I’ve been studying really hard for an exam I’m supposed to sit on Friday. The exam itself costs me £100. DH is working away just now so I’ve sorted breakfast club for my youngest and a friend to watch my eldest so I can drive to the college to sit my exam.
And DD has come down with a sickness bug! Poor thing is in my room with me now and back & forth to the toilet.
The problem is, I know how these things tend to go and even if DD stops being sick before tomorrow, there’s a pretty reasonable chance either me or my eldest are going to catch it and that’ll be £100 down the drain.
I’m trying so hard to built a better future for us but I’m just feeling so defeated! Rescheduling the exam will push me really far behind on my course. I have 3 exams to sit between now and April and I’m already 5 weeks behind on my course. The reason I’m behind is because I already had to delay an exam because it fell on my other daughters first school sports day and her dad was away so if I didn’t go she’d have had no one there. Also, there are only a few dates available for me to sit the exams and if I don’t manage on Friday, then there will literally be 3 available dates for my 3 exams which scares me as there’s no room for things to go wrong. Also, if I fail an exam, I won’t be able to resit and pass because there are no extra dates.
I’ve worked so hard on this course but it feels as though things are conspiring against me
