Criticism & Culture: The Ladies' Paradise :-(

[changeling67]

The results are back and many people are very unhappy.  The student's forum lit up and many are in tears.   I too, was heartbroken and just bawled my eyes out.  Yes, I have passed - but so low.  How can someone who is cruising near a first tumble to the bottom of the seconds? These marks are seriously screwing my averages.  At least 2 have only got 40% which is just a pass - another asked me to call her and told me to buck up and breathe a sigh of relief that I passed (which actually I appreciate - even if she was drunk).

I am so glad I took the decision to do this over 2 years.  Right now, I am in bed nursing my ego and a bottle of scotch a hot water bottle. Hate this bloody year :'((((

Thank you for your kind words, Jonny. I have really appreciated the support I have had returning to higher education as a mature student. I was pretty well-read before I came back, but a lot of the work has given me such a development of mind and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading and discussing well-written prose.

The health thing seemingly is IBS - I developed lactose intolerance in August and the list of no-no foods is getting longer. They don't think it is anything too serious, but I am having a full exploratory just in case :-)
