    Damn, that sucks.

    Can you not repeat?

    Did you manage to answer any of the questions? As in, maybe you scraped a pass?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 630 ✭✭✭LastIrishMonkey


    No cant repeat just that exam ud have to do the lot again.

    i was allowed near the exam room they cant let anyone in after 30mins :(

    Your life is over? Don't be so melodramatic.

    It seems **** now. More options will present themseves.

    Maybe subconsciously you knew that you didn't want to go to CIT, and so slept it out. I know I could barely sleep before any exams, let alone sleep it out.
    Repeat the exam(s), re-evaluate your options. One missed course in one college isn't going to make a significant difference in the whole scheme of things, if there is something that you really want to do.

    Go out and get locked.

    Hmmmm. My advice to you would be to take the lot again. In the long term it's better to lose a year and keep your life on track, then to quit college/whatever now and regret it in the future.

    Ouch.

    That really sucks but if it was that important, surely repeating the year would be an option?

    Also, before you die of a stress attack, perhaps you should go to talk to a tutor or someone like that and see if they can help you? It's possible that they might be able to make an exception. I'd say do your last exam just in case.

    What course were you going to do?

    I repeated my leaving and got the course I wanted the 2nd time I did. Both times I had the grades, but the first time I failed the interview, the second time I passed. Now a "few" years later I wished I done another course in another college, or even just worked instead of going to college. Though I had a good time in college, I'm not convinced it was a good career move. I've never worked at anything related to my degree.

    Your young enough to do anything you want to do in life and take a few atempts doing it. Don't stress it. I have a friend that became an airlane pilot after about 5 years of trying, and about 4 attempts at the interviews. How determined you are says a lot about your character.

    I'd have to agree, its not the end of the world just because you got some blood on the carpet

    Oh and the college thing...ya shouldn't have stayed up so late

    Ah you poor thing, I'm always terrified that that will happen, cos I generally sleep through my alarm if I'm really tired! I hope you get the course though, if your teacher is putting your name forward for it anyway thats a good sign:cool:

    in first year, i missed my last exam that would have determined whether or not i got to continue my psychology course, by four days (i misread the timetable - i was going on provisional dates, not final dates). i was in bits afterwards, and i, too, thought that my life was over. at the time, i thought that psychology was what i really really wanted to do, so i was really upset, but i just dusted myself off and continued with my other subjects. i'm sitting my finals at the moment, and as it turned out, i absolutely love what i'm doing, because i gave it half a chance, and made myself be interested in it, and now i'm actually doing really well.

    so, it's not the end of the world, there are a million and one back-routes into whatever course you want, you just need to find them and want them enough

    (edit) and about the carpet - buy a nice rug! (edit)
