No, it's not core. I'm an Arts student (yeah yeah

). But I won't be remaining an arts student...I think I'll do journalism next year, or a double degree of Arts-something...but okay, so it's not that big of a deal then...the other problem is I suffer from low level depression (have done for years), which has always made it difficult for me to work unless I take stuff like hypericum (St. John's Wort) and other stress relievers...

...the other thing I'm worried about is whether the fail would affect my chances of changing into Journalism (this year the cutoff point was a TER of 92). Apparently I can still use my yr 12 score (93.3) to get in to courses next year, but I'm not sure whether the fail would affect that or not.
