    @Mumtoe&e you've got to learn to recognize jealousy and ignore it. You've got an issue with Maths and that is now a big deal? Well I've got 3 degrees and all of them are in Law- a first degree and two post-graduate degrees the last of which I just completed in England with a distinction- this regardless I'm almost an absolute dimwit when it comes to very basic mathematics; as a matter of fact as a kid I used to cry whenever my mother attempted putting me through basic arithmetic. You've got a 12 year old son competing for your attention and still you're on a 3. 9 G.P.A? you deserve some congratulations darling.
    This is not an issue of imperfection. In my view you're a superstar, go for that first class girl, yes you can :-)

    You know what sirborbey you are so right, thank you so much... And seen as how I was accused of boasting I may as well tell my story further, not only do I have a 12 year old I also have a 6 year old and on top of that I commute 80 miles per day in order to study at UCD, not missing one single day in class, so yes you're right that is all something to be proud of - thanks so much!! There will always be folk in the world destined to belittle you & bring you down then equally there will always be the nice folk who will lift you back up again thanks so much for your kind words & thanks for sharing your story, well done to you too

    3.68 is 1st class honours? That's quite low!
