Whew. Big Sigh. Breathe in. Breathe Out.
It is finally spring break and time to relax -- a full week without newspapers. Whew. After working pretty much every night this week, writing four editorials -- as opposed to the usual three -- and studying for my many exams and quizzes, I can join in the celebrations with everyone else.
As much as we love making newspapers for everyone, we can’t wait to get out of here. Along with putting up with classes where professors seem to pile on ALL the work into one week, we’re also up here until 1 a.m. every night.
Take last night for example: I left here around 1:30 a.m. and went home to cram for my Economics exam. (I’m blonde and anything with numbers goes right over my head, so this was not fun for me). About 4 a.m. my weariness set it. I took a “nap” until 7 a.m. and got up to study some more. I’ve been running around all day, between classes and a student leader lunch where I represented The Daily Gamecock, then back to class. I’ve had one hour all day to do nothing. That’s when I checked my e-mail, phone messages and got ready for tonight’s paper.
Whew. Just thinking about it makes me tired. So now we’re a good two hours into production with only a few more left, and I can’t wait for spring break to start.
Then next Sunday, when most people are returning to campus or getting over the St. Paddy’s hangover, we’ll be back for more hectic, busy, stressful nights at The Daily Gamecock. No matter what happens in Key West, you will see a new issue on the stands on March 19.
Until then, keep safe, we don’t want to print any terrible news about any of our students next week.
