Well here I am in my last few weeks of school. We just had our 5th exam plus our last week of clinical and now we get Thanksging break. But.....when we return on Monday we take our final exam. I have the worst cold and feel so exhausted and don't even know where to begin to study. Not to mention I went home for the holidays and will have a house full of people. My head is pounding and my body aches and all I want to do is sleep. I want to do well on this final but feel so out of it. Thank-You for letting me vent. Why is it we get sick at the worst possible times?

just take a day to rest and regain your health. trying to study will just stress you out and possibly prolong your illness. just sleep and stop worrying. you will feel better in a day or two and then you will still have a long weekend to study. keep your book handy in case you get a bout of energy and read over the most interesting/enjoyable stuff first, while you aren't feeling well. trying to tackle the difficult material while you feel like crap probably won't get you anywhere. good luck and happy thanksgiving :) hope you feel better ASAP.

Thank You so much :) I guess I am a bit stressed. The final counts for 20% of our grade and I am carrying an 82 but I heard everyone bombs the final. I need a 75 average to pass. What is the lowest grade I could get. I figured it out but not sure I am right. Having a head cold makes it so hard to think.

OP I hope you feel better. I'm just getting over feeling ill myself. I totally know how you feel. I'm having family over, finals are in 2 weeks, I'm just so over studying. BTW- I think you have no problems passing the you class. I'm the one that should be nervous. I need a 75 to pass and have one exam and a paper left which is leave 60 more percent.I pray to God that I make it.
