The writing and photography of Mandy Joy Poole
I was very suprised and pleased to hear that I won the NL Blogroll’s Blog of the Year in the personal/journal category. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; this blog is my baby. Originally travellinginfinity had started out being a 365 project – a photo a day for a year. I didn’t…
Today marks my parents 27th wedding anniversary. There have been some ups and downs, to which I can certainly vouch for, and may have been the cause of…but I know my parents are glued for life. Here are some things I enjoy about my parents. The way Dad says “Mudder, Mandy wants you” when I’m…
I’ve walked into this picture a trillion times. Each time it means something new and different to me. This is a panoramic view of my grandmother’s drive & house. I hope I never tire of home.
It’s been ten whole days since I posed a blog. Clearly there must be a lot of stuff going on in my life, right? haha. Well I’ve been studying pretty hard for exams; conquered two today, Newfoundland History and International Issues. I found NL History quite difficult, but I’m pretty sure I passed it anyway.…
I couldn’t really think up anything clever as a headline this time. I’m really tired tonight but I decided to post a little something anyway. I did some Christmas shopping in Corner Brook today – all finished! The last present I had to get was the final piece to Mom’s present. Now I’m done. I…
In between my 15 page research paper, my 22 slide presentation, my 30 cue cards, and rocking out to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I found the time to get outside and take this. Just for you.
Sorry blogland for being so distant, I’ve just had a LOT of work to do – and I’m still doing it. I’m going to be on hiatus for the next few weeks probably, unless I feel like procrastinating again like I am tonight. I’ve been busy with my research paper on the offshore fishery, with…
I realize it’s not even Halloween yet, but I just finished watching one of the films in my top 10. So, in anticipation of the glorious holiday season, here they are! 1. A Charlie Brown Christmas I’ve watched this one every Christmas for as long as I can remember. I don’t think you could run across…
I try not to use this blog as a really personal venue, but tonight at 11:37 p.m., on a Friday after having a painfully long midterm exam week, I find myself in a very sad state. Try as I might, I couldn’t get my dog Kimo or my grandfather out of my head today. If…
Thanksgiving. Ironically enough, the thing I’ve always been the most thankful for is the thing that always seems to be the greatest distance away from me during Thanksgiving. Family. I miss being with my parents, my aunts, and my grandmother. This year especially though, I miss my grandfather. Though he wasn’t that vocal about this…
So if you’ve been checking back to my blog fairly often you’ll notice that I’ve changed the theme. A lot. I can’t help it! I’m just too picky, and I can’t stay with anything for too long without getting annoyed. I’m just a self-confessed organizational freak! there, I said it. And I spent the day…
Was going to attend my first ever live concert tonight at CSLC 2011 but I missed it. Our Journalism class is in Corner Brook covering the Student Leadership Conference for Canadian youth that’s happening at the Pepsi Centre. Tonight Hey Rosetta! and Sherman Downey and the Ambiguous Case are playing. I was massively looking forward to that…
It’s common knowledge to hear a cup of coffee called a cup of Joe; What do you call a cup of tea? just a random thought I had. I’m drinkin’ a freshly steeped cup now with some smooth caramelized honey. I’ve been in this thought process for the last 90 minutes that blogging is super cool. I…
As a part of the Internet Journalism course I’m taking in my second year of J-school we have to make ‘professional’ blogs. I post a wide variety of things here on Travelling Infinity, and to be truthful, alternating my way of thought & type to make this blog strictly professional is something I’m not ready…
I have this theme of writing three completely unrelated things in my headlines. Well, they’re related in the way that those were three things that made my day. Part 1: Shameless plug I made it to the 2011 Bloggers Choice Awards (thank you, thank you!) The awards are based on a few things, such as…
This photo was taken August 20, 2005. At that time I had a Kodak EasyShare camera, 4.0 mega-pixels. So how did I get a detailed picture of the Moon? easy. I used a telescope that I had been given the previous Christmas. I just held (very steadily) the camera lens up to the eyepiece of…
