Gargling salt water is said to help. I've also had good results with hot water with honey, lemon, and ginger mixed in.

Good luck. maybe you'll get a couple of sympathy points?

Ooh. I had forgotten the salt water. I hope seasons salt tastes good. (all we have.) I've had tea with honey and lemon. I didn't think to get ginger and I'm not sure if turmeric would be a good sub. Hmmm.

I hope I get some bonus points. I didn't plan it. It's not my fault that it's going back around at school again.

I think the lemon juice is supposed to be the important part--tightens up the vocal cords or something? I remember my sister using it; she's a singer. Maybe experiment with different things this evening? I don't think the effects of any of them last for long; you'll have to take it with you to the exam in a travel mug or something. (I suppose you'd have to excuse yourself to the bathroom for the gargling bit, which might be difficult depending on the format of the exam. But hopefully the teacher will understand if you explain.)

My teacher heard my voice and moved it to Wednesday at 1. It was so sad. I was like "I'm sorry. I'm trying. And I got like no sleep because I was coughing all night." And I was. It was so difficult to sleep. She was like "oh, wow" when heard it. I got more stuff to make dinner with. I've been drinking a lot of lemon juice and honey in my tea.

Poor kid. Hope it went well for you!

Nope. I got a 66.5% on it. I can't win to lose with French. If I get like .35 more, I think I think get an 80 (B) in the class. (I want a higher GPA since I worked my ass off.)

[emaciatedwords]

Aw. I hate being so close to the next letter grade.

[veracity]

I do, too. Because it's obvious if you're working your butt off, you ought to get something for it.
