Apparently anyways...
Lol
Well basically I failed my first project of the year (not making excuses but the whole thing was a shambles, we were supposed to get the brief over the summer but half the class didn't get it until the first lesson and had to come up with a theme OVERNIGHT...I was one of those people).

Anyways I got an E, Feedback was that my design work wasn't up to scratch and that I picked a bad theme (hey I don't think I did bad for picking a theme overnight) , I think she expected me to burst into tears or something like I did when I was money stressing.
NO TEARS HAPPENED.
I freaked myself out something silly because I just smilled this gigantic grin (why the hell did I smile, I just got my only bad grade, surely I should have been a pool on the ground even I expected a slight sniffle), said thank you and went back to finishing my current project.

I suppose maybe it's that so many people told me that they really liked the stuff I did with the eye drawings and the henna design made me smile, (no it wasn't all just people I know and friends and family etc etc etc, I posted some of the reallky crap quality photos on a few art sites and people said they loved them but wanted better photos).
What's one person's opinion against that?

They want me to re-take the module but I'm trying to avoid that unless I fail another one or something.

Surely I'm allowed one bad grade right? Or does the whole university's place in the league table hang in the ballence because I got an E?

Right I'm gonna go back to freaking the life out myself with a huge grin :S

Edit: Excuse me for this, I was ranting...It takes more than two hours to plan one's future...Forgive me

Ok so apparently my stuff for the current project "is only just going to get you a pass" and I have to do the resit too.
Right well after a massive group hug from most of my class after having my sould ripped out and stomped on I have made a decission.
I will not be leaving straight away, because if I leave she wins.
However if I don't get at least and average on the current project I will appeal it (this is based on people pointing out during my mini break down that I've never missed one of her lessons, yet she's hardly ever in and when she is I'm always the last person she gets to while her giggling favorites who hardly ever turn up get seen all the time and get good grades).
If my appaeal fails I will sit the rest of the year but I won't do resits, I'll use the rest of the years stuff for my portfolio and I will see about getting a bussiness grant and setting up as an independent textile designer. That's what I wanted to do in the first damn place anyway, I'm sick of people trying to push me into high up stuff, yeah ok it looks great for the uni if they push out the next Cath Kidston or whatever but that's not what I want to be. I want my little niche market and I'll be happy.
If my appeal works, then yay! Another year of stress to go and then I'm done. I'm only doing my degree year, and then no more. I'm not taking a pointless masters year. I've gone over this with the tecnitions (they're pretty impartial because it doesn't matter if they help churn out the next Vivienne Westwood* they get none of the glory for it, the lecturers and the uni itself do), and they pretty much said for what it is I want to do taking fourth year wouldn't really do much, fourth year is for the people that want to work for huge companies.
I couldn't stand that, I freak out if I see the same fabric all over the place as it is, certainly don't wantsomething of mine to do that!

*Nowhere churned out Vivienne Westwood, she didn't go to university to study fashion/textiles, she did however say that "Heriot Watt's School of Textiles has the best resources I've ever seen, it's a shame nobody seems to have any talent"
