December 10, 2003 From The Editor Letter From the Editor Wow, the holidays are over, isn’t it great to be back? My holidays were fantastic. You will never believe what happened. I fell in love. That's right, the words me and love in the same sentence. Never thought youd see the day did ya? Well let me tell you all about the new wonder of my life. I fell in love with rest and relaxation. I fell in love with freedom. I fell in love with daytime TV. I fell in love with late nights and late rising mornings. | fell in love with turning the ringer off on my phone. I fell in love with Conan O’Brien all over again. But most of all, I fell in love with my future. I spent a lot of time deciding what I really want...no really, this ain't the booze talking. I wish I could tell you all of my reve- lations but that would be no fun. You need to look on and watch my dreams grow with each move I make, or each article I write. Isn't transition exciting? Well, it’s another semester and the sec- tion editors can’t wait for their mailbox- es to fill up with emails from fans and maybe even some articles. Have I told you lately how much I love you? I really, really do. New Year's resolution: be nicer. Ohhhh I am so setting myself up to fail! Write in to the mailbag: (the_editor57@hotmail.com) and tell us your New Years resolutions...come on, it'll be fun!
