Has anyone else ever got this problem?

 

At the start of the academic year all my grades were around the 70% region.Then I started to get some that were around 65%. I had to hand in a bunch of reports on Monday and I was not convinced any of them would get 65%, perhaps not even 60% (except for one which happened to be for a module I am very good at). I then had to do a presentation on Wednesday and the examiners that I gave it too looked bored as sin as I waffled on for ages about IPTV technology. Anyway, I was just sitting at my laptop typing up some of my dissertation and I just had to delete 2000 words in one section and start again because it was so crap... I mean utter crap, like it was written by a child.

This year (third year) I am pulling an average grade of 65.5% so far, but if I want to go into further education after my degree, realistically I have to keep it at that level or better. Basically for those of you that don't know about British universities 70%+ is a 1st (A), 60-70% is a 2/1 (B), 50-60% 2/2 (C) and so on. If you want to have a real chance to do further education after your degree you have to get a good 2/1.

I know I only have myself to blame really. Urgh, I feel like crap, I've had enough work for today.
