The AerOnion is out .. WAHOOOO

Classes suck. I and many in my class are in a severe case of frusteration, overwhelming, dissapointment, and apathy. It's just the fact that Professors either don't care, or care but are really in-considerate! Anyways, this has been dragging for a while, and exploded this semester. The explosion came in finding a breather in something else. Something that we put our effort in, enjoy and have fun doing!

While trying to solve propulsion HW over AIM with Nimisha one night, the conversation drifted to making fun of the plots and such things. Nimisha threw the idea of publishing these jokes in some sort of a newsletter or something. I agreed and found it great idea, and went on talking about it. Two days later, Nimisha IMs me asking if I was serious about doing this sarcastic newsletter! Of course I am serious!

We started working on The AerOnion, the work was discrete and not consistent. Anyways, we were running out of days, and I was sinking in frusteration. I could've easily dropped the whole idea, but I really needed to feel good about doing something in school! Last weekend, we crammed all the work, collected all the bits and pieces. I spent two full nights formating and getting the stuff together, which was my main job aside from coming up with ideas. I came up with many ideas; however, I lack the ability to apply them in many times, and that's where Nimisha came in play of working on my ideas and editing them. Thanks Nimisha for putting up with all of my writting! Aside from that, Nimisha came up with the genius Horoscope section and many other sections. Steven helped in adding final touches here and there. Aslo, he helped those with broken minds! Mays rescued us with the muffin-making-robot cartoon...

The first issue of The AerOnion was officially released on Tuesday, may, 4th. I am proud of it. I saw people reading it and laughing. Professors talk about it. Aside from all that, we had it in us to start something new, and creative. Oh .. and doing it was soooooo much fun!

Many thanks go to The Wrighter, Samuel Twain, and the Pale Mexican!
Seriously, it was personal!
