Second Half

I discovered something fun last night. Most people, when taking Ambien either sleep like the dead, or sleep walk. I do neither. I fall asleep quickly (if I'm lucky) and then... I sleep-write. I keep a journal beside my bed that I write in about once a week. Last night I decided to write in it. I discovered pages of scribbling, mostly illegible and nonsensical, that I have NO memory of writing. I couldn't have been more mystified and pleased. My subconscious is clearly screaming for me to put pen to paper more often.  

A righteous reason to keep a journal beside one's bed!! (And to take Ambien I suppose.)

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.
