What's there to do?
Somewhere in your mind you are now aware of doing something related to space. The stimuli may have been anything from a sci-fi movie, a Stephen Hawking book, a Discovery channel series or just the love for the night sky.
This may have brought you to organisations like SEDS, Planetary Society and SGAC and meet other people like you. Simultaneously, via emails, you are aware of a few things that the people on your mailing list are doing - building rockets, designing satellites, planning space events etc. This may be you first awareness of oppertunities available.
Online resources like Wikipedia help in clarifying words that you must have read in emails You may raise doubts which others could not help clarify via the mailing list. You might even consult your college library or your Professors.
This lateral drift in the early days creates an awareness of oppertunitie and the specification of interest.
