Hilarious!

Hello all, this is my very first post. I graduated two months ago with my BA in History and a minor in English from Texas Tech University. Unfortunately my cumulative gpa is a 2.94 and my history gpa is 2.8. My gpa is horrible I know, but it's not because I'm an idiot, I was just lazy. I never made the added effort to make an A instead of a B. I really just wanted to graduate. History has always been my passion, and I'm just now realizing that I want to make it my life. I want to be a professor and I want to conduct research. I've found myself doing nothing but reading historical books and texts since I graduated. Unfortunately to make my dream happen I need an MA and a PhD. Does anyone know of any schools that will take a chance on someone with a sub 3.0? I'm looking at Harvard Extension right now for my MLA, but I really don't want to move to Cambridge. I plan on taking my GRE soon, but I fear that I may not be accepted anywhere. I'm willing to go to any and all lengths to make this dream happen. I welcome any and all suggestions! Thanks in advance.
