Universities are very accommodating and take mental health and student welfare very seriously. My other half is a university lecturer and says there is a lot that can be done, but students have to ask for it. I hope this year is easier for your daughter.Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17258689019500595959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-30517072956980143402018-09-27T13:21:54.690+01:002018-09-27T13:21:54.690+01:00I totally agree.

A person's future can depend on how they 'perform' for a couple of hours on one particular day, there could be many different reasons why they couldn't get their knowledge down on paper but it just isn't taken into account. It's very harsh. The house is very quiet again, especially as Mick's had a lot of travelling for work this week so he's been gone early and getting home late so they've been long days. I'm sure I'll get used to it again soon.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-77369512653028217412018-09-27T13:19:01.631+01:002018-09-27T13:19:01.631+01:00Eleanor's done much better than we expected wh...Eleanor's done much better than we expected when we realised she'd failed these two exams, her hard work in her coursework has really paid off.

I hope the new meds and counselling help to get the paper piece that is needed to show what she is capable of after all her hard work.

I can't believe how quickly the last two years have gone and I can't see this year being any different, she'll be finished before I know it. It's really worrying knowing that she's suffering with anxiety but the medication seems to be working so I'm hoping that the counselling will help too, she's got some big exams at the end of the third year so I hope she'll be coping much better by then.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-68783087774139644252018-09-27T09:43:50.666+01:002018-09-27T09:43:50.666+01:00Awww i remember packing the car up like that, how ...Awww i remember packing the car up like that, how come they accumulate so much stuff!
