Have I lost my sanity at last?

Remember when I told you to keep track of how long my sanity would last?
Well, it ran out earlier this week. Thanks largely in part to catching strep throat and missing class for three days. My life will consist of reading from textbooks for the rest of the week to catch up in coursework.
It’s only February, and I already wish the year was over so I could go somewhere exotic for the summer. Well, far from Columbia anyway. I feel that because of such a small staff and lack of interest from kids on campus, the news sections should merge to save the strength of our journalism.
Unless this is done soon, I fear the paper will suffer not just from bad design, but bad journalism as well.
With coursework getting heavy and the start of my internship, I can’t keep going at the rate I’ve been going. My health over the past week has shown me that I can only do so much.
Working for a college paper is interesting. I get to see the things my professors warn against in class. It makes me wonder if I was the only one who was listening that day.
Change defines our lives, a refusal to change in today’s world, especially for newspapers, can prove fatal. We’ll see how this one continues to adapt.
