Anyone out there?

2007-06-04T23:16:00.000-07:00

Does anyone still check this thing?

Hello, everybody

2006-08-31T21:43:00.000-07:00

Wow, it sounds like everyone is doing well. God is good, and He continually showers me with grace in my journalism career.

Next week I finish my 10 week internship at The Olympian in Olympia, Wash. Words can't express the experience I've gained. Neither can posts on a blog, but it's been wonderful. God charges me every day and directs my steps and pen. I love to boast in the things He does.

This fall I plan to apply for many internships throughout the country. He'll direct where I go. I graduate this March and plan to do internships for the spring, summer, fall and then maybe one or two more in 2008. Basically, I want to work my way up in America's top 100 newspapers, with The New York Times among others as my targets.

One reason for the internships is that I know I only have a couple of years to work at a big time paper. I'm waiting for my wonderful girlfriend, Brittney, to graduate from college in summer 2008. Then we plan to marry and find a mid-sized paper and town to settle down in, hopefully in Washington.

Anyway, that's my life story. I hope everyone is serving God, doing well and excelling still more.
Best wishes to all,
Caleb

Bonnie here. Still in college, but I've switched my major to Professional Writing. It's pretty cool and I'm looking forward to using some of the techie elements for journalism! I'm also still working at the NPR station. Love it, too. I hope everyone else is doing well serving God!

Still here?

Anyone still check this thing? If so, let me know what you're up to.

I got the position of Editor in Chief for The Chimes at Biola this year and got to help the Baptist Press for a week, covering some events surrounding the Southern Baptist Convention this summer. It was so much fun. Anyone else up to anything cool? Hope to hear from you all.

A post

Just figured I'd see what you're all up to.

One post per person, ok? =)

Christmas

2005-12-14T21:35:00.000-08:00

Have a Merry Christmas everyone! I miss you all!

Anyone doing anything interesting over break? I'm working at my hometown newspaper again. Fun stuff, just means no break. I'm tired of my breaks not really being breaks anymore! :(

I hope everyone is doing well. Talk to you later.

WJI Conference

2005-11-05T15:38:00.000-08:00

Sothey're holding this WJI Hispanic Journalist Conference here this weekend. I just got back from a few sessions and lunch and it makes me miss you all so much! I told Emily that it felt weird to be leaving the room without an assignment or anything. I also feel weird being in my dorm as opposed to the hotel. I got to see Dr. and Mrs. Case and Kim, so it was cool. I'll be going to another session at 5 p.m., followed by dinner and the keynote speaker. It should be fun. But it will be nothing like our last dinner cuz you all rocked! I feel like I don't hear from you all enough, so everyone post to let us all know how you're doing. Hope you're having a great day. I have to do some homework now so I can go to the other sessions tonight. Later.

Jeff Brazil's email?

Does anyone have it?

Hey Gang...

2005-09-27T21:50:00.000-07:00

I hope everyone is doing well. I haven't gotten my grade yet, but I just want to say hello. I hope everyone is surviving the semester or whatever they are pursuing at present.

Grades and stuff

2005-09-23T00:06:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone else got their grades from Dr. Case yet. I guess he won't give them out yet unless you ask him for them, so I asked him and got mine. I'm not particularly happy with them, but thought that if any of you had gotten yours, we could share.

And how is everyone's school semester (or whatever else you're doing) going?

Brittany, did you have to evacuate because of the storm?

Hope everyone is doing well. Keep in touch!

Here.

Congrats to Camille!

2005-08-19T17:43:00.000-07:00

She just got published. Hooray!

Aww ... I miss you!

2005-08-17T23:12:00.000-07:00

I was totally fine over the weekend, feeling like not much had changed but the people around me. But then, when Monday rolled around and I wasn't spending 12 hours in a classroom with you all, I got so sad. I then had to realize that I'd only be seeing two of you again for a while and it made me cry. I miss you all so much! Every time I see a white car with Texas plates or a white decal on the back windshield, or a greenish Mustang or a red car (and I've seen plenty of all, believe me) I get a little anxious, but then I realize it can't possibly be any of you. Sad.

So I hope everyone that got started back to school is doing well. I just got back today and do a week of newspaper training before classes begin. I'm super stressed about my money situation and being able to pay and being able to stay, so please keep me in your prayers as far as that goes. It has me almost to tears. I hope everyone else is having a great time too. You all better keep in touch, even if it's just through here, cuz you all became like brothers and sisters to me.

Talk to you later, time to go unpack. Then I have to go tomorrow to the hotel and see if they have my stuffed frog I thin I left in the room. Sad. I also get to go into Netzger and talk to financial aid. Fun. Hope you all have a great week!

Emily talks to Brazil. He was really helpful afterwards.

Girls in the kitchen at the party. We showed those dishes who were boss!

Table group at the party. They missed the relationship talk, but I heard you all had fun.

Tahanks for thebreak Laura!

Shepherd eats the octopus at the Chinese buffet. Ew!

Will someone else post their picture of the group from the buffet? I look awful in mine. For those of you who went, you missed a yummy dinner that we got for free. Yeah, Dr. Case picked up the tab. I think I should call him Grandpa Case from now on. He's my best friend =) Hehe. Hope everyone had a fun weekend!

How To Post Pictures

2005-07-30T13:50:00.000-07:00

Go to Blogger.com and login. In the dashboard, click the WJI LA 2005 Photo Blog link. Click the create new post option. This will bring you to the post editor window and toolbar.

The image icon in the post editor's toolbar lets you upload images to your blog. It looks like a little square landscape shot.

When you click this icon, you'll get a window that allows you to select an image or multiple images from your computer. Just click the "Browse" button to locate the ones you want.

If you click on the link for choosing a layout, you can customize the way your images will appear in your post. The left, center and right options will determine how the text of your post flows around the pictures. This size option lets you scale the pictures to different sizes within this posting area. Note that the picture will still be uploaded in its full size; this option just determines how it is scaled within the content of your post.

You can add captions, etc. in the post editor window under the html code-like jarble for each picture.

Once you have uploaded all the images desired you can make sure they all worked by clicking the preview link in the right corner of the post editor toolbar. If it looks good to go click, "publish post."

You can also change the time and date in the bottom right side of the post editor toolbar. I would recommend doing this for pictures from another day. For example, if the pictures are from Friday, change it to the 29th. Alright, I think that's all. Any questions?

Welcome.
