Hey - first off DON'T GIVE UP; getting back will be hard but NOT impossible. I think the best bet for you is to do courses online (athabasca, ryerson) instead of going into mohawk. I mean I know me as a science student, I didn't understand what exactly I could do @ mohawk that would actually help me in my career goals. I mean for engineers, at least they have structured courses @ mohawk right? At least w/ online courses, you'll be able to do courses that actually will count towards your degree and maybe even save you some time.. try to do courses that you know you can excel in and do well in them, and on the side either get a part time job, or volunteer..
the key is to show them that you've learned from the "past" and "know" how to avoid a repeat of this! so when you apply again, you'll have a good list of things that you've been keeping busy w/ and you'll also have credits toward your degree (they count those online courses as transfer credits - but make sure you look @ what's a antirequest @ mac if you wanna go this route)
again, when you apply try to emphasize in the letter you write how you've learned and what you're doing to avoid this...
meanwhile, you can also visit the 'career center' and try to even take some classes that help you "study" or "do well on midterms.. etc" (if you've taken bio 1a03 - kajura often refers to them..) i know mac offers some through some organization but i'm not sure if you'd be allowed to take them :-)
I know that right now, it seems like everything's over.. but honestly just believe in yourself - because everyone is entitled to make mistakes, no body is perfect! Just whatever you do, don't rush into things.. try to see what suits you better and what will benefit you in the future...
Best of luck!
