The Editor’s Desk: JAN ‘10 Edition

1/15/10-

We have been in school for a while now so it’s kind of pointless to talk about the holidays, but… my holiday was just fine, thanks for asking. I got a new phone for Christmas along with a lot of clothes, headphones, and a Tech Deck. For those of you who would like to know what type of phone it was, it’s a Samsung Freeform. For New Year’s I got $100 for a clothing store called Tillys. I bought some grey skinnies, a grey flannel, and a grey beanie. It was a really good time.

Over the holidays, a lot of things have changed at our staff. First off, our editor Donnie has resigned. Anyone interested in the position, talk to me. Also, our dearest friend Emely has changed schools, so we now have a new managing editor to take her place, my cousin, Simone. And no, I did not choose her. What position she was in was entirely her own doing, none of mine. Also we have a new position, photo managing editor, and Javion has been hired for the job.

A lot of things have been happening in the world now as well. First off, it has been Obama’s first year in office. Do you think he has been doing a good job? I think so, though I know that there are a lot of people who disagree. Also, there has been a major earthquake in Haiti. It wasn’t to long ago either. Just happened a few days ago. It’s very sad. Good and innocent people just hurt and some killed for no reason. All of it is very tragic.

On a lighter note, a few things are happening right now in our own community of St. Leo the Great. The annual crab feed is coming up, as well as Catholic Schools Week, and for all you 6th, 7th, and 8th graders out there, be on the lookout for a Valentine’s Dance very soon. And if you’re looking to get away from the real world, why not go out with some friends (or your family) and go see a movie? If you haven’t seen “Avatar” yet and have been wondering whether to see it or not, go read my review.
