help needed
Okay people, I really need help/advice/ideas. It's got to the point where I just can't cope with my course any more - I know it's not meant to be easy, but I don't understand *anything* and the thought of going to lectures makes me cry every morning. It's been like this since the start of term but i thought things might improve over xmas, and they haven't.
So, I don't really want to stay on my course, but I absolutely 100% certain don't want to leave Bath. I've got my friends, my job and my flat. Sadly there aren't any other courses at Bath I fancy which kinda limits my options. I mean, there're two courses at Bristol uni which look good : English and Philosophy, (though you need English A-level which i don't have) and LLB Law either on its own or with German. I'd go for the latter out of choice but it's a massively hard course and I don't know if i could hack it. Anyway, I think I need to move away from science - the last 18 months have proven it's really not my forte.
However, if Bristol doesn't work out, ie I could very well not get in (they want 3As and I got that, but only just) and commuting from Bath would be tricky, I guess my only option would be to get a job. Seems that you can't really get a good job without a degree though, and I don't even know what sort of area I want to go into. So, generally, it's all stress about not having a clue where my life's going, and also having to discuss this with my parents at some stage. So, if anyone has any ideas, life-experiences, warnings ect they'd like to throw this way, I'd welcome them so much. And if all you can offer is hugs, that'd be pretty nice too, because I'm a little bit down with all this at the moment.
and if anyone's planning on telling me I should have thought about not being good at science when I started the degree, I will kill them slowly and painfully.
Thanks.
