Issue one, said and done!

I never thought I would get it done. When I was told I had three pages to do, I thought it would be cakework. Then I thought of all the work I had to do. It was not easy at all. Editing stories, making sure my writers were on the same page as I was, covering a Softball game tuesday, designing pages, placing ads, placing pictures (we had ideas but only one made it). The one question is why I procrastinated? I know exactly why. I know how to push myself. I know when it is time to get it done. Of course, I waited until the last minute to do it, but somehow it got done. Over the past two days, I could see my body reacting to the tension I was putting on myself. Going to sleep around 3 a.m., waking up around 9 a.m., only to hit the snooze button and sleep for another hour, which really did not make a difference. I thought math class in the morning would be easy, but its tougher than I expected. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the last time I took a math class was FIVE years ago! It doesn't get easier. When I finished around 8:30 p.m. wednesday night, I was relieved. Just like last semester, I view the first issue as the hardest. Of course, three pages is a new step for me, and it got done. The only thing I dread is knowing that I did not get to publish all of the spring athletics with all of the pages I had. Two stories did not come in, and I had one extra story. Somehow I had taken on more ads, and I had to use them. It is a good thing I took them all, because I really needed them.
