High point of your year

[Tingkai]

So what was the best thing that happened to you this year?

[Solly]

Putting £100 on a 11/1 Liverpool and Burscough double one weekend. Both results came in with last-minute goals.

One of the most happy moments was when my teacher told me that my work about Liutprand of Cremona was very good. I've spent ages translating the sources and preparing it, and I was afraid it will end up as in the previous year - with a giant, giant diappointement.

The last week definitely seems like it will be the low point of my year.

Okay, in layman's terms, what are you talking about.

Don't tell me the friggen bastards laid you off before Christmas.

In my case, getting a new job that finally pays real money.

[Tingkai]

What's the job?

[Richelieu]

I'm an SAP security consultant. Nothing exciting but it's much better than being an SAP helpdesk agent.

I am a Research Assistant going towards my PHD. My grades are suppose to stay above a 3.0. I had one more class to finish (Which I was taking), some more research to engage in (about 6 months) and then my dissertation write. In my final class, I was given a C, which because I haven't had good grades in the past (I have only had one A), puts me irrevertibly below a 3.0. Which means I won't be able to stay in graduate school.

I have asked if anything can be worked out. (I was doing decently all semester, then messed up in december)

(note my advisor might be upset by my poor performance and ask me to leave anyway, which would also result in leaving the program)
