What's Next?

I've never been one for many words, one of the reasons I'm doing this "thing." I need to write more. I need to express myself more.

Tonight, I'm sitting here, after a long day at work, wondering, what's next. What I do for work is not bad, but I'm not happy with it. I need to move on. I want to move on. But I'm not sure how to move on. I want to work at Northwestern directly for awhile, but I know that's not my be all end all.

I'm pretty smart. I have a creative streak. I do not deal with authority well at all. I'm not an idea person. I'm a process person. I can come up with ideas, but they are not ideas that might work well for others. I am very good at taking someone else's idea, and making it into reality. And the process to make that reality happen. What do I do? Where do I go?

I feel as though I need an opening, but to what is what confuses me. What do I want to be when I grow up? I'm there, and I still don't know. I need to do these things for myself, but I need a starting point. I need a basis to start my thinking. I don't have that base. I don't have that idea I can take and develop.
