Well, it's been eight months since I started my Broadcasting program, and I am glad to say that I have officially finished Year One!!

Wootage!

Even though I have two years left to go, I still think that it's awesome that a third of my college career is done.

I can't believe though what I've done in the past 8 months that is sooo awesome.  I've met some really cool people, started a really fun, award winning, and becoming a popular podcast, also I learned so much about my eventual career.  Wow life can change drastically in eight months.

Yep, I rule.  LOL

Toodles!

P.S.  I don't know what my final marks are, but they are on par with last term even a little bit better.

Hey everyone, school has been a bit hectic lately, but I must tell you about what has happened to me in the past few hours.

First of all, Mike and I were nominated at our school for our Broadcasting end of year awards called the GRAFITI's.  We were nominated for best Specialty Show on 90.1 FM The school's radio station.  We thought we had a good chance.  We knew some of the shows that wanted to be nominated and had sent in submissions along with us.  We thought that there would be at least 5 or 6 nominations.  Little did we know it was much more important than that.

First of all, this was the first year the award existed.

Second, apparently the professors were the ones who voted on who won.

Thirdly, there were only three nominations.  The profs chose one show for each of the three years in the Broadcasting course.  So they chose our show as the best first year show, which is awesome.

So today Mike and I got out our Sunday best and attended the 2 and a half hour award ceremony.  It was fun.  I laughed, I cried, it moved me Bob.

And we won!  We won!  We Won!  WE WON!!!

Suffice it to say we beat out all the entries and won out of almost 20 shows the best Specialty Show.  Man were we stoked!!  We were told by tons of people that Mike and I deserved it, and even some teachers gave their congrats.  It was sooo surreal.   We beat out Third and Second year shows!  A first year show doing that?  Come on that's just awesome!

I would love to write up a short story about the event, but I am sooo hyper right now that I can't get my thoughts down into a cohesive story that has a beginning middle and end.

I may or may not write about it.  I want to write the story that seems interesting instead of it being, “Then this happened, and then this happened.” kind of deal.  I'll have to figure something out.

Suffice it to say thank you to everyone who listened to our show and supporting Mike and I throughout these past few months.

We did take tons of pictures and a video of our acceptance speech so be prepared for that soon.

At any rate, I'm going to go admire at the trophy that we won.  It looks cool.  LOL

Toodles!

Well, the voting is over, the contest is closed, and there can only be one winner.  My utmost congratulations goes out to Brenna Pierson on winning the G4TechTV Tech Junkie contest.  It came really close, and I'm glad to say that I went up against the best, and I'm glad I'm beaten by the best.

I also want to take the time to thank everyone who voted for me over the past weeks, it really means a lot when I get contacted by someone that I know and say, I voted for you.  I feel bad that it didn't pay off in the end, and I'm sorry that all that hard work didn't get the end result we all wanted, however like I said, I wanted to go up against the best, and the best won.

Am I upset?  Of course, but hey it's what happens.  Much like someone who loses at the Oscars, I will take this experience and learn from it.  It's the only thing I can do.

So in conclusion, anyone want to hire a Broadcasting student for the summer?  LOL

Once again congratulations to Brenna, and I know she is going to have an awesome summer.

Toodles!
