thanks very much

You are in Ketu dasa till Oct 2010. Rightnow you are in Ketu/Saturn a very malefic period. Ketu is placed in 9th with Sun in 0-degree. Poor Sun karaka for father shows some problems related to father. Transiting Saturn also aspects your Ket/Sun in 9th and 10th lord MARS. It appears that you have been goofing up your studies due to depression or bad company. Karmic planets RAHU/KETU/SATURN are here to teach all of us "PUT YOUR ACT TOGETHER".
Please do regular pooja and start focussing in your studies and it would work magic for you. These transits will pass and you should be OK in long term. Your situation should improve after Sept 2009 based on astakvargha.
Regards
Bhuwan
