I'm dreaming...

...of a white Christmas that is. And it doesn't snow here in Sicily. I was approved 8 days of leave in December, from the 21st until the 29th I think.

So I will be back home in Ohio for Christmas. Thank God.

Nothing much else to say :)

Picture uploading problems...

The actual problem being that I'm too lazy to go through and upload pictures one at a time. I just want to be able to upload a whole gallery of images and post it in my blog. So If anyone knows a good way to do that let me know and I will definitely post more pictures.

Moving on. Life has been kind of quiet here. Still just as busy but nothing exciting going on. Today wraps up Hispanic Heritage Month. Which is fine with me, because we've done 3 different stories on it, I will have done 2 of the 3 after my story today... kind of makes it hard to produce an interesting story when it's been done twice already.

Right now it's 7:40a.m. I'm about 2 hours early for work but it's ok, It gives me time to just breath before the work day begins. I usually come in with Lauryn when she goes live on the radio at six in the morning. She's been doing radio since about August I think. She has become pretty good at it. We're both getting better at our jobs and it's neat to watch that happen. It was pretty rocky for me when I first got here, but I finally feel like I'm starting to get into the swing of things.

In related news, while I was in Vicenza for my training the instructors liked one of my projects enough to tell me to make it into a spot(commercial). So I did that once I got back to the station and it was picked for Broadcast Product of the Quarter in the tv spot category. Which that's only out of the products made here at my station but I was pretty proud. AND! Lauryn made a radio spot about hydration and I'm pretty sure it got the BPOQ for radio spots... this is a copy of the email we recieved from our Officer in Charge about it:

Coop/Wolfe,
Your spot was friggin’ OUTSTANDING!!! I think you two need to
make some more of those. Very funny, informative and great production quality.
Keep up the good work!!!


And finally, I bought a new PC which I'm very excited about. I recently converted to the Mac side of the world but decided I missed my PC, so now I have both, a mac laptop and a PC desktop. I already know some program for PC for uploading batches of images too so that should make this blogging process run a lot smoother.

Here is an attempt at uploading the commercial I made. Leave me some feedback let me know if it takes too long to load and I'll try to upload a lower quality version...



If that works I'll try to upload some of my stories as well.
