Jack Hardcastle

I’m in a very unusual mood today. Tired, and too-busy, and excited, and relieved all at once. The elections are over here at Wiess and my lame duck period has officially begun, but I’m still in office for almost a month, and I’m still going to be very busy this week. First and foremost, we have a jazz concert here at the College on Friday night, and I’m the defacto coordinator for the time being. That’s a pain in my rump. I didn’t get a whole lot of help running the election (except from Doward, who’s always amazing), and at times I feel like I just want to drop it all and let other people see how much slack there would be. Then I realize I’d cry while watching things fall apart, like Lisa keeps threatening to do.

At least there’s this to keep me cheery. We’re throwing one hell of a going-away bash for Dr. Bill and the Kalbs. Check out the design for the shirt, sketched by Caitlin Topham, Wiess ‘06. It’s exactly what I had envisioned, and best of all she drew this based on a 50-pixel tall blowup from my camera phone, where Dr. Bill was just standing in the background.

So much to do tomorrow, and so little desire to do it. But such is life.
