Should I go to class today?!
Question: My English Comp class is tonight at 6:00, should I go, or stay at home and get to feeling better? I have really bad sinus issues right now, my whole face is swollen from so much congestion and my head is pounding! It is a thirteen class semester, and my teacher allows 2 absences for this whole semester ( I haven't missed any yet, only the third class today ). I have a paper to turn in, but he said if you miss class you can email it to him so that no points will be deducted. Also, any in class assignments that I miss that day I cannot make up, they are 10% of my final grade. I feel really awful! I wear contacts, and I can't even stand to put them in without my eyes burning really bad, and I have no glasses to wear! I feel so guilty about not showing up to class though. Should I tough it out, or just stay home?
Also, do you think it would be appropriate to have my fiance drop my paper off to my teaher face to face in the case that I don't go (he has a class at that same time)?

E-mail your paper, along with an explaination of why your not going to be in class. Get some Tylenol Sinus or Sudafed, make a nice cup of tea, and go to bed. I hate when people who are really sick come to class ( or work) and then a couple days later, I'M sick!!! ( I convinced a co-worker to go home last nite because she was coughing and hacking all over the place, and I didn't want to end up sick)
I don't think your fiance dropping off your paper is so appropriate, at least the professors I have wouldn't be so impressed.
Feel Better!
I think you should try to go. How long is the class? If it's a 3 hour class then you might want to try to go for an hour?
If u really don't feel like you can make it then don't go have the fiance drop off the paper,. But if u feel like u can make it then u should go. With them only allowing 2 absences you need to make sure that u are smart about using them.
Go to class, let the professor see how bad you feel and look and then ask him if you could just go home instead of staying.
Email your professor and let them make a decision on how they want to receive the paper.
