I need to vent.. I hate being sick! I have bad asthma and allergies and the common cold always turns complicated because of that for me. I've been in school just over a month now and I've already missed 2 days in each of my classes because of this and I am so frustrated. What's worse is their attendance policies are all 2-3 classes missed per semester and I'm freaked out that I'm going to be in trouble, even though my grades are all really good! So I have 2.5 more months of school and only 1 more class that I can potentially miss and with the way this season is setting up with me being sick all the time, I'm almost positive I'll go over that :(. I don't go to the dr every time I'm sick because really all they can do is tell me to ride it out or sometimes give me antibiotics if needed, but I guess I am not one of those people that can just push through the day when my lungs are burning and I'm wheezy and blah. Anyhow, thank you for listening you all -- I am just :thumbdown right now and sad because I should be in class :( |
Sorry to read you are sick and frustrated, with good reason. I sure hope you get to feeling good real soon. :thumbup: |
I'm sorry you're sick.:( I think that with medical issues like you have, you could get a dr. note and all would be well. You aren't not going just to not go and it wouldn't be fair to be punished for getting sick... |

They did accept this letter signed by the dr. and did not have any problems at the end of school year. Hope it works for you |
I was going to suggest what the poster above did. Just let your instructors know ahead of time and then maybe they will be more lenient with you. I wish you much luck :) |
Thank you guys, if I don't start to improve I will have to figure something out with my doctors. I think the thing is that my doctor's expect me to just get used to how I feel and push through it, which I WISH I could do, but this stuff just wipes me out beyond belief. I don't know how anyone can push through not being able to breathe well. I so appreciate the well wishes and advice, I am so grumpy today! I feel like a little kid writing myself excuses to my professors when I wish I could just be there doing the work. |
Sounds to me like the attendance policy is for unexcused abscenses... I would imagine a Dr. note would wipe you clean. I'm sorry you're sick. I can relate- when I am sick there is no "pushing through." I am such a baby!! Any it's OK to be grumpy! Rest, relax, take a hot bath and focus on getting better. If you are just stressing about it, it will just make things worse. Get better!! |
Oh hon, so sorry:getwellso |
