Third year is hell

4 March, 2009 - 12:42am — the ghost

My life is in trouble!! College is a BIG problem for me right now. I am passing all my subjects except for the one I need to pass this year. I am going to be lucky if I scrape a pass. It is a project I have been doing all year, but I have had a lot of trouble with the lecturer as has another boy in my class. Bad luck I guess. But I just don't know what to do now.
I guess I have these options:

Continue on with this project and hope to god I can scrape a pass. Despite the fact I cannot sleep because of it and when I do I usually wake up gasping for air in a panic.

Just drop out. This in the short term would relieve the stress of the project, but would mean the last 2 and a half years of my life would have been wasted for not finishing my degree.

Continue and if I fail this project and pass the rest of my subjects. Repeat this year(third year) carrying foward the subjects I've passed, so basically spend a year repeating this thing.(that option will cost me €3000)

Any idea's folks? I am aware I am asking this question to a site mostly filled with people still only in highschool so me asking you this question may be a little retarded. But at this point in time i am willing to take all opinions into account.

In other news my sister has added to the stress of it all with her crazy drama with the boyfriend that stalks me. She does seem to pick her days well.

Sorry this is so miserable, I hope to be happy by the end of march when I am done being fucked over.

I know it's hard, but I would say stick with it and hope to pass. If you're doing well in your other classes, you can spend less time on them and focus on your hardest class.
Breathe!

Stick with it.

Sounds like it's hard, but I mean, the worst that could happen is you fail right? You might as well stick with it and I mean, you can decide what to do from there if you don't pass. But if you do, then you're set.

Good luck and all.

I say stick with it. And if

I say stick with it. And if your grade is borderline pass/fail and the teacher sees that you worked really hard to pass then they might pass you, assuming they have a heart.
Good luck!

C's get Degrees!!! =) Your

C's get Degrees!!! =)

Your choice whether to stick with it or not, you know best the situation you're in... however, repeating this (full year course?) does sound like a waste of time and money. If you stick with it, all you can do is try your best, put in the hours and do all you can to ensure you at least pass.
And try not to let your sis's drama bf stress you out (as creepy as he sounds)! When you're having a tough time at school, outside stresses are the last thing you want to have on your mind, they can totally kill all work ethic!!

I know how you feel though, Friday I write my accounting midterm. Based on how that goes, I may choose to drop it. Until then, looks like 7 hours/day of studying is what I have to do!!! D'= !!! Today I literally woke up, went to school, came back, showered/ate, and now I'm going to bed. Life, couldn't be less interesting right now haha and tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that, I plan on doing the exact same thing =(

So uhm, in the mean time, lets both sit in the corner and cry our woes of our crappy school lives D'= But, in the end, we'll get through =)
