Having done my time in the forces and being pensioned off, I decided on a change of career. So off to Uni I went....
Completed year two, got a bit restless during a long summer break, then went back for the first semester of year three.
Since September, I can say in all honesty that I've tried my best. I've put in all the time I can at the expense of everything else. That includes biking, and even speaking to my wife! But the reality is that after 3 exams I'm facing two resits next Aug (fact). What's so frustrating is that all the coursework has gone well and indicates I was on for an A in two modules and a B in the third -but I've blown this with the exams.
So, I'm faced with another semester in over my head, not biking, frustrated, and putting on weight at the rate of 4kg /semester. Followed by a summer of resits, which means that should I choose to do the fourth year my overall grade won't be too hot.
Or, I can try again with the OU. Credit transfer and previous OU study means I have enough points to go in at level 3, take things a bit slower, and maybe come away with a better degree.
FWIW, my wife is behind me whatever I choose - in fact she often asks why I don't go and work in a bike shop
Now I was going to ask some sort of question. But writing that down sort of makes it pretty clear what I should do.
Thanks for the advice
