This is the week before midterms and it’s important for me to pay attention in class. However I’m very distracted right now. My mom got admitted to the hospital last night and is having kidney stone surgery today. I wish I wasn’t 10 hours away.
Go to the Counseling Center and talk to them about this.
Also know that Kidney Stone surgery is pretty straight foward and should fix the issue.
Talk to your professors about what is happening. It is better if they know. Talk to them about what to focus on for the mid-terms…may be they will give you some clues.
Form a study group to help you focus on studying.
Think about what your mom would want…she would probably say “Don’t worry, I am in good hands…your Dad (or whoever) is here to take good care of me…I want you do well on your tests.”
