I need advice I'm goin thru it........?

I'm going to this great trade school in San Francisco called job corps where you learn a trade, get a diploma or a g.e.d, and a drivers lisence and a job when you get out. You get to live there in dorms for free and they pay you, and give you 3 meals a day. My room smelt like weed because 1 of my room mates smoked in the bathroom. So the staff raided the room and drug tested us the next morning. I smoke on the weekends so my test was going to come up dirty anyway. So my results come back on Monday. And I'm 99% sure I'm getting kicked out because I started the program with a dirty drug test. I was in the program for 4 months. I got expelled from the Oakland school district before I started the program and me and my dad made a deal that i got kicked out of this program then I would go to my moms house in las Vegas to get my g.e.d and then maybe come back. My plan was to go straight to the Amtrak station after I get my stuff packed from my dorm and head straight to Vegas when the program kicks me out with out telling my mom or dad and just calling my mom when I get in Vegas to pick me up from the Amtrak station. I am really depressed and ashamed of myself for messing this oppourtunity up for myself and letting my parents down when I was just doing really good. I know my dad is going to be disapointed and mad which doesn't scare me but makes me sad and ashamed of myself for putting him thru more stress then I already have. I got kicked out of every school I ever went to and I know this is just going to stress him even more and it's killing me just thinking about it. I think if I buy my own ticket and leave on my own then that will show my dad I'm taking my responsibilities in my own hands. I want to get my g.e.d then come back and go to a community college so I can do something for myself and make my parents proud. But anyways... What should I do? Does my idea sound good?

1. Wait to see if you are getting kicked out first before you do anything. Thing is you know what you could and could not do, so why smoke weed at all period? At some point you're going to have to straighten yourself out. If you get kicked out anything you do to show that you are cable to being mature will help. Then you just have to keep trying. Feel for you man, but you did know the rules.
2. Sounds like you may repeating the same story over and over---KNOW that ---until you change your habits, your life will not change.---UNLESS you change for the positive the nothing else will change. ....go to the school (JOB CORPS) office early in the morning, before you get "kick out" and tell them you are willing to change AND then do it! If they do not accept it, then move on AND truly change your life for the positive!!! IF you go to your Mom's house,,,stay clean! STOP doing the 'stuff" on the weekends and go out and run 2-4 miles ....do something different and more positive...... MAKE yourself proud of YOU!
3. First, call your mom. She might be out of town, and then you'll be screwed. Don't worry about your dad finding out, since he's going to anyway. Just man up and admit it. Tell him you're ready to go to vegas. But do wait for the test results.
4. no amtrak train services las vegas,, there are amtrak connections usually via greyhound bus or coach america
