Today I turned another year older, and I think a little retrospective is in order. In the course of a year its sometimes hard to see the little things and I sometimes have a habit of overlooking all that I’ve accomplished. After sitting down with my employer yesterday for a yearly review I decided that maybe I should do the same for my life outside of my day job, so as a little experiment I figured I would list all of my quantifiable achievements and deficiencies over the past year. I:
- spent 7 months unemployed
- spent 5 months employed by NCARB
- sat for 7 sections of the ARE
- waited over 2 months for my last ARE result to arrive
- passed 7 sections of the ARE
- was licensed as an Architect in 2 jurisdictions (Virginia and Washington, DC)
- started my own architecture firm, studioSML, LLC
- wrote 40 posts to this blog
- had a gap of almost 5 months between posts
- wrote 2 posts for Greater Greater Washington
- wrote 15 posts for DC Metrocentric
- visited 3 homes by Frank Lloyd Wright
- wrote 0 articles about those homes (which I plan on remedying as soon as possible)

So, you worked for NCARB and it still took over two months to get your last ARE result? They definitely need to improve that turnaround time.
I started working for NCARB after I was licensed. I don’t hold them accountable for the 2 month wait, i got caught up in the end of 3.1 4.0 grading backlog.
