Dismissed...now what?

First year here. I was dismissed after I failed everything first semester. I don't know what it is with me that I can't memorize anything. I attend all classes but find myself zoning out and not being "there" the whole time. Then I get home and I'm exhausted after labs that I start to study and can't retain anything. It really sucks when you work most of your life toward a specific goal and you get so close and you end up as one of the 2% who actually fail out of med school. I've wanted to... Dismissed...now what?
