Trying My Best

If an idea is presented to you, and you have to get it cleared through one person before it goes to another person to also be cleared, but you know that 2nd person cleared it and you need to move fast....what do you do?

I did what I thought. I sent the idea to both people involved instead of just the first. 

I did what I thought would be best since time is running out on the idea. I don't feel like I stepped on person 1's toes because I sent it to both. 

So I skipped a step in the process. Is that ALWAYS a bad thing?

I got an e-mail from one of my professors outlining a ton of internships available in the journalism field right now. I'd like to think that's a good sign. No, it's not a paid job, but there are positions out there and experience to be gained. I can't help but think that's a tiny ray of sunshine in the clouds.

Or, it could be that fewer people are studying the field. If it's that, then I just don't know what I think about it.
