I’ve been faced with an inevitable, very foreseeable sort of problem. And it’s entirely my own fault that I’m crippled by it.

In short, what the hell am I going to do with my life?

I’ve had a vague notion for quite a while now that I want to be a history professor. But over the course of the summer I’ve realized that my vague notion is just that. And I’ve thought about how much work a doctoral program really is, and how little a vague notion of what you want to do someday prepares you for that.

So what do I want? Who am I? What’s my place in the universe? Where do I want to be in ten years?

When am I going to start to wanting more in life than a bed, food and access to a library?
