Here is Jenna's current situation:

Hmmm, a little bit about me, and where I’m at?! My NAIT diploma (with honours!) just arrived via snail mail, in Radio and Television Broadcasting. I am currently on contract as a production assistant for a local television morning show.

I am looking for a fun, fast, and fabulous… EVERYTHING!  I love to meet new people… I love to chat… and I love to give and get great advice/opinions (I mean not everyone else wants advice)…

I have travelled the United States with a performing arts group for three years. The Canadian Military and I got close and personal in a training exercise for embedded journalists, in the flat, dry, treeless plains of Suffield Alberta. I became a published writer in the The Petawawa Post.

I still love to perform, and am a member of Vintage Winterguard, and a founder of Preview Winterguard. I perform and teach a themed show; with modern, jazz, and basic ballet moves through the extension of music, and equipment…

Want to learn how to make a sock monster? Maybe find a picture of… anything (even true love)? Just, “Google” it!

Ever wondered when “Google ” become a verb? (Note – when ‘Googling’ it, the first hit tells me ‘Google’ was deemed the most useful word of 2002 and was officially added to the dictionary in 2006.)

My generation might be the most curious one yet. We need know everything - at the same time, we're impatient! It needs to be now, or even sooner. Social media fulfills that need for instant gratification. But what about accuracy? When rumours like Gordon Lightfoot and Britney Spears' deaths appear, they spread across the globe in mere seconds… all from a little tweet!

The vast capabilities of the internet has done wonders for our society. On a daily basis, I think, "What did I do before Google?" (I remember researching some then-seemingly pointless middle school map from an atlas published when my dad was in middle school. I received an almost-failing grade due to our family dog Tasha eating the page on eastern Europe). That said, the so-called World Wide Web allows you to dig a little bit deeper; to find correlating data, other opinions, suggestions, images, news articles, videos (because you really can’t believe EVERYTHING on the internet...right?!).

So if you really do want a how to book on sock monsters, you are looking for ‘the one’ or how to stretch your penny even a little bit further (For example, Servus Credit Union has free* banking for those under 25!)...just ‘Google’ it!
