I wouldn't call a 2:1 nearly failing and you got your degree which is more than
I ever did.

It is hard to finish projects when you don't have the motivation, we all know
that.  Who said that you were an excellent writer and why can't you write
reports? That is something that comes with practice and tutelage.

living in shanty towns, the third world or Gaza.
Don't despair things can get better only if you don't give up.
