This was a gaming blog???

Believe me or don't. I promise I won't get mad.

I took a break from blogging after getting rejected from a summer internship from two different places. Not being an asshole, I'm not gonna bitch about it beyond that.

There is something I've wanted to get off my chest for a while, though. It's mostly school related, but I think it's important because it's put me down a completely different path. For starters, I'm no longer a CMST major. I have left it all behind for Mass Comm. My former advisor noted that there's not much of a difference in the job fields available to me in going from one to the other. Be that as it may, but the skills I am learning are far different from what I was getting in the previous major.

CMST was great, but at best, I was learning the most out of the sequence that I was least interested in: Performance and Rhetoric. Yeah, I was good- possibly great at it, but I'm not interested in going to be a motivational speaker rather than a public speaker who represents an organization I'm more akin to.

I mean, you can't be a motivational speaker to lift people's spirits about playing video games. Sure, I could have pushed the idea, but no company would take me serious enough to pay me for it.

I can, however, sell a brand. Very well, in fact. I've been doing it for five years now. It wouldn't be hard to jump ship to a new set of colors just for a paycheck.

With that being said- I am a Mass Comm major with an emphasis on Public Relations.

I am keeping my options open regardless of my decision. I will do my best to go for my MBA in the field, and if that doesn't lead to much, I'm gonna start school all over for something in Law Enforcement. I'm thinking of getting into police work.

What a strange jump from gaming that would be.

There's still writing, of course. I started doing shitty sketches of parts of the story to St. Dementia in my book. Just single frames that I needed to put on paper for the sake of having it on paper. Maybe I'll have to pass the torch to someone more interested in actually pursing my story to actually get it out there.

I need to hit the hay.

Later.
