Re Silverturtle: I never declared a major because there were so many things I was interested in, I coudln't decide on just ONE thing I wanted to do. Now that I've been at my job for little while (CNA @ a nursing home), I've decided (with pretty strong convictions) that I do want to go into nursing. That is what I really want to do, and I know it does require schooling.. I believe now that I've had the chance to grow up a little bit more, that I could produce the motivation to do so. But I'm not positive.
Re Tom: I hear you about required studying, but I don't know if it's been ruled hazing in all instances...I know we ('we' being my chapter @ BSU) still has study hours and round tables, so... We'll see. Their mistake with intiating me was that they wanted me so bad, they slid my through by saying they could only get ahold of my high school grades at that point in time (which was only partially true). Thanks for the advice, I think the biggest help for me will be establishing an actual time to study, and stick with it...Studying at different times before kinda got to me...So I didn't feel like doing it with any regularity.
Re DeltAlum: To be equally as honest, I DO want the social aspect back. I am very much a people person and being back in the town I went to high school in with no one I know around any more is kinda depressing to me. Whether I focus on a job, academics, or otherwise, I don't function real well without a lot of interaction. I do miss seeing my sisters, just like seeing any of my other friends, but that doesn't mean that I will re-activate if I were to go back...For many reasons. Also, as I said before, now that I have something that I do know I'd truly like to get into, I believe I could get into the academics part again. I've always had a thirst for knowledge, I love to learn, and I honestly do like school, I just was young(er) and dumb(er) when I went the first time. Leaving school has definately taught me a major lesson that I don't intend forgetting.
Thanks for the thoughts thus far.
