Writer's Block: Job search

My current job is a grad student, so I'm not sure if it counts. I do love school, but I'm SUPER frustrated at the moment because I don't have a topic OR an adviser yet. It's only week three, but one of my classes is supposed to guide my thesis along... even though I know everyone else is shifting around on their topics/advisers, I still feel frustrated when all of our assignments are about getting stuff done for our thesis proposal... when I have yet to have a topic to write about. And I know I could write about something that I'm interested in, but it's doubtful that I'll end up doing it. And I really hate repeating work. :P
I do believe there is a dream job, though I'm not entirely certain what that is. Nothing is perfect, but you can still be happy.
Five to ten years from now hopefully I have my PhD and am a research professor working with either marine mammals or cephalopods.
