I could get used to this... day three. Oh me!



Photo Description: Clinton H. and I at the Venue working ... he's one of the guys on our "award winning" audio team! One of the men on our team, I found out today, did all the audio work for "Barney" on television -- which I watched growing up wow! Small world and so interesting to learn the history of people's work experience! You'd never know!

"Team" means something new to me every moment I work to make this television broadcast of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics a reality.

Talk about a resume' builder. I'm blown away. I can't imagine explaining this experience in a future job interview: the life-lessons I'm gaining are innumerable!

Olympic Opening Ceremonies coming so soon!

Made It to Vancouver



Photo Description: a sign that welcomed me coming into Vancouver, near the IBC. And yes, I did edit it. The colors were not naturally that vibrant...

I'm laying in bed of a bunk right now ... its 12:34 pm the time i'm used to it being ...

But here its really a lot earlier I guess.

I got to talk to Adrian on the web cam tonight - thank God for skype. It was such a blessing to see a friendly, smiling face that I know!

Vancouver is a young city. I like it.

Now to bed. I'm exhausted. Will explain my day today in detail ... tomorrow.

night world.

Here we go...





I have various items packed in bags scattered around my apartment ... why?

I'm headed to the 20-10 Vancouver Olympics!

I will be working for OBSV (Olympic Broadcasting Services Vancouver) doing broadcast media ... audio ... aside from that I'll have to give you more details later when I actually know what all the job entails.

Friday night I'm meeting up with one of my friends from Asbury College who's also working there ... Will and I won't have cell phone service up in Canada because on AT&T its a little overpriced -- not worth it. So we'll use Skype to meet up.

It's a strange feeling first of all traveling to another country alone and second of all knowing I don't have a cell phone to use ...!

I will leave in the morning to head home and then leave from the airport early Friday morning to fly to Chicago then Seattle and finally Vancouver!

Everyone at work at WYMT has been so supportive and excited for me to go ... I know its a hard time for this to happen ... February is ratings in the news industry ... but yet they all know this is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I'll have ... something I'll probably never get a chance to do again.

I'm hoping to accomplish a lot while I'm away ... for a month!
Then come back to Kentucky and to work at WYMT refreshed and rejuvenated!

As for now ... its time for bed ... tomorrow starts the beginning of a great adventure!
