Loooong day

Holy crap am I tired.

I got up at seven, got everything together, whipped up a quick hard salami sandwich to eat in the car, and left for biology class early. This was nice, because I didn't feel like I had to rush while I was driving, and in fact, I got there about ten or fifteen minutes early. Class happened, and we got out half an hour early (which led to some "I wanna take a nap but I can't" time), then psychology. Psych got out early as well, so I went and bought the textbook I need for my art class. Then lunch with Augusta at the Eagle's Nest, which was great, as usual - Eddie makes a mean sausage egg & cheese roll! Had some fun hanging out 'til her next class started, and then came time for the real work: editing for the newspaper.

Now, editing newspaper articles is really sort of a fun thing for me, and if you have to be doing a lot of work on a laptop, the upstairs lounge at WCCC is that place to do it. Plus, I got to talk to Augusta a little between her classes. But man... it took so long! I was there long after she left for home at five. It was very nearly 7:00 PM by the time I finally got out of there. On the plus side, I did get it all done, and I managed to track down Mr. Homa, as well. Looks like the next issue of the Campus Racket is ready to go! Considering the disastrous mess that my management of the paper last semester turned out to be, I'm very happy that things are going so smoothly with the new team I've got on my side this semester. It helps when you're not trying to do all the work yourself!

It's gonna be kinda sad leaving the team at the end of this semester, but at least I'll feel like it'll be in good hands - whoever ends up taking over as editor-in-chief is going to have an über business manager, reliable layout in the form of Mr. Homa, and of course, Professor Hillyer. She'll keep things whipped into shape, I'm sure. But you know what I think bodes best for the paper? It's the fact that the student body knows we exist now. We've got a little support finally, and people are sending us almost more articles than we can use, which is great - big step up from last semester, when we had to basically squeeze rocks for articles and still got almost nothing. A lot of people graduated in the last year, and with no paper getting printed last semester, a lot of the new students didn't even know we had one. Not great for submissions.

Now to see if I can land an editing position at one of Rowan's newspapers once I'm there...

Other than that, not much going on today. I think Raven and I will be doing something tomorrow. Considering how physically exhausted I am right now, I think I could use a day to relax and just hang out. I was originally going to devote today's post to a more in-depth look at Sins of a Solar Empire, but when I was planning that, I also wasn't expecting to be at the college for nearly twelve hours. So maybe next time? Yeah.
