Huge Problem...

<p>So it's my last real week of school as next week is finals. I have a bunch of big projects and assignments due this week as well as several tests. The problem I'm facing with this is that I've been terribly sick since last Saturday and haven't attended school the past 3 days. This is probably the sickest I've ever been in my life. So sick, in fact, that I can hardly get out of bed even with the help of tylenol and advil. So even if I were to get the makeup work from school, I wouldn't be able to do it because my fever runs up to 103~104 and I have moments where I shake violently and can't even talk properly. I went to the emergency room yesterday because of this but I was told that it's nothing too serious but I think they only told me that because I took some tylenol right before I left to go. </p>

<p>Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has had or heard of a similar experience? This is particularly stressful because the last week of school is next week so I don't know how I'd be able to make up the work and possibly study for finals if I'm even healthy again by the weekend which I'm not even sure of as I heard this type of sickness can last upwards of 10 days. Do you think they'd possibly give me the grade I have now and over the summer let me make up my work and turn it in next fall?</p>

<p>Oh, and I'll be a senior next fall.</p>

<p>okay, call your school now. ask about your options-can you make up work by a certain date (last grading day?) and then get finals exemption? can you take all your finals in august, with people who had failed them without it being on your transcript? these are all things to consider.</p>

<p>if it makes you feel any better, i had a HORRIFIC flu (similar to yours it sounds) in 8th grade (i know that doesn't really sound that bad-but honestly, it was because 8th grade at my MS was harder than frosh and soph year in terms of finals-and they counted for 50% of my grade!) I was sick. as. a. dog. for the week before finals, and forced myself to study a bit. Somehow I managed.</p>

<p>Well my dad just left for my school to see if he can clear this all up. Basically he's going to ask if I can somehow make up the assignments and projects over the summer and have it turned in the beginning of school next year. I'm not sure about the exemption of finals though...I don't think I've heard of my school letting people retake finals who failed it.</p>

<p>Serious bad time to be this sick, huh?</p>
