In about 10 days classes will start. When classes start, we move off our leisurely once-a-week summer production and move into the hectic schedule of publishing daily. I'm excited and nervous for the school year to start. I'm excited because this is my last year ⎯ hopefully ⎯ and I feel like I've got a faily decent schedule lined up. I'm nervous because I remember how difficult it was to go from a weekly paper to a daily paper last fall. I'm not saying I don't think the staff can handle it, I know they can.
