I've feeling lost and confused about my life. I'm taking a break from school to figure out what I want to do and maybe create a drive to even be at school. I is sad that my brothers will be graduating and I'll just be lost in a fog but I guess we all must go at our own pace. I feel like people aren't as open to meet others on SG as they use to be. I want to meet new people. If anyone wants to talk, I'm open. I wish I had more people to talk to, i've got a lot of stuff on my mind right now and I need help figureing it out.

I started feeling that way too. I took a couple years off between high school and university, and I started to feel really... left behind. I really enjoyed what I was doing with my time, I spent a lot of it volunteering and what not, but I started doing the math thinking a few of my friends will be graduating in 2 years and I really haven't gotten anywhere.

So I bit the bullet, and started going to the U part time. At first, I really enjoyed it. It was nice to be in a social setting with people my age and learning again, but I never really gave it my all. I was working two jobs and school just wasn't the priority. I started down a Comp Sci road, and while it tangentally interests me, it's not exactly where I wanted to go. I ended up doing poorly my second year due to a number of excuses, but ultimately I didn't go back. That summer I ended up finding an IT job that was much more inline with what I want to do, so i just ran with it.

Nowadays, I do the daily grind, and I think about school. But know I know what I want to find in a school, it's just a matter of finding a program I actually have faith in. Due to the nature of my job, I see guys that have been trained in local programs, and I'm never impressed. But I still feel I'm moving forward, and I guess that's really the important thing.

As fior SG, it does seem like it's changed since I joined, but I think that's mainly due to the drama in the regional group I'm in.
