Frustrated!

Ergh, so I got an email earlier to my uni inbox saying that the results of our first law module were up. So hesitantly I decided to check my results praying for 40% or more, which I'll be honest, I thought I would get. Needless to say, I did not pass and got 18%. So that sucks major balls, but it gets even worse...

Half the grade for this module was an essay which we had to submit online during the Christmas holidays. Due to an eletrical fault i submitted my essay late and therefore had to write to the exam board giving my reasons. Found out that the reason I failed my exam is due to the exam board giving me 0% for my essay for late submission! Ergh! Seriously, I could NOT submit it due to reasons beyond my control, How can you be so harsh as to cancel my essay??

I am quite confident that if my essay was to be counted I would have passed my exam! Furthermore, all my friends have been asking me if i passed or not and I am hesitant to tell them as this semester I have not been attending lectures much for quite personal reasons. I know that if I tell them I failed they'll just rub in my face how I did not attend lectures, even though I attended most if not all the lectures for the module.

My general feelings on Uni have turned quite drastically since last semester and I'm quite close to calling it quits despite the fact I know a) how disappointed my parents would be and b) how disappointed I'd be in my self, which too me is more important. Is that selfish? 

So now I have the option to either resit in August, I'm confident that I'd pass this time as I would submit the essay earlier to ensure that I can submit it. However, I have exams in three other modules, two of which I feel I can pass, and one I'm sure I will not pass. Or the other option is to drop out, assess my life and maybe change my course next year which has its own list of pros and cons, mainly cons!

I'd like to thank anyone who has read this :)
