Swine Flu Scare April 27, 2009

When I read the CNN story about the swine flu, I’m not going to lie, it made me very nervous. I am about to go out and buy a bunch of face masks and stay inside for a very long time. I am still wondering how long it will take the virus to spread, and hoping the CDC will be working on overtime to control the virus. This is what scares me the most, “When the flu spreads person-to-person, instead of from animals to humans, it can continue to mutate, making it harder to treat or fight off because people have no natural immunity.” Also the fact that 103 people died in Mexico. That’s a big number. That’s my whole Public Relations class…

Fun with PhotoFunia April 21, 2009

After reading about this website on Barbara Nixon’s website, I decided to have some fun of my own.

 

 

 

 

 

While I had a lot of fun creating these pictures, it also made me realize how easy it is to manipulate this kind of program and potentially get someone in a lot of trouble. It is so easy just to put anyone’s face on anyone’s body. This could be disastrous for someone who values their reputation.

Spring Break March 25, 2009

I, unlike many other college students I know was not looking for a week of partying and unmentionables in Panama City or Cancun, I was really looking to just relax on the beach for a week with my closest friends. As a result, I had the best spring break I have ever had. As “trip planner,” I had booked my seven friends a condominium in the Ocean Walk Community. Ocean Walk is located in New Smyrna Beach, a quiet community south of Daytona Beach. With two pools and easy beach access, Ocean Walk was the perfect vacation spot for us. We read on the beach all day and relaxed at the pool all night. We saved money on food by cooking most of our meals. Next year, I think we are going to step it up a notch and go on an all inclusive cruise through the Caribbeans.
