ahhhh! totally overwhelmed by work ... oddly enough, next week during finals will be alot better. but, things will lighten up ... tomorrow night: partying with jilly, friday: all day shopping with sarah, then, saturday: final staff meeting of the semester followed by the journalism banquet (pregaming before the banquet with hillary, of course) and finally, the infamous "after party."


Monday, April 25, 2005

what a week and weekend. things turned for the worst last week with work piling up, staff conflicts and worst of all, my europe trip being cancelled (i don't even want to think about it). things just plain sucked. then the staff had a complete turnaround and can you believe it, by spending even more time together! sooo weird. things started to turn around with the girls pregaming (a surprise fro the guys), which started right after all our meetings and before the game friday. the game was close and at times crazy, but definitely a blast. the party and bars afterward brought everyone back to their relaxed, goofy selves. after the looong night (& morning), the afternoon meeting saturday still was productive -- another surprise. schroeder's bar crawl was dreaded by most of us beforehand (we are getting old), but once it got started was completely worth it and one of the best times this semester -- even though it was interrupted by an over 8 hour Charleston hostage situation (read it in The Daily Eastern News tomorrow). the staff started to drift back into bicker mode (i blame liquor & lack of sleep), but when all was said and done, everyone worked together, got the job done and tomorrow's paper will be fantastic. i could not be more proud of everyone. the seperate photo section is amazing as well and the online slideshow is a must see. every single staff member contributed to the final product of Monday's edition. things always get worse before getting better i guess.
