Livin the Dream, I said!!

Hi:) My name is Muriel. I work in Athletic Compliance and the famous saying around our office is "Livin' the Dream". As one can imagine, being viewed as the "police" of the Athletic Department can sometimes make you feel like you're "livin' the dream" in more ways than one:) As you can tell, I enjoy people with a good sense of humor and sarcasm is appreciated. My background is in business, but have found a new love for the field of Higher Education after taking a course this past semester with Dr. Watson Harris called Issues in Higher Education. If I am not working in Compliance, I can usually be found mentoring student-athletes. I have found a passion in being able to say that I helped the kids that I work with not only realize the importance of their education, but also that they have the ability to succeed in the classroom if they are willing to put forth the effort.
If I am not working or studying, I can be found either in spin class, out playing any type of sport, shopping, enjoying my friends, trying new places to eat, or at a movie. The best movie I have most recently seen was Marley and Me. It may have been the saddest movie ever and I might not have cried that hard since my mom read Where The Red Fern Grows to my fourth grade class, but it was still a Great movie!! Along with going to movies, I love listening to live music. I will listen to any type of music that isn't too crazy. I'm more of a mellow, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Brett Dennen, Zac Brown Band girl myself, but I will admit that in my cd player at home is a Kings of Leon cd.
Well, that should give you a little background info on me. I look forward to posting blogs on topics for class the next few weeks and am grateful to anyone who takes the time to read them:)
