and here goes, the update to all that know you livejournal, for their thirsty ears: i'm no longer enrolled in classes i'm working my own job relationships have ended, new ones have sprung my life is forever changed memory: i miss my paid account...

Why I feel prepared to return to SMU
Over this semester-long exile from SMU and the world of academia, I have not enjoyed a long break with copious amounts of free time. I have not lounged gaily during my days. I have not wasted this hiatus in dull affairs that cannot serve to improve myself. Instead, I’ve taken a glimpse into the world of full-time low-wage employment, a feasible prospect for one such as me lacking a college diploma. Over the period of my suspension, I’ve worked from nine to six for over one hundred and fifty days as an IT consultant in Carrollton and Fort Worth, with many other side jobs along the way. I have kept busy every single day since the spring semester ended so that when I had the chance to return to SMU, I could come back prepared. I’ve since achieved skills as a mechanic, technician, sales associate, and security advisor. I’ve earned a great deal of money by keeping myself occupied and productive while away from SMU, but it pales in comparison with how much I have missed out on my academics. I long for the sense of achievement brought by seeing an A next to my name on a hard test. I miss the assignments where you test the knowledge learned in class. I crave for the structured work environment of a classroom compelling me to study and learn. Not that I have not learned anything from this break, have learned a great deal about the so-called “real world.” I have learned in the real world, no one cares if you have difficulty understand something. You are expected to either figure it out, or renounce your position and look for a less complex job. I have learned there is no excuse for failure, but failure is an important part of productivity. Many failures occur during the day but the importance is to keep your number of successes higher. I have learned the importance of dependability as one single person could detain hundreds from doing their jobs by not carrying his own. The most important part of what I have learned is that without a degree, you see many great opportunities sail by you, and what’s worse- to those less qualified. I grew as a person since my last class at SMU. I feel like I have reached a level of maturity where I am less influenced by outside forces and more focused on my tasks. I see the reasons why I chose poorly in my previous mistakes and I see ways I can benefit now from them. I do not regret my suspension from SMU, it has allowed me time to settle into myself and prioritize by importance the steps I need to take to ensure myself a successful future.

So demanding others to be clear of their intentions is like asking your chess opponent to reveal his next move after his turn...? I guess so, i kinda feel enlightened even though i already have to hold my tongue often
I'm the kind of person that sees so much of what i don't like everyday that when there is an unique sight in front of me, i want to do everything to achieve it.. I guess what i was trying to say was that i'm not comfortable leaving certain things in limbo and expecting the best.. i feel kinda lost, without any bearings, and this trip is getting shaky to where i want to bail and recover the loses, as they say
(imagine me with an unbridled mouth: super-asshole)
