*Coff*
Addendum to the Murphy's law about "when the repairman comes to look at your broken toaster, it will work perfectly"
Today I have a fever of 38 and a bit. Last night it was over 39 (the thermometer just reads "Hi" after that). But when I went to the quack yesterday, no fever. Why does this matter? (given that it's only an upper respiratory tract infection - it's not like the treatment changes("get some bloody rest"))
Because it matters for my exams. I'm not incapacitated , just impaired. I could attend my exam yesterday. I just wasn't performing my best. It's not going to make a difference between excelling and failing, but it could make a couple of points difference. I'm glad that special consideration doesn't mean boosting marks, but since I'm sick enough that getting out of bed seems a chore, I think that some kind of recognition within the system might be ... appropriate?
