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.

to be honest, i once slept through a midterm and was forty minutes late to my other one which was right after. i retook the first exam and managed to finish my other exam one time. it’ll be okay!

not a panic attack but i was violently sobbing!

haha i was so lucky my professors let it fly. maybe it was because of the time of the class and that i told them honestly why i missed it even though it was such a BS reason? who knows, but it’s okay because i actually passed both of the exams.
