"Looking forward to things" might be an under-appreciated gender difference.

My wife absolutely requires some future event to "look forward to." Doesn't matter how far in the future, or how likely the thing is to actually happen. She just loves the planning and anticipation. I am the opposite - I see these future events as potential disruptions to my otherwise smooth-flowing and predictable life that cause dread and anxiety rather than excitement.

Oof. I have no idea how to approach learning architecture this broadly... I've been interested in it as well but strictly from the angle of "I love touring traditional Japanese houses built 100+ years ago" & learning about their history & that style of architecture as I go. Maybe it's easier because I also treat it as a way of picking up Japanese vocabulary relevant to my interests. I guess connecting the book knowledge with something you actually see on your walks or travels is the best way to go!
