Contrary to popular belief, hind-sight is even more muddled and confused than the present : ) I really wanted to be an archeologist, but I thought it was too impractical. In general I was too "practical" in my life choices. I wish I had at least tried vagabonding at bit combined with writing, looking for something - adventure or I don't know what. That, however, it probably naive. Real world choices were much more difficult and uncertain and my memory is inadequate.
