My brother got his results recently, and he did TERRIBLE! I mean honestly, only one pass...
I passed them all, but with low marks, and it was DAYS before my dad spoke to me again. Within 15 minutes, they were laughing and joking.
However, dad did disconnect the modem AGAIN... This is from a library, and it doesn't show dA very well... I don't know why, it's mostly white.
Anyway, don't even know if this journal entry will post.
On other news, the bank has made a major cockup (parden my language) with my savings account. I ask the guy to move six hundred into my savings account so I won't spend it. He ignored me. I spent it without knowing. I now have a rather large overdraft extenstion to see me through my first few weeks of University. Which I have to pay for this year (I think... Hopefully not...) which costs around... >1200 pounds. If I do have to pay for it, I hope it's in installments, or at least at the end of the year. With any luck, it will be lumped with my student loan, which I don't have to pay back until I earn over a certain amount a year.
*Sighs deeply*
Oh, person I asked a commission for, I have just written your address. The money will be in the post. Don't go moaning at me, I made a promise to pay for it, and I will. I've already got the money in the envelope.
However...
I will not be knocked down so easily. I WILL recover from all this. Once I find a job in an area where people are getting laid off from work. If that fails, then maybe...
*Shudders*
Maybe unemployment benefits are in my future...

I know how you feel on the exam thing, my older sister almost flunked all her exams and although true be told, dad did nag her for days about it, he did help her with her application form for her nursing course. (which she screwed up)
Me on the other hand, did alot better than her, with only one low mark on Maths. (It was the only one I studied for too.)
Instead of being proud that I manage to do all that without the extra help like my older sister got for her exams, he just kept going on at my low Math point and how I should have done better.
Sorry about the rant but what I'm trying to say is that I know the feeling.
I know how hurtful it is but I guess in your dad's case, he had high hopes for you but somehow it didn't work out like he hoped for. He learned then not to set the bar too high when your brother did his exams.
I know it sounds stupid and I guess you'd be right in saying it is. I don't know much about your family or your father but I think it might be that you were his first born son, so to him, you would have to be the best.
A bit like in history, the first born kids had alot to live up to while the second born kids didn't have to live up to anything as much.
It might not look like it now, but in time, it will get easier. You just have to have faith, even if life doesn't look good at the moment.

Wolf... I can't say how I would help you with this but... sometimes, it's like this. Remember the time you told me that your grandma didn't like you that you were born? I'm.. guessing that that comes into play with your family. Wolf, I just hope that you're doing alright with things around your place.
An overdraft is not a good thing and a lump sum of 1200 pound is not a good amount. I'm not exactly sure if you can by having installments cause if that's the thing, you might be charge for interest rate as well.
*sigh*
Wolf, I hope that you get this done with quickly. It's not good to have a liability on your part.
*hugs you tight*
Love you. So, don't give up without a fight. I know you won't.

Can is not the same as must but if you can and you must, there's no excuse for it.

By the sounds of things; it's really not going so well for you is it?
And what the hell did you spend all that money on anyway?
You should be able to pay in installments, if not then just make an appointment to see your bank and make a pay arrangement.
We need to get back on top of paying back our overdraft too
Not fun at all... I fucking hate debts.
And why does your dad keep disconnecting the modem? Why bother to pay for a service that he's not letting anyone use; or is he just disconnecting it when you or your brother want to use it?
Missing our banter; hope we get to hear from you properly soon.

DX I wish I could help. If I can, don't shy back of telling me, oke?
As for the bank... <.< Gotta love good clerks... *gargl* I have to say... this is normally one of the things that are SO worthy to get in Switzerland... Private Banking. The people there are pros. And I noted that at multiple occasions. <.<
Crossing my fingers for you here!
