Last week I was not in class due to the wonderful illness of Strep Throat. I unfortunately did not get to take Major Exam 1. I am kind of disappointed that I did not get to take the exam because I had been studying the vocabulary and the material in class for quite some time now. I feel like not taking the exam on time is actually a disadvantage because now I have to take it at the end of the semester and the information will not be new and right on my mind. I feel like it will put me behind because what if the next exam has information on it from the first one. Everyone may think I got lucky by getting to miss out on the exam but I would have traded any of you places. While all of you were taking the exam I had studied for I was lying in bed with a 102.6 fever going on my 3^rd day without eating because I could not hold anything down. So I will talk about how that was my first test since being moved out. It was a test for my mom to see if I could take care of myself and still get stuff done while I was what felt like dying. When I got sick in high school my mom was literally like my personal slave. She would take off of work and literally nourish me back to health. She made sure I ate and made sure I was taking my medicine on time. So this time I was all alone. I went to my very first doctor’s appointment by myself, went to the pharmacy by myself. It was her way of testing me to make sure I could be an adult. I had to try and eat, take care of my dog, take medicine and manage to rest all by myself and she thought I did okay but personally it was so difficult and I just wanted to lay in bed and sleep the whole time. So I may have not taken the Major Exam 1 in Mr. Stills class Thursday but I was still taking some other sort of test.
