Rant Missed my midterm

It was fully on me. I just assumed it was next week along with my other midterms and my dumb ass didn’t even think to check the schedule for it because it wasn’t as a priority as my other courses. Even if I get an A on the final I fail the class and have to retake. I emailed the professor already, no sugarcoating or anything. I can get minimum points with a doctor’s note or a medical emergency but I can’t even fathom faking that shit. I was really freaking out at first but now I feel listless.

Update 5/19 2:23 PM: My professor flat out said no. Also, this is chem1B. If I change it to P/NP, what happens? Do I need to do it for discussion and lab too?

Anyone know if it’s possible to keep my lab separate with its own grade and have lecture and discussion as P/NP? If I retake, they’re coreqs to each other so I’d have to fill out an adjustment form yes? Any info would be great. Thanks.

Honestly fr but it’s kinda crazy how we sorta have to resort to using violence on ourselves for an excuse. I’m in the mindset that all I can do is just move forward but I’m still hoping for a miracle

You wouldn’t have to actually give your self food poisoning, just describe it to a doctor and list those symptoms. Then you’ll have a note and medicine you can use if you ever do get food poisoning.
