Growing up in Nashville especially in a music business family means growing up with knowledge that seems like common sense until later in life when you realize people spend thousands of dollars a semester trying to learn or pretending to learn while looking for some intern job on music row.

I was a lesbian for a semester at Wesleyan - it was a graduation requirement.

I dropped out of school for a semester transferred to another college switched to an art major graduated got married and for a while worked as a graphic designer.

I teach one semester a year and this year I'm just teaching one course during that semester a writing workshop for older students in their late 20s and early 30s people in our graduate program who are already working on a manuscript and trying to bring it to completion.

I spent a college semester in a small town in Italy - and that is where I truly tasted food for the first time.

Most everything I do revolves around tae kwon do. That said I like to be a typical girl and go shopping. I have three nieces and nephews that I like to hang out with. I'm also finishing my last semester at the University of Houston where I'm majoring in childhood education.

After a semester or so my infatuation with computers burnt out as quickly as it had begun.
