Writing the final, especially question number two, has made me realize it is impossible to make anyone happy. No matter what I do, what I write about, how I speak, someone is always going to have a differing opinion to me.
This blog is my personal space to say what I want to say, how I want to say it, regardless of how people think I should be writing or what I should be writing.
I am happy with where I am in life. Taking my HCOM proseminar made me realize CSUMB is not the school for me. I want to write, I want to be a journalist, and I don't think by taking classes like Restorative Justice or American Drama, I'll be able to get the education I want.
So, next fall, I'll be packing my bags and heading to Sacramento State University, about 20 miles from my house, to enter their English and journalism programs. I am hoping their dedicated departments, versus just a small section in HCOM like CSUMB (side note: I will be so happy to get away from all the acronyms), will give me a greater understanding and preparedness for the world, instead of a small understanding of many things, like CSUMB hopes to give their students.
This summer, I'm going to try and get some freelance journalism work going...hopefully I will be able to build a substantial portfolio by the end of summer and continue in the field.
I wish everyone luck with their new endeavors!

My last thoughts. I like the comment you left on blog; you say, "I write in AP style for the paper." I find that unlikely, you can't even recognize AP. I didn't blog in AP once. As for ASAP, read your own comment.
