News, an available journalist and sights from our nation's capital
Posted: January 06, 2009
A few things have happened since my last update. I got engaged to my wonderful girlfriend of many years, Noel. She graduated that same day and is now in the rat race of looking for a job as are many young journalists. She has experience as a writer for The Gainesville Sun and section editor and copy desk chief for The Independent Florida Alligator. Noel also has experience in photography, videography and coding XHTML and CSS.
Moving on though, a small, but fun opportunity came my way about a month ago. I was asked to teach a lab for an online journalism class in the University of Florida's journalism school. An adjunct lecturer at a major university at age 21, how 'bout them apples? A post about this will be up soon, and I will surely be chronicling my adventures throughout the semester.
Moving further, over the holidays, Noel and I went to Washington, D.C. We drove from Gainesville, which took about 12 hours each way. It was fun as hell.
Here are some pictures we took with my SLR and her point-and-shoot while in D.C.:
