Late Nights Ahead

Soon after I posted yesterday, I made my way over to the SUB (Student Union Building) to meet with the rest of The "Journal Krew". I ran into the Chief Editor and last years A&E Editor while they were going into the Gorsebrook pub. We (along with the former VP Academic, and a newbie proofreader) had dinner before getting to the tedius (yet fun) task of putting the paper together - as we do every Monday night. Hanging out together at the pub on Monday nights should be the new rule for The Journal Krew. I think it supports our team dynamic... ;-)

So basically, I was at The Journal office from about 6:00 pm to 12:15 am. This may seem like a long stretch, but it's not uncommon. And our poor Chief usually ends up staying up ALL night tying up the loose ends long after we leave.

Anyway, I didn't go to sleep until 2:30 am this morning, and unfortunately I have an 8:30 am Retail Managent class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Needless to say, after my class subsided all I wanted to do was lay down for a bit, but instead I decided to start reading Robinson Crusoe -which must be finished by the 20th. If I didn't begin reading it now I might end up falling behind since the novel is 432 pages of fairly small text which was written in 18th century prose. It's actually interesting so far, and I should have no problem finishing it on time. It strikes me as an antiquated version of "Cast Away" with Tom Hanks.

Besides that, I went grocery shopping (bought some really nice Navel Oranges... Go Vitamin C!) and then went for a run. This summer I ran the streets of my subdivision quite often, and sadly I've been neglecting it ever since I've arrived in Halifax (a week and a half ago). If I don't exercise I tend to get very stressed, so therefore, I strapped on my mp3 player, tied up my hair, ran down the stairs of my building, and soon realized - I am completely unfamiliar with the streets around this school (living on campus poses this type of ignorance since there are few reasons to go very far). So what did I do, you ask? Naturally, I ran right over to the Tower (the SMU sports complex) and hopped onto an available treadmill for 25 minutes. It felt sooo good.

In other news: I was unable to talk to "S.Pace" yesterday, as he was out of his office, so hopefully he will be around tomorrow. Also, tomorrow I am interviewing a fellow student entrepreneur for next weeks MissBiz column. I'll give you the low down on that in my next post.

Keep Bizzy
