I would suggest buying the 55-300. You now have the range to photograph darn near anything. Then go out and just shoot, shoot, and shoot. In a few months, you'll have a much better idea of what direction you want to go with your photography. Lots of lenses have been mentioned and most of them are pretty good. The Tamron 17-50 isn't much different then your kit lens. It is faster IF you really need f2.8 but are you really sure?
I use a Sigma 17-70C as a walk around. It has longer range then the kit lens, is sharper wide open and and can focus very close with it's "macro" range. Speaking of macro, that can often be a good choice for a second lens too. As for primes, the DA 35/2.4 and 50/1.8 are very inexpensive and very, very good lenses.
Lenses can be very expensive so buying glass that you want and need is what you want to do and will avoid having a camera bag full of dust collectors. If you have to ask "what lens should I buy?", you haven't shot enough with what you have yet.
