Grateful

I woke up with this phrase in my head:

"We are grateful for the time we have been given."

I couldn't remember what movie it was from, and after some quick google time I realized it was from the Village. I don't know why it is in my head, but I'm kind of glad it is - taken out of context, it is a really nice phrase to live by.

School starts today. I'm feeling oddly cavalier about this semester - I need to get my anxiety up a bit and start freaking out a little so that I can get my edge on. I am taking two language classes simultaneously for the first time ever - French 320 and Arabic 122. This may hurt a little. I am also taking a history course - US and the Middle East, and a political science - the Politics of Oil. I've never taken ANY of these departments before at U of L. I feel like I'm about to dive into the swimming pool head first without knowing how deep it is.

Let's pray for at least 17 feet, ok?

Because right now work is great, home is great, family is great, I need this other major slice of the pie wheel of my life to be great.

Last year of undergraduate - commence, NOW!

About Me

My photo
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.

An overview of my life, a journal of my days, a sketchbook of my thoughts and observations.
