my mind cut in sheets

By way of an unexpected happenstance it has occurred to me that perhaps my future in academia lies ahead via studies in Anthropology instead of History.

As exciting as this is it's also somewhat terrifying. I thought I knew I wanted to be a historian; I had no idea I might be working to be an anthropologist instead. The whole idea of a new concept of my future is hard to swallow after planning in the direction of History for so many weeks and months. Nevertheless, the more I look into the field the more excited I become. . .

I shall continue to anxiously await the trip to SUNY Binghamton. The plane tickets have been purchased and it's just a matter of weeks now.

I must remember to breathe deeply in the meanwhile.
