I love music. I listen to Tom Petty. I graduated in 1995. I work in mining at a company. I don't like it because it's dangerous. There was almost a collapse today. There are incidents and injuries a lot at work. I am considering trying to get a new job. I'm considering construction or outdoor work. I used to be a waiter. I can't go to my job. I am not getting paid by my company. I will file for unemployment. I want to go back to school to get my masters in mechanical engineering. I have completed by basic classes. My work experience will help me in my chosen field. I want to work while taking classes. I sometimes study in groups. I like reading. I'm learning guitar from youtube.
I love music. I just moved here. I am interested in nursing. I work at a bar.  I am in nursing school to be a nurse. I pay for school myself. I don't like school work. I don't like studying in groups. I focus better on my own. I am shy and am not in any clubs. I want to become a nurse and get out of the bar. I don't like my bar customers. I don't have a lot of time outside of school and work. I liked to do calm activities and listen to music and read. I'm not a people person.
Are you studying on your own right now? Yes, I am.  Studying on my own is better so I don't get distracted.  I have finals next week so I'm studying a lot. I see you don't like to study much or like school work, how come? Whenever I study with my classmates, they end up changing the topic and we don't get any studying done. Oh I see, have you ever tried to write down specific topics and try to follow the topics? I usually rewrite my notes.  Is that what you mean? Yes, I find that to be helpful, it might be helpful for your classmates as well.  How would that work in a group study session? Each member of the group writes down what topics they would like to talk about and one by one each topic will be talked about. This way no one gets off track into random topics.  How do you stop people from talking about their day, for example? I would remind them that this is a study session and after the study session we can talk about personal business/plans. Its important to keep school and personal life separate.  I agree, I'm just not forceful enough to get us back on topic.
