Today’s front page also celebrates the two conference winners:
In the fall we also saw the women’s volleyball team win a conference championship. There are rings all over the place.
Two classes today. In one we discussed television broadcast scripts. In another we discussed commercials. I have students writing a commercial of their own creation. Any existing product, any living people, any music they wanted, any theme or catchphrases they wanted.
So today I heard a bit about the commercials. And they sound really good. You’d want to watch two or three of them attentively, and how often do you say that about commercials?
We had the penultimate critique meeting tonight. Next week the students will produce their last Crimson of the year. I think after that we’ll just have a big party. Or at least some finger foods and bad jokes.
Then, next week, there’s the big picnic, the last paper and the beginning of the year’s goodbyes.
A handful of people will be leaving as seniors, people I’ve known since they were freshmen.
You have fun watching them grow. You enjoy watching them go. You wish it wasn’t so long between sending them off and hearing about their successes.
We do like hearing those success stories.

I’m going to have to write about some people’s success stories soon.
