Welcome to the club!
Don't fell sorry for your dismissy b/c most folks in here are in the same waggon. Yes. You will find school from the top to the very bottom which will take you within a breathing gesture. Just chose your school and bounce with grace. Make sure you don't get dismiss in this new joint though.
By the way, forget that you were dismissed and live like there is no tomorrow. But just hold the books more often from now on.
Take me advise as I practice what I don't preach
One more thing! Please don't use the my friend trick anymore. We know the deal too well. Just say, I am looking for a new place. LOL
