I'm finishing up exams for the summer term. I have one more final and then I'm free.

While this is great I'm scared about by best friend (and recently girlfriend). The school requires you maintain an average above 60 each term or you have to repeat the term. Due to the nature of the co-op program, there are 2 streams of students that alternate between school term and working. If she fails here, which she is fairly certain will happen, it will put us on alternating streams (I'll be in school while she's working and vice versa). That means that I won't see her until our streams coincide which will be towards the end of undergrad. I feel like these last few weeks are the only ones I'll have left with her and I'm not ready to part ways.

That's scary, but is there any chance she can still pick herself up? Maybe you can help her get working or something?

I have been helping her out, but its tough. At the end of the day I can only help her study, I have no control over how her exam goes. We've both finished four exams already and the last one is tomorrow. All that's left is to hope for lots of part marks and that the finals in her stronger classes went very well.

Good luck my man. Worst-case it's always worth trying to appeal to whatever administration there is to keep her on that schedule. Then again, frustrating as it is it might honestly be better for her to focus on her studies instead of the relationship. Hope it works out!
