The year is winding down and all of a sudden meetings are sparsely attended. It’s a real pain when you still have a full week of stories needed but only three people show up to your meetings. It’s understandable of course. Finals are on the horizon and people are realizing they need to hunker down and get some work done. But the beast needs to be fed, so this is the time of year many editors here at TDG dread because, although we have finals and class work to make up, we find ourselves picking up more and more stories to fill our sections. Everyone wants to end the year with a bang, but it’s hard to do when you’re simply scraping the barrel for stories.
This is also an anxious time of year because we start thinking about the upcoming school year and where we need and want to be. Classes get more and more demanding as the years go on, but you also find yourself more attached to TDG and wanting to stay with the paper and the people you meet and become friends with there. Of course, all this depends on who becomes the next editor in chief. They get the ultimate power over who does what. We have very capable candidates applying this year, with very different managing styles and ideas for the paper. So what people wind up doing in the upcoming years will depend heavily on who becomes our editor for the 2007-2008 school year.
We simply have to wait and see.

Cry me an isthmus. I used to like your paper, but that's before I met a young chap named Johannes Gutenberg. Now I read anything else.
You used to be hip.
