That sucks D;
I was concerned about failing one of my 1st year exams because the resists are during my American holiday, which would have sucked... incredibly. But t'was fine, I got my results a week ago.

Well, it's as part of my degree here, American and English Literature. My studying there doesn't count directly towards my degree, I just have to pass - and research for my 4th year dissertation. So I think I could take a variety of classes.

As for the location, I honestly have no idea. Each institution has a couple of exchange places, and the people with the best 1st year grades get first pick. I have a 2:1 (but a low one) so I think it'll be 'lucky dip' for me. I find out next term.
