So, for those of you who I contacted and those who didn't, this will now become an actual blog used for updates as opposed to just classroom responses.
First off, I AM OFFICIALLY GRADUATED! I know, weird, right? And pretty much everyone knew I had mixed feelings about it. Don't be surprised if I start contacting people around late August all freaked out because I'm not packed yet. And for those still at CSUMB or in that general area, trust me, I will be visiting. You can't get rid of me that easily, so you may as well accept that.
Secondly, I will be treating myself before going into a job. Yes, I do have a couple jobs in mind and we'll see what comes to pass. I will be going to Vegas in June. I will not be going to gamble away all of my money (I know, I'm strange) but there is a Tribute to The Rat Pack happening. I mentioned this in an earlier blog, but it is now finalized, ticket and everything. I will be in Vegas for the better part of a week.
Finally, I will eventually getting my car. My parents ended up buying me a car for graduation, a 2008 Subara Impresa, silver. However, my adorable little brother decided he didn't need a permit or even parental supervision to take it out for a joyride. And he crashed it. He's fine, although I've been tempted to change that. The front of the car and the back of the car were damaged the most, according to the auto dealership, with a long scratch down the driver's side. As you can imagine, whatever good terms (however instable they were) I was on with my brother are, for all intents and purposes, nonexistant.
I think that's all for now. I'll be actually paying more attention to this now, hopefully, so check back when you get the chance to.

No Particular Place to Go
There were two large events going on last night on campus. One was the speaker Bettina, the other was the movie "Walkout" at the World Theater. I would like to hope that many students attended the speaker, since not nearly as many attended the movie. I can't say that for sure, but that's one of the few logical reasons I can think of as to why people didn't come to the movie.
I guess what I should actually say, I was disappointed at the lack of attendance. Since we had some technical difficulties beforehand, that probably magnifies my irritation more than it probably should.
After watching the movie, with the discussion of copyright laws in mind, I had a couple questions. All these movies that are based around true stories, can you copyright historical events? You can have newspaper articles from the time, and eyewitness accounts or people that went through it, but can you copyright the event and post it the next day on youtube? Kind of a strange line of thought to follow, I know, but that's kind of what I came up.
