I supposedly give off this aura of definiteness. People- even those close to me- assume that I know what I am doing, and what I want.

I have no idea what the heck I want; rather, I am finding out in a piecemeal fashion, all the while presenting myself very carefully.

Today I reached the conclusion that I want to be a professor of African Diasporic History. Writing my thesis, I've come to conceive history within a Trans- Atlantic paradigm.

Up to this point, I was so geared toward Law School. Now I need to figure out how to do my letters of recommendation.
