Yet another fail

I can't believe it, I tried so hard, and only had the one subject this semester and yet somehow I managed to fail again!!

The unfortunate thing is that I did alright in all the other assessments, but because the exam was worth 65% of the grade for the subject I ended up failing due to screwing up the exam.

I mean, I believe I did the best I could, answered the large majority of the written questions but I guess maybe I screwed up the multiple choice.

As a result of failing the same subject 3 times, I can expect a 3rd stage email of academic review which might mean that I won't be able to study my current degree anymore.

In a way that's a good thing, I'm not enjoying the subjects I have to do as part of this Marketing degree. I reckon I could do so much better or at least be more motivated doing something I enjoy.

What I think I'd really like to do is something creative or something that involves working with people. I've looked up the degrees available, and I have a few in mind which I'm interested in. I just hope there's some way I can change degrees.

Despite having failed this semester I don't feel depressed at all, just a bit disappointed.

Hi aL,

My commiserations on your grade. I am also at uni and know how tough things can be. In one of my final exams this past semester one girl left the exam (as early as they allow) in tears and shaking. Anyhow, all you can do is your best, as you say you have done, so no one could possibly have asked any more of you. Well done!

Well done also on looking on the upside of all this, an apparently terrible situation- ie that perhaps this is the catalyst you need to change to a subject area you better enjoy. Keep focusing on the positive, you have everything to gain!

Regards,
miss m
