There were several 3 a.m. nights this week. This is the second time we have gone through production week and it was still just as brutal. Production week is like running a marathon that lasts five days. For some reason, no matter how prepared we are, it still results in endless nights and extreme stress.
Have you ever been on campus until 4 a.m.? Prior to this week I hadn't either. It was downright creepy, especially working in a basement that is rumored to be haunted. At one point, the late night janitors came downstairs to clean around 2 a.m. and were just as surprised to see us as we were them.
Despite facing extreme exhaustion, we pulled through and produced what I think is our best issue yet. I am very fortunate to be working with such a dedicated staff, and am extremely proud of all of our hard work. I hope I am this lucky to work with such a talented team in my first job after graduation.
Now, please excuse me while I get some much needed sleep.
