Awful first year grades - feeling very dejected

Hi guys,

I am a first year LLB student at a semi-top RG uni and have just receieved my grades back. I felt like I did try, definitely could've done more, and I know where I have fallen. My exams were very close together and I just crumbled under the pressure. I just feel despondent with everything - I have aspirations of working for a decent commerical firm (Burges/CMS) but I'm not sure how much these grades will hold me back; especially those in contract and tort. Any advice would be appreciated! See below for full grades.

Criminal - 58%
Tort (part 1) - 68%
Tort (part 2) - 40%
Contract - 49%
Law and State - 55%
Constitutional Law - 62%

Thank you in advance :)
