My name is Sarah Osbourne and I am from Roswell, GA and went to Centennial High School. Just going to go ahead and say I have two major issues with this class...
A. my mugshot... don't judge.
B. Calling Professor Dennis "Joe". Growing up in the South I think my parents hard wired me to have a problem with this. I may have to ease into it with Mr. Joe? Or maybe make up a cool nickname?
Other than these two things I am so excited for the class which seems very challenging but also very interesting!
My school didn't have any sort of newspaper or magazine, which I found embarrassing after I heard so many schools that did. However, they did have an extensive photography program which I became involved in early on. I chose my major when I heard about the photojournalism program, but I came to enjoy writing as well.
I am also an art history minor which became a passion of mine that in high school. I am a very visual learner so art history comes easily to me. Going along with that if I don't remember your name I apologize ahead of time. For some reason I am terrible with names but will remember everything we talked about and your face so please don't take it personally!
I am involved at UGA with Tri Delta sorority. I am also president of the Magazine club which I would LOVE everyone to come to. We hold meetings biweekly and hear professionals in the field speak about their experience and give advice. It is a great way to introduce yourself and make connections for future internships or jobs! Email me if you want to be added to the Google group at Sarahkoz2@gmail.com.
This semester I am also interning with BLVD. BLVD is a magazine in Athens that discusses culture, fashion, music, events and tons of other cool stuff. I am a photography intern and can't wait to learn more about the video and audio to go along with my photo experience in this class. BLVD put on lots of cool events around Athens so I will let everyone know when those come up, but you can also find out by following BLVD on Facebook and Twitter.
Another random love of mine is animals, especially dogs. I probably have close to 80 pictures in my phone of my family's yellow lab named Belle and my family's 90 lb blue Itlaian mastiff puppy (puppy being the key word) named Steel. Steel will eventually grow to be 150 pounds and I cannot wait since I love big dogs! I also live with my roommate's boxer named Emma who is quite possibly the goofiest dog ever. I have included pictures below and if anyone shares my obsession with dogs or any animals I would be glad to exchange photos anytime! Unfortunately this somehow happens a lot with people I meet at parties or downtown... :/
I also love sports, mainly college football and basketball. I have a blast every fall and attend as many away games as I can and every home game. I have concluded that if we don't beat Florida in football next year I will simply have no other option but to stay and be a fifth year. My parents don't support this.
Those are pretty much the basics but I can't wait to get to know everyone and thanks for reading!
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI think the mugshot turned out kinda cool with the screen savers behind you. Looks artsy. But what do I know? You're the art history major.
I totally understand the respect thing, but it's OK in this case. I'll talk to your parents if they have a concern :)
Glad to see you get the professional experience in magazines. Please promote it in class next time.
Editing notes:
1. Use "pound" not "lb."
2. E-mail not "Email"
3. Embed your e-mail for blog posts.
4. Periods go inside quotes ("Mr. Joe.")
