Well, that's that. After feverish grinding to complete the radio content, it's airing this week on WEAA 88.9 FM. The segment I personally worked on, History, played Monday, and it will be continuing throughout the week. Exciting stuff!
Better yet, this of course means that I and my classmates can be reabsorbed into the Garden Gala planning proper. Besides contributing some oatmeal cookies for one last bake sale, I've got a lot to do.
Now that my Fridays are no longer devoted to those planning sessions, and I'm not teaching or attending class Thursday, I can use those days by slashing through my fabric stash for stuff to cut up into table runners.
Okay, so I'm not nearly as terminal a case as Gail Ellsperman, owner of that photo, but I still feel like saying to myself, "Bad seamstress. Use your stockpiles for good, don't sit on them like Smaug with his hoard." I need to find out the dimensions of the tables we'll be using.
Any other little decorating tasks that can be started outside of the event day are things I'd like to get a jump on. Rolling up napkins and tying them with twine? Packing raffle stuff prettily into baskets? I'll be on it.
Come Saturday, I'll help the caterers with prepping food--it sounds like we've got a lot to do there, especially considering that they have other events to handle besides ours, which they're doing basically out of the goodness of their hearts. I'm going to be on food duty the day of the Gala, too, so it makes sense to get in on it beforehand.
And then...Sunday. Game faces on for the Garden Gala! It's been a crazy time, and I'm eager to see our work pay off. These ponies know what I'm talking about:
(Sorry, but that's been stuck in my head forever!)
After all that, it'll almost be a relief just to write a paper reflecting on the semester. Compared to what we've been doing, that's easy, but also a bit of a let-down.
