMMMMMEHOW - NCARB accepted my hours from when I was working in Atlanta.  Even though I thought I was going to get screwed by their new 6 month deadline rule.  Anyway, I’m feeling significantly closer to getting that architecture license, and despite all the hiccups, I’m actually thinking that this thing is really gonna happen.  So now I have to focus on studying, and actually taking those (7) parts of the ARE.  I actually feel sparks of interest in my work again.  Phew!

On a side note, this means I’m that much closer to taking a summer sabbatical (unpaid leave, really…) after I get everything worked out, and doing the Appalachian Trail, woot woot!!
