    In order not to start Monday's chat thread on a downer I thought I would tag onto the end of the weekend one.....

    I received my exam results this morning.......

    I have only passed 4/5 which is not good enough.

    I do not have the qualification

    I will not be going to university, graduation party is off I am afraid.

    Might go quiet for a bit but dont worry I am OK, just licking my wounds.

    Please dont mention this on FB any of my friends, I really dont want the fact that I am a total failure broadcasting to people at work.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Ok Lou. Yes it's disappointing but you did pass 4 so I don't see how that can make you a total failure.

    I failed the course, just rang uni and cant start until I have passed everything.......work has paid for it so I feel like a total idiot.

    Today I feel like a total failure.

    Off to clean something.

    Hugs Lou. Can you re-sit the element you didnt pass?

    For what it's worth, I think you've done so well, considering the problems you had with the course :grouphug:

    Oh Lou, sorry to hear that - but please don't think you are a failure. You passed four out of the five - this does not make you a failure. As Spud says, can you not take a re-sit on the fifth?

    I can re-sit in December. I will pass the course I know maybe I am just being a bit spoilt as up to now I have never failed anything I have taken.......

    Like I said, just licking my wounds and will be fine once i have things sorted in my head.

    Oh Lou I'm so sorry, but as the others have said you're not a failure. Now, the crap teacher on the other hand... I'm sure you'd have passed with flying colours if the course was run properly.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
