My dreams have been sparklingly surreal this past week. I don't know what change has occurred to cause them, but I kind of enjoy them. I look forward to falling asleep, in anticipation of the weird journey I'm about to embark on. Huh. I don't remember them clearly enough to go into any detail about them... they are borderline combo high-elevation/malaria medication weird though.
I'm almost registered for fall semester, which begins at the end of August. My lineup?
the Politics of Oil - Political Science, 300 level
US and the Middle East - History, 300 level
French Skills Overview - French, 300 level
Arabic - 122
Two language courses? What am I thinking? I am going to be forced into a highly disciplined semester, where I don't go home until all studying has been completed in my office or at the library. There will be no Whole Foods working except for on the weekends. Can she do it? Yes she can.
Then there are the first two classes, the PolySci and the History, both of which are on topics that are highly distasteful to me, but which are both quite important topics. Trust me, I'm only taking them because I have to, in order to complete a Middle East and Islamic Studies minor. I'd much rather be focusing on the cultural aspects of Islam and the Middle East, instead of the political. Alas. Forced expansion.

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.
