Architecture is amazing.It has changed the way I look and interact with the world and my environment.It has trained me to be hyper-sensitive (過度敏感) to the built environment,to recognize problems and find solutions that an untrained eye would never notice.
   As much as I love this profession,it is very easy to get lost in architecture.I get so focused that I have forgotten about everything else.Luckily my passion for cycling kept me sane (清醒的) while I was becoming an architect.I faced a lot of obstacles and challenges taking a bicycle ride across the United States.Looking back,cycling across the America was actually one of the smartest things I ever did.
   I have actually bicycled across the continental USA twice;East to west.Atlantic Ocean to Pacific Ocean,both times.Bicycling across America isn't as hard as you think.
   I rode alone on my first trip in 2005 from Virginia Beach to the coast of Florence,Oregon.In the end it was 4,547 miles over the course of 77 days.
   I left for the second trip in 2007 with my two best friends from Bar Harbor,Maine to Portland,Oregon,which was a 4,886 mile ride over 90 days.At that time,I fell in love with the idea of leaving the east coast behind,starting a whole new life and career in a new city.I ended up in Portland.After arriving in town on a bike,I eventually found a job,a place to live and an amazing dog.
   I share all this not to convince anyone to go biking across America,but only to share how doing this has changed my life.Architecture has given me a wonderful life and career but it isn't everything.Thankfully I have also been very passionate about:my friends,traveling,bicycles ,punk rock,technology,the internet,my dog,and even yoga.My architecture background has definitely sweetened my relationship with all those things.
   Becoming an architect is a noble pursuit,but you should keep pursuing everything else that you are passionate about.It will enhance your architecture career and ultimately make you a more interesting person,which in my opinion is really more important than being another silly architect.

       Hope and Despair
