The Demise of SUPER!Student

highlyeccentricSo... yours truly, normally known as SUPER!Student, has found her Kryptonite- in this case, a persistent rattly cough and a brain made of cotton wool. Devoted people, such as ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
goblinpaladin and the Wife, have been forcing her through her readings and to at least start French grammar study. Logical essay construction is a bit beyond her at the moment.
As a result, SUPER!Student has been reduced to asking for extensions. Getting SUPER!Student to contact Awesome and her french teacher required the Wife sitting down, searching the department website, and threatening to email Awesome herself if S!S wouldn't. Protests that it is S!S's own fault for running down her immune system with whacky sleeping habits and the tendancy to write philology essays between the hours of 11pm and 3am were to no avail. Apparently one is not supposed to be made of steel, and apparently that is what the appeals process is for. Who would've thought?
So. I'm not sitting my grammar exam today. Caroline has asked me to do it on Wednesday instead- I'm waiting on confirmation of my english extension, since english would normally be due on wednesday. Awesome has already emailed me and emailed the extension-approving-man, so that should be ok. A week extra for english, two days for French. Just hope I do actually get better and not worse by Wednesday.
