Its crunch time. Telling the family I failed

[n4sty]

Ive been playing online poker for a while now and decided in january I wanted to play it for a living. I now earn a nice bit from poker and I'm moving into a new house with the money. This is definatly the path I want to take in life.
The only problem is this. My whole family are expecting me to graduate this summer and then to get a good job in the city or a hospital or something noble!
however, there is a huge issue with this; I kinda dropped out of uni (mostly by not going to lectures/seminars because I was playing poker). So today I have to tell them that I have failed university again (I've been there for about 4 years now!) and they are totally expecting me to graduate.
I'm sitting upstairs now with the fear!!! How the [censored] do I tell them?? I'm the first person to goto uni in the family there gonna be so dissapointed!!! More importantly though is that they will worry about me to the point it makes them ill. I really dont want to inflict that on them. Suggestions?
