I'm freaking out. I'm afraid I'm going to fail physics. I've missed so much class, and I wasn't exactly doing well on the tests before I started getting sick. Now I've got a test tomorrow, and while it's on a part of physics that I always enjoyed more in high school, I've had little practice with this. I've e-mailed the professor explaining that I've been sick, but he hasn't responded to my email, so I have no idea what's going through his head about this. And I don't want to ever have to take this class again, but I need it for PT. And now I can't stop freaking to go to sleep, and I need sleep if I want to stand a chance on this test.

The worst part is that I know I've brought a lot of this on myself. I have the feeling that I should have worked through some of the yicky-feeling, dosed myself up on some meds and gone to class even if I wouldn't have been able to concentrate, but I just didn't want to and now I'm having problems.

Normally I'm more upbeat, but right now I hate most of my classes. The only one I've truely enjoyed completely this year has been my Religion class. The stuff I need, either to complete the credits or as pre-requisits are driving me nuts. And I have another semester of this, without Religion to make up for it. Right now I just want out.

Edited to add: I'm not really this upset normally, but I'm tired and freaking and it's a vicious cycle right now. When I wake up tomorrow, I know it'll be better. And there's only a few more days of class, then the final exam, and then I'll have all of Christmas break to recharge. Things will get better.

(Even though you're not normally like this, allow me to attempt to be comforting. :))

*hugs, hugs and more hugs*

I'm sorry you're feeling like this. Stress is a bad bad thing.

If your professor hasn't responded to your email by then, can you try talking to him tomorrow before the test? And maybe, if you do do badly, you can do something extra to bring your mark up.

And dosed-up on meds, in class not concentrating or learning vs. lying in bed, getting better? You made the right choice. Being in class probably wouldn't have done any good if you couldn't concentrate.

Just focus on making it to Christmas holidays. :) *snuggles* *uses cute!Ford to make you smile* Hmm. Moments like this make me wish I had a McKay icon...

Here you go! The loveable scientists!

I was still feeling sick, so I missed the test. I'll e-mail him again, set up a time to talk.

I hope it goes well!

Physics / Math help

You may not remember, but I worked my way through grad school as a physics instructor. I helped run the labs, and in competitive tests, my students, and those of the other geologists did better than those taught by physics grad students. Something about English being our native language.

Please call with any questions - or call, and I'll call back, on our (free) long-distance nickel.

Right now it's not so much the actual physics part. I can understand what we're doing in lab, and I can understand the book. But I haven't had much practice with the equations, and I haven't been in class a lot.

That and I'm still feeling sick and yucky.

But thanks for the offer.
