Good things lately -
-Oatmeal or multigrain hot cereal with a touch of Blue Agave nectar and a scoop of canned pumpkin puree
-Good Earth Sweet and Spicy tea
-Brilliantly colored trees, changing tones by the day by the hour
-The satisfaction of learning Arabic - I really love it
-The crisp rustling of dry leaves as you walk or drive through them
-New old music - Ethiopiques, re-downloaded Led Zeppelin and John Lennon
-New t-shirt lines in Whole Body - cheap, comfortable, and gorgeous colors!
-Making contacts, networking, worldwide in the name of MEIS (Middle East and Islamic Studies)
-Naps on the couch in the late afternoon sun, curled up under my favorite ikat throw with Anna Karenin
-Watching people taking their dogs for walks - you can read so much when they are out like that
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.
