Guess what?
A week is just not enough time to cram a whole semester of info into your brain. I’m also realizing that two days before the exam is probably not the best time to double the dose of brain-altering meds, no matter how much pain you’re in. My body is FREAKING OUT from the stress (I won’t go into the way TMI details, but, trust me, I’m a bit of a mess right now. Mirror-breaking kind of mess!) Back to Getting to Maybe. If I can’t learn substance, maybe I can learn how to properly BS my way into a B.

Good luck on finals. This is so none of my business, but have you spoken with your Dean of Academic Affairs to see about getting an extension on some of your finals due to your medical condition and change in medication? Our Dean is wonderful about working with students. I know we are fortunate and not all schools offer such flexibility. Of course, you may rather just get them over with, depending on your situation. I know my last final is Dec. 18th and that is already way to close to Christmas for me to feel like I will get a bit of down time to enjoy it.
Good luck!

Whew, finals are stressful enough, I agree with Dakota, beg for an extension! One of my law school cohorts actually broke out in a rash yesterday, apparently from the stress. And she’s only dealing with finals!

Thanks for the suggestion, ladies. I’ve thought about that but there’s a few things that have stopped me so far:
1) Not sure when this will all get better. I’d like to hope it will be soon but it may not be. So when would I push it until?
2) As a part-time student, there is really no time that would be any better. I will always have work and will always have my kid to deal with.
I’ve decided that I will take my first final and see how it goes. If it is devastatingly bad, I’ll run to the Dean’s office, doctor’s note in hand, and see what she says.
