"You can build my house"

When I tell people that I'm going to school for architecture, everyone says, "You can build my house." Joy. I'm starting to get really nervous about school, money, work, the job market, marriage, spirituality, life, etc. That's too much to worry about. My boyfriend says I dwell too much on things. How should I stop?

I was reading this incredible critical book of poetry, reviewing from the beginning of time (Beowulf, The Odessy) to the present. In the chapter on late Romantic British poetry, I was learning about the life of my favorite poet, George Byron. The book said something similar to 'Great poets lead ordinary lives. They just sit back and watch more. They decipher their feelings well enough to be able to exhibit them to others. THAT is what makes good poetry. Slow emotion.'

I'm not trying to say that I'm some kind of marvelous poet, but I'm admiting that I think the aforementioned type of instrospectiveness is my malady. Is there a doctor in the house?
