<p>If you were sick, say, with food poisoning or the flu or something of that nature, and you were in physical pain out of bed - either your stomach hurt, you were nauseous, etc - but you had a lot of homework and a test to study for, what do you do?</p>
<p>Stay in bed and try to get better, or try to push through and get your work done. You would most likely be going to school tomorrow, regardless. </p>
<p>I may or may not be going through this right now.</p>
<p>Your going through this right now.</p>
<p>You’re* - and yes I am, that was implied, kind of. I have salmonella food poisoning. I’m currently in bed, trying to muster the strength to do around 4-5 hours of homework.</p>
<p>i had food poisoning and refused to leave my room for like three days, but then it was only because i had to go to the hospital.</p>
<p>Well I’d try and do it throughout the day instead of waiting until 7 PM to start.</p>
<p>I was sick with the flu for like 2 weeks last year and had sooo much work to do. It was right before Thanksgiving and I had an English paper to write and a bunch of AP stuff. I went back after Thanksgiving and of course I, the procrastinator, didn’t touch my AP stuff until the night before I went back to school (so 2 weeks of being absent, and a week of Thanksgiving break). Pulled an all nighter to get a huge project done.</p>
<p>I’d do as much busy work as I could and then tackle any history/math I was assigned (love those two subjects).</p>
<p>Sleep. And you lack time management skills if you have 4-5 hours of homework every night.</p>
<p>What would the 80-year-old version of yourself tell you to do in this situation?</p>
<p>@Repede - I rarely have homework on a regular basis - however, my Dual Enrollment class is tomorrow, and I have to finish a research project as the final grade or whatever, along with studying for a Government test which takes a while.</p>
<p>Skip tomorrow.</p>
<p>Balance is key.</p>
<p>If I were in this situation–as I’ve been before when I’d attended public school–, I’d set an alarm for around 2am (give or take depending on how much work/studying is to be done) & get some rest. When the alarm goes off the following morning, I’d then determine whether I was okay to attend school. If my answer is “yes,” then I’d make some coffee & get my work done before getting ready to go, even if I got to school late that morning. If I, otherwise, still felt sick, I’d get more rest after setting another alarm.</p>
<p>It’s my priority, not only to acheive greatness in my life, but to take care of my well-being throughout the process. After all, I want to enjoy my life. There are always going to be obstacles that are out of your control. You can, however, control how you get through them–whether it be by allowing yourself or pushing yourself. In a situation as this, I’d choose the former.</p>
<p>Get well & good luck :)</p>
<p>My priority nowadays is to get to class, personally, but that’s only because I suffered through several months of mono during my junior year, missing a lot of school. </p>
<p>I really do recommend staying home with salmonella, though, you’re not going to be getting anything out of school while that sick. Better just to rest, and email your teachers about catching up as early as possible.</p>
<p>Just be thankful that what you’ve got won’t last for several months! 
</p>
<p>Hope you recover soon, and that being sick doesn’t suck too badly for you!</p>
<p>I always stay home if I’m sick. Have a work from home day.</p>
<p>Stay home from school and finish your homework. Your teachers will let you make up tests, and for any additional homework that you incur, you get three days to make it all up. Just be sure to really stay on top of your work when you’re at home :)</p>
<p>Also, lots of water and lots of sleep will do you well.</p>
<p>I did the majority of my homework - I didn’t read a chapter for AP Literature but thats okay, I guess. I can just BS some comment to make in discussion. Calculus homework is surprisingly soothing when you can’t move from your bed, lol. Mhm, derivatives of inverse trig functions.</p>
<p>As for the final project, I’m just gonna skip the class tomorrow - the class itself is a joke and I have an A since everything is open book and whatnot.</p>
<p>Eh, fairly successful, I guess. I’m gonna see if my condition deteriorates or not and decide from there whether or not I’ll be going to school tomorrow. If only I could control the weather, then I’d bury New England in snow and hope for a snow day, lol.</p>
