law school: May 2007 Archives

I very rarely ever get sick. Sure, I get lots of sinus headaches and allergy related sniffles and stomach aches from eating way too much ice cream, but when it comes to knock down drag out sickyness, I'm usually pretty lucky. So why oh why did I have to come down with the illness from hell during the last week of my last round of law school finals??

I have spent a good chunk of the last three days in bed. Not laying in bed studying, but laying in bed coughing and sneezing and wheezing. I've got a sore throat and a fever and a head so stuffed up I can barely see straight. Oh, and I have a final tomorrow and two take homes due later in the week.

I have barely studied for tomorrow's final and even if I had, unless I feel significantly better all the studying in the world is not going to help me. Right now, three hours seems like a long time to be upright and awake PERIOD, let alone trying to focus. And of course, this being, oh, seven days before I graduate, I need to get all of my finals taken (and passed!) this week. Even if I could somehow get a few extra days to study before the final I'm supposed to take tomorrow it would just screw up the finals I have left.

This is really not good ... I just need to pass ....
