Ok. I was on academic suspension for the fall 2004 semester, but would've been allowed to return for Spring 05 (current semester, about to be over). I didn't go because I didn't feel 100% ready.
The reason why I got on academic suspension in the first place was lack of interest + a full time job (with benefits). Plus, I had to "clean & dry" some stuff outta my life (long, complicated story). I wouldn't have been able to do that, work, and go to school. Keeping the lights on and eating edible food is much more important to me that taking classes.
Now, I gotta itch to go back, but I dont wanna go back as a full-time student....I kinda wanna 'ease' back into it becuz I'm scared that I'm gonna get the same result. Stuff seems REAL hopeless for me in the classroom, tho....If I go back to Alabama A&M, I'll be there for the next 4 YEARS because I only have 11 (eleven) TOTAL HOURS with a sad tearjerking GPA.
But, I dont know whether or not I should go back because I'm already in debt up to my eyeballs, as far as student loans go....and I refuse to owe somebody $$ + X% interest for the rest of my life. I kinda wanna pay it outta pocket so I'll actually feel obligated to do good....but I'm scared it's gonna be a waste of money. I thought about selling 'under the table' items to pay for school, OR to pay my way through life and get school loans/grants so I dont have to do any real 'work'.
What should I do?

thats a really hard situation, but umm
do not do that!!! I wish I can tell you what to do, but all i can say is look at all (ALL) of your options and pray about it. I'll be praying for your wisdom because I dont know what is best for you. Only you do.....Quote:I thought about selling 'under the table' items to pay for school,
