How did i get here?

Im sitting in the Library reading about the Colorado Digital Project and I am struck by the thought of how on earth did i get here? seriously? Who would have thought 10 years ago that I would sitting infront of a computer reading about a project i dont really care about to prepare for another project that I dont really care about on easter weekend. Some times I am struck by how ridiculous my life is sometimes. I recently read an article about how the millenials do not have a very good work ethic.....Im amazed at this. Especially considering millenials are the most educated of the generation. We have to have a work ethic and at least in the case of the ones that decide to continue education beyond undergraduate, i think there is something wrong with us. At the very least we are not satisfied with being average, or even at the same level as our parents. There is no way to make it through 4-12 years of school without a work ethic. I work about 60 hours a week most weeks. 20 of actual paid labor, 10 hours of class, 5ish of volunteer work, and I easily put in another 10-30 hours of work in on homework most weeks. more on weeks like this. So i took offence to the article that i read (msnbc article) because it said millenials dont want to work more then 40 hours a week.......well yes, when i graduate that is one of the things I look most forward to, getting to go home at the end of the day and watch a movie if I want. Will it happen....for a few months yeah, then Ill get another job or need to start bringing work home with me (grant applications, or outside research). and in all honesty I will pry spend the first few months reading about the area I live so that I can be more helpful in the research room (an archivist who doesnt know the history of the area they are at is of little help to most researchers). so really the 40 hours a week will likely still be at least 50 while i catch up on my local history. ......Okay this was my tangent. I need to return to Colorado Digital Project again....laters
