What am I doing?
I've been feeling discontent with my lot these days. Maybe it is post-travels let down, maybe I've been watching too many episodes of "24" back-to-back, but malcontent has been my status of late. My constant thought? "I need my life to have a dose of adrenaline mixed in, at all times."
So I just contacted the USMCR (United States Marine Corps Reserve), requesting an application for a 2 week job opening they have in Quantico this next year. Literally it would only be for 2 weeks, but I wonder... how would it feel, putting on the uniform again?
Actually, I get chills thinking about it. I think I miss it.
I know I miss it. Two weeks wouldn't be bad, it would be a nice little taste. I'd know if I missed it or not.
Don't get all excited all you alls, I've only requested an application. I haven't even filled it out.
Yet.
About Me
- Ann Marie
- I would be remiss if I didn't extend my gratitude to the Fulbright program for this jaw-dropping opportunity, as well as to the Honors Department at the University of Louisville, for its hard work in ensuring my selection as an English Teaching Assistant to Oman for the 2012-2013 year. My brief bio - Born and raised in Amboy, WA, I attended Clark College in Vancouver, before going on to the University of Washington in Seattle where I earned a BFA in Fine Arts - Oil Painting in 2004. I then attended USMC Officer Candidate's School, and accepted a commission as a second lieutenant in the summer of 2005. I served for four years as a logistics officer, stationed in Camp Lejeune and deployed worldwide. After the conclusion of my commission, I moved to Louisville, KY where I attended the University of Louisville, achieving a BA in Art History and a minor in Middle East and Islamic Studies.
