I currently intern at a local paper which I would have right now if it weren't for my journalism teacher.

I was lucky enough to have a community college in my area that offered journalism as a major and for courses. If you could be lucky enough to have one as well, it might help you out.

Funny, I thought I was the only one who had ZU spark an interest with journalism...
Well, upon further checking, my local tech does have a course I could do. They offer a day release in work placement too. Problem is, it's full time and I have to work still or I wont be able to support my family. Hmm... this is looking tricky. I could start with the English language course to get a basic idea and possibly see what happens from there.

Yea, this whole staff thing has REALLY got me pumped for journalism. I don't think I can just ignore it.

Thanks James.
