<p>I was wrong not because I had my facts mistaken but, rather, because of a bad phrasing of my statements and the fact that I was simply stating my own personal circumstance in a bad way. </p>
<p>This is my first sentence:</p>
<p>"well, in so cal it's a 1 day thing plus its at El Camino College. hard to figure how the dorms would be included in calso at ElCo. "</p>
<p>As I had mentioned before, I did sign up for SoCal CalSO.Right?? So for me, dorms are out of the question since ElCo has NO dorms. It's a CC. </p>
<p>Then I followed with a flawed statement of why I didn't intend to go to CalSO at Cal:</p>
<p>"but no, if you go to calso at cal, its 2 days though, and you will have to provide your own transportation and housing for the stay. Thats why I didnt want to go at all at first since it would be like a $1000 round trip all included for my mom and I. I clearly cant afford that!!!"</p>
<p>What I did wrong, and I apologize for that is NOT stating that my mother and I DID NOT intend to stay at the Units. She really was against it and had mentioned the need to get a room at a nearby hotel. Also, the trip including transportation and CalSO fees doesn't add up to $1000 if you plan on staying in the dorms. Plus, instead of the YOU statement I should have used an I statement. </p>
<p>2 plane tickets, round-trip = $250 , flying Southwest from LAX
2 CalSO fees for Cal = $600 , student and parent</p>
<p>subtotal = $850</p>
<p>1 night stay at a San Francisco/Oakland/Berkeley Hotel = between $75-$150 </p>
<p>total = $1000 , somewhere near this </p>
<p>Once again, I failed to state that I wouldn't be staying in the Units for the night.</p>
