Cue...

... has been a learning experience.
I've learnt that:
- an 8-pager on the first day can be more stressful than a 16-pager on the fourth day.
- an editor can pull rank at any stage, as they tend to do after we've all worked three 16-hour days in a row.
- I have amazing friends in res, who leave me Special-K bars and hang out my whites while I catch up on much needed sleep.
- I have been an ass to miss fest in the past, feel like an ass for committing myself to Cue during this exciting time, and will be an ass if I never come back to experience it fully at a later stage.

What is scary is how sleep deprivation affects my emotions. Right now I am level-headed, after having scoffed a packet of mini allsorts, but in about an hour the rush is going to hit. I will then switch onto 'prod ed machine mode' and run around like a headless chicken for a few hours. At around 1am, extreme tiredness will hit, and I will slump back into my chair and concede to all the style-guide breaking changes enforced upon me by editorial, and slap together as strong a front page as possible.
Only 5 editions left.

I am Cue girl, see me yawn.
