only have a minute right now, so:
i wouldnt worry so much in your second semester about what might be possible at the far end of your ride through uni...i would just explore what seems interesting to you, and work out a direction from within that process. seriously. by the time you get toward your senior year, your interests will probably have changed a bunch of times.
on the other hand, its not so bad to try to have the lay of the land up front. i just wouldnt stress so much about it yet: you have plenty of time to do that later.
as for research--there are different types of history, each of which comes with its own understanding of what constitutes resreach etc. the stuff i mostly do is closer to philosophy than straight history--archives are ok, but i dont want to have to live in one.
fellowship stuff will have to wait for a response until i have more time to sit and try to think about things. most assume that you are a junior i think, but i'll defer until next chance i get to post here saying more
as for being a "huge resource"--while that's flattering----mostly it is a gig, you know? just dont build me up in your mind as i might not know everything you might ask about.
