<p>So I feel really sick right now, I have a headache, runny nose, sore throat. I'm definitely going to the health center to get looked at in a bit. I have a chemistry exam tonight from 7-9 PM that's worth 20% of my final grade that I definitely don't feel like taking at the moment.</p>

<p>So a few questions:</p>

<ol>
<li>What can I do to make myself feel slightly better to take the exam? Is it a good idea to skip classes today?</li>
<li>What can I do in general to make myself get better? Also, if I'm still sick tomorrow, should I skip a 2nd day in a row of classes? since that could be a lot of work to catch up on.</li>
<li>What can I do to not get my 3 room/suite mates sick as well?</li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks for all of your help</p>

<p>Send an email to your prof telling him/her that you’re sick and that you’re going to the health center. Tell him that it is very unlikely that you’ll be well enough to take the test tonight. </p>

<p>With all the worry about spreading illnesses right now, your prof will likely accept documentation that you went to the health center as an excuse to take the test later.</p>

<p>Get to the health center. Drink plenty of fluids. Bedrest!</p>
