Me? in military? u must be jokin! lol however, i dont mind having stewie's type of world domination ideas!! :jointsmile:

no but seriously, I became a daily and heavy smoker for about 2 years from 04 to 06 and in that time as u might imagine, i kinda missed lots of other parts of my life due to this newly found obsessive behavior. long story short, i fell with the wrong crowd n stuff and kinda left school doin min wage job and living the young/single person happy/party life.

Then I got back to school in the same status and got suspended due to bad grades for 1 semester and that was what burst my bubble , i came to my senses, cut all the crappy people from me and just quited smoking, and swore to leave it that way until i get my BS degree with as many As as i can.
So I'm trying really hard to stay on my promise, and although an occasional smoke here or there wont hurt, i know my obsessed ass will be wanting more after getting in bed only once!

so i kicked it as a "habit" and would like to keep it that way until i can get a real life and job.

plus: due to what i did for 2 years and what i planned to do afterwards, I'm on a very limited budget right now provided by my family for basically gas and school and thats it! I dont even work, but I'm taking like 18 credits as a sophomore this semester and have had a steady flow of mainly As and some Bs as grades comin on my record since then. also I cant grow in my family's residence. so as u see, i'm better off not smoking now, until i get my degree find a job, find a secure way to beat my drug tests, and start making bigger $$$ so i can OWN a place of my own. long way to go and a rough one, but I'm already in it and must finish it! u can say i myself admitted myself to my family's rehab lol and accepted the terms to get thru this phase of my life!

50 more credits to take and I intend to do it as fast as I can, taking 21 credits next semester perhaps and getting as many mini-mesters and summer classes as possible to be done hopefully by jan 2010 or at latest in by summer 2010. get hired on the spot with $60k plus a year the first year and i will be set!
