success, mediocrity, failure...three equally possible realities

Suffice it to say that graduate school is the craziest, hardest, most challenging, entirely overwhelming thing I have ever undertaken to accomplish.

In the process of six hours of non-stop laboring over twenty pages of economic/historical theory, I realized a few things:
1) anything less than everything I have will not be enough.
2) studying history makes me feel alive, even when it sucks.
3) mediocrity is a very real threat, because even my best may not be enough.
