I need to change what I'm doing, again.

It seems like I can't spend more than a few years doing the same thing before I get bored and need to move elsewhere or do something else for my job. This time I'm getting bored of my PhD program and research. This is seriously bad. I want to finish the degree, but I am not at all interested in what I did before, as in what I did last year is now deathly boring. Ugh. I need to have a chat with my adviser, but I'm scared as to what she'll say. It's not that I *can't* finish what I'm doing here... but at this rate it's going to take me forever to write the dissertation a topic I have completely lost interest in. I need help. I need to find something new to write about, and I need to find it QUICK. Problem is, it's going to be really difficult to find something that interests me enough and fits into the current program such that I don't have to go back to the drawing board. On the other hand, if I stick to the current topic, it might actually take me twice as long because I don't work on things I have no interest in. (When I do like something I pour a lot of time and energy into it and I am successful.) I hate being an indecisive, rootless, and restless/semi-ADD person.
