"What we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!"
Editor'sNote  The Headquarters - 1 November 2008 We are only two full months away from 2009, and still, 2008 has not yet sunk in. Within the warped confines of my skull (my mind has its own time zone), it is still late 2008, and I am awaiting the new year with a party hat perched upon my head and an eager hand gripping onto a can of silly string. Of course, in reality, I'm not a silly string kind of person...or maybe I am, I just haven't discovered it yet. One thing's for sure, it has been one hell of a year - in both the good and bad contexts of it. But I'm back at school, and so are the rest of the staff. Swamped with a mountainous heap of projects, assignments, deadlines, of which include making an entire hardcopy high-fashion magazine. As if TSC isn't enough: this is first hand experience, Sir! I won't follow sheep and whine (baa?) about how I absolutely cannot stand the thought of going to school. I'm kind of happy to admit that school is...exciting. I love the joyous glow I get upon completing an assignment, no matter how small. And hey, I gotta admit, I'm lucky: my projects actually involve very interesting things. Like, you know, reading Chuck Palahniuk and reviewing movies and music and going to concerts (okay well, the last part's my own life). But I am not here to make you feel horrible about your stampede of deadlines. I am here to help you achieve Nirvana. Rule numero uno: find something to look forward to every single day to get you through it. Make it small. But make it be of golden value. Suggestion: "At the end of this horrendous accounts lecture, I will go on to Ficwad.com and read the update to that amazing fan-fiction. If any." If that doesn't work, get a friend, grab some chocolate, and go traditionally rambly. Until December, adios.
