16 hours spent in the defender lab working with everyone to get this paper going.

let me just say that i am so proud of everyone--it was rough going for awhile--ok, a great deal of the time--but it's coming together. it's not the type of issue where i'm going to sit back and want to celebrate its publication, but it is the type of issue where i'm going to be able to pat everyone on the back and say, "know what? this issue really means something. and we put it together. and we did a great job with it and we should be so proud."

julia roberts states in "notting hill" that "newsprint is forever." one of the reasons i love what i do.

on an amusing note, apparently i (along with my housemates, who rock my world!) am a member of the "student leadership of st. mike's." i still maintain that a key factor in this is the fact that i'm the face of the print journalism this semester (or year, depending on if i get suckered into sticking around bergeron second semester--or if i decide i want to beat myself up again--i mean, if i decide that i can't keep myself away--i am a sucker for punishment... :)

so tired. and kirk class at 10:30, at which i know i will be a zombie...
