I know I was going to do my 15 weeks post yesterday (Wednesday), but today (Thursday) is the last day of my last semester in a college program called Pathway. It's through BYU Idaho, and with my hyperemesis this semester has been hard. It's Math too, which is hard enough for a healthy Ashleigh to handle.
Anyway a "big part" of my grade is attending Thursday night "gatherings" for the religion part and a little bit of the math part. For this semester you supposedly could only miss 4 gatherings before you fail automatically. Because of my bed rest/ hyperemesis I have been unable to go. My teacher told me I was a lost cause. She said BYU wouldn't budge on my attendance so she wouldn't either. I decided I wasn't going to waste all my hard work because one sassy teacher told me I couldn't do it. I've been told that before and it only made my comeback much more embarrassing for the teacher(s) who have told me "you can't do it" or "find a better way to spend your time, there's nothing more you can do." However, we called BYU and they're like "Um, yeah we are willing to budge on your attendance. Especially with how hard you have been working." So I have been spending the past 3 days doing a lot of work to get my grade up enough to prove myself. They couldn't do anything until I turned in all late work. As of right now I have to finish a paper and do my final exam. I have an 83% in the class even before turning those two things in. If this sassy teacher fails me because I couldn't go to class from my medical condition, she is going to get an earful (again) from me, my husband, and BYU.
Right now I'm taking a break and about to go eat something because I haven't eaten today. I've been pretty sick today. In less than 8 hours I will be DONE with this semester and I will rejoice from finishing my little program because it means I can finally do regular online university stuff.
Hallelujah.
