I've been kind of crabby and stressed today, but I can't really use homework as an excuse since I am taking a break from it at the moment. |D Got four hours of sleep on a couch, which really isn't the best place to sleep. Though, in general it has just been a really long day. Especially the talk with our journalism adviser after school . She and I talked for about two hours, and in that time she came up with The Plan. I am not sure how I feel about The Plan, which is, in short:
Fire the editorial board. All of us.
Her reasoning behind this makes sense, but...well, part of it is that she wants Journalism Guy to step it up, since he is the Editor-in-Chief and knows more than all of us. She is also a little upset about how he has been treating her.
She is going to re-hire us (perhaps even the new students, if they do well enough) based on a challenge. Put on the same level as the reporters, we have been divided into groups of four, and will have to have a complete story proposed, written, and designed by Friday. One thing she also made a note on is that she expects certain leadership qualities in each of us former-editors to come out.
I am concerned, but I think that I'll be able to manage. Fortunately she won't pull this until after next week, when this next issue has been distributed.
Tomorrow before school I'm going to talk to our Bible teacher about giving Soccer Kid some of the points back for group participation. Even if he was late doing his stuff and getting an article, he did more than everyone else. They all just copied my notes, aha. But since I have pretty good leverage with the teacher, he probably won't think twice about giving points to Soccer Kid.
