building and rebuilding

Looking back, I have a few regrets. I was going to be an architect. I loved drafting and AutoCad and designing buildings, and took all the right classes in high school so I could do just that. Even then I doubted myself before I started. I somehow convinced myself...I gave up on that dream. Stopped applying to Universities because I was sure I wouldn't get any scholarships, and could never afford to go to University without it. I downgraded my plan to go to college for architectural technology. I spent a semester and a half learning how to design steel and concrete boxes, like factories, warehouse and such. I was so bored.

I wish I hadn't quit. I wish I had gone to University to become an architect. It would have been a smart decision, and I would have enjoyed it.

I wish I had a time machine.
