Yesterday at school I got called into my counselor's office, she was just calling in everyone one at a time to talk about their credits.
In short it went something like this:

Counselor: "You aren't going to graduate this year."
James: "...W-well maybe I can still try some other things and work on some more credits an-"
Counselor: " It's impossible."

I think it was a kid's movie this line was in, but it always stuck:

"Any kid can make a mess; It takes a man to clean it up"

funny thing was a janitor had said it to a kid who's shit pretty much hit the fan, but it gave him new perspective at least.
Either way you're a good kid, and I know you'll come to a decision you think is best for you. You've already heard what you "can't" do, so I say you show them what you "can" do instead.
lemme know how it works out, don't give up :)

I think that's probably the perfect quote for this situation. It seems like the right time to starting cleaning this up.
Anyways thanks, you always seem to know what to say to turn anything into a positive perspective.

Can't you go to El Camino for a semester or something?

I actually have attended El Camino since May.
And staying there the rest of this year still wouldn't be enough credits. The rate of making up credits there isn't as amazingly fast as it's made out to be. When I said I was behind credits, I meant way behind. I was at about 72 credits when she called me in.
I think I might just wait out this last year and take my GED over the summer, seems the most logical.
That way I'd still attend my senior year, study during the summer, and get my general education diploma.
I'd have loved to be able to actually graduate, but a GED will suffice for me.
