Hey Folks.
First off, I must say that it was nice
seeing some of you at Winter Retreat. I
thought that it was a very nice relaxing
weekend and I hope that you guys all
feel the same. I am very excited about
the upcoming summer. A lot of the
activities and trips we will be taking
have been planned. Our next plan of
attack is to get on the phone and start
making the reservations. I encourage
each of you to keep up with the monthly
assignments. I do not want to see
anyone not be able to join us this
summer or get to go on a fabulous final
trip all because of a few short homework
assignments.
As most of you know recruiting and
interviewing is in full swing right
now. The final interviews and
selections will be made within the next
couple of weeks. I believe that we have
had a great group of students apply with
many of them who would fit great into
our “family.” This is definitely my
favorite part about working for UBMS,
but it is also my least favorite part
because of the fact that we have to turn
down some really good candidates. I
want to thank those of you who spread
the word about the program and
encouraged these students to apply.
And finally, I want to close with
this. Most of you guys got to listen
what Tim said about he and I being there
for you and being available to talk. I
just want you to know that he truly
means that and so do I. You guys are
awesome and I can’t tell you how much I
appreciate working for you guys and
enjoy getting to know more and more
about you each day. If you guys ever
need anything, even if it is just
someone to talk to for a little bit, do
not hesitate to call me.
Take Care and enjoy the beginning of
Spring!

UBMS Photo Page
Heather Holland
came up with the idea of sharing summer photos with one another
through the internet. She has setup a webpage through
photobucket.com in which UBMS participants can share their photos
and order a CD of photos if they desire. The following are
directions and a link so that you can view and upload your own
photos.
-
save your pictures to a folder on your computer
-
go to
www.photobucket.com
-
put in these two items:
sign in name:
UBMSsummer2005
password:
bubba
-
click on browse and find the folder your pictures
are in
-
double click on the picture (it will bring you back
to the main page) then click submit
-
it’ll take some time
depending on how fast or slow your computer is, but your picture
will load up there.
-
keep adding pictures from the summer, the final
trip, anything to do with UBMS

Alumni Alley
In a recent interview, Tanya
Barnet shed some light on what it's like to be in college:
Q: What is
your favorite UBMS memory?
A: There are really too many to count. Watching the
sunset over the Arizona skyline with people I knew I'd
cherish the rest of my life sticks out. Also, when
Matt told the bus driver to write him up. That was awesome.
Q: What courses are you taking and what college do you
go to?
A: Well, I'm attending Ohio University, and this is my
second quarter. I'm taking 20 hours, which I strongly advise
against... But I'm taking Precision Language (a grammar
course), History of the Middle Ages, Statistics, Social and
Political Philosophy, and Logic. Just trying to get those
basic curricular things out of the way before I delve into
journalism and political science full time.
Q: What do you plan on doing with your degree once you
get out of college?
A: I want to work for a newspaper; the size of the
circulation is unimportant. I hope to mainly copyedit,
though I wouldn't be averse to reporting a bit of news here
or there. Most other journalism majors I've talked to think
both of those things are boring -- their loss.
Q: What is your favorite thing about college?
A: The freedom! Of course, with that comes
responisbility, but I think that most of us in the UBMS
program already have had a healthy helping of that, coming
from families that need everyone to do their part to get by.
I love being able to wake up in the morning and do things
according to my schedule.
Q: How does college differ from High School?
A: Responsibility vs. Freedom. You have loads more of
both now, and it's up to you to balance them. The classes
are harder, and your professors do not care if you have
papers due in all your other classes and 3 exams coming up.
Q: What advice do you have about college to those who
are still in high school?
A: Again, it's all about responsibility: you have to
learn to manage your time, and for the love of god, study!
You may have breezed through high school, but it doesn't
work like that here. You need to get a feel for your
professors -- do they expect you to concentrate on lectures,
reading from the text, or something else entirely? Also, try
and watch what you're eating. I've had pizza more times this
week than I can count, and it's only Tuesday. Be good to
your bowels, and they'll be good to you. And on a personal
note: watch the booze. It's everywhere here. Be smart like
Mama Tanya and stay away from it.
