Scrub that, I was being arrogant.
Attempting to complete a three-year degree in three years, while dealing with all the other problems I face on a day-to-day basis, and also pursuing all the possible activities I am thriving upon?

Wasn't going to happen.

Something had to give. And the three choices were:

* Not pursuing the activities. At which point I become a nothing, and even if I complete the degree on time and get everything else sorted I'm not employable.
* Not dealing adequately with the other issues. At which point I would be stuck at Fortress Weymouth at the end of the degree, with nothing gained apart from a meaningless piece of paper and debt approachinig One Rock.
* Not completing the degree in three years. And it is possible to complete it in more time than that, for this to be actually planned, and the headroom saved may well be necessary. And there's no means of proving 'what might have been had you carried on', as there is on GAMBLING PARTY, and thus no room for regret.

Hold me to this: I am going to be studying part-time.
