Guest Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Just can't contain how pleased I am. I passed my first Unit of my Foundation Degree. You see, I thought of throwing in the towel after I lost the plot - my sister was diagnosed with cancer and had an immediate mastectomy followed by chemo. Three family members then died and my mum broke her ankle -this was the final straw, so I filled in the forms for the ou to take account of my situation, but forgot to post them with the final essay! Just to add to it all, my essay got caught in the postal strike and the lady at the post office sent it 2nd class saying it made no difference (it does)! I haven't had a letter yet, but the webpage says I have passed with 63% - I thought I'd get around 30%. I'm over the moon x HOWEVER - - - - - ROLL ON 2008 -I'VE HAD A BAD YEAR!

Guest Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Well done you! Here's hoping 2008 is a much better year for you. Hope your sister recovers totally from her cancer treatment, my mum had a mastectomy and radiotherapy last year so I know what you are going through there.

Guest Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Great news, well done, getting the first unit out the way is the biggest hurdle you will have had to face, especially with such difficult personal circumstances. Well done. The next one will be a breeze. Sincerely sending best wishes for your sisters recovery and good health and a special wish for you to have a stress free, successful 2008.

Guest Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and wishes. I'm sure next year will be better, as for this Christmas I've cancelled the Turkey dinner and most of the family as it's my son's 7th Birthday. I asked him what he'd like to eat on his birthday......Buffet food! I can manage that no problem and I get time to play with the children! Phew - I already feel relaxed about it and it's great! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
