Editing: WOW!

Holy crap.
It seems that each semester, we always somehow forget exactly how quantitative it is to run a magazine.  By that, I mean that we have tens of pieces that we need to forge through, tweaking until we feel that they're just right.  And I don't know what I'd do without our editing staff; Michelle, Dan, and Amanda have to be three of the smartest and most perceptive editors I've ever met.  And the comments on the drafts are endless sources of nerdy humor.

Don't worry, though.  We're not poking fun at you, we just start to go a bit delirious with the amalgamation of commas and periods that editing seventy pieces inevitably becomes.

Anyway, the issue is really shaping up.  Molly, next semester's EIC and the brains behind the amazing covers that we've had, is going to be doing a production orientation next week so we can get the ball rolling.  It's weird how deadlines that seemed so far away planning have literally snuck up and arrived with a bang. 

Until next late night update.
