tune

Email her, and finish the paperwork as soon as you can. I'm sorry that explaining stuff like that is total bs… But I believe in you! You've got this class, and you're going to do great in college in general.

wait, im panicking, how the heck do I write this??????????? wouldnt this be better if I did it in person?? waiiiiiiittttt?????? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
this is why im taking a communication class in the first place loooolllll
help I dont know what to doooooooo

Email first, say you can talk about it in person if needed (email is a good way to schedule a more private meeting if necessary). Explain that you're trying to get that paperwork filled out, too.

Do you wanna talk to the teacher in person? Cause like with the email you have time to think about what you wanna say, but with talking to her, you can get her reaction real-time and you may convey your message better. So it's up to you, whichever one you feel more comfortable with

Yeah actually thats probably better

That's right, you can kick this thing in the ass and get through academia with flying colors! I'm sorry I can't help much. Best to take Bec's advice!

thanks guys! I appreciate the help. it's hard for me to think these things through well sometimes without overthinking all of it.

I mean, honestly, if you need any advice on college stuff, I think we're both 2nd semester freshman, right? So we're kind of in the same boat, and I'm happy to help if you should ever need it.

Bump.

I'm being dumb again, what age is a freshman?

It's the first year. So for college it would be like 17-19

I see, though I still don't fully understand. I'm almost 17, so would that make me a freshman in America?

Are you in your last year of highschool or are you in college?

Ooh Lily what country are you from?

Okay, so basically, you have 4 years of an undergraduate program. The ages aren't set in stone, but if you go to college directly out of high school and finished everything in time, it should look like this:
1st year- Freshman (18-19)
2nd year- Sophomore (19-20)
3rd year- Junior (20-21)
4th year- Senior (21-22)
We call the 4 years of high school the same thing because America likes to keep things confusing. It seems dumber and dumber the more I think about it. So then for high school, you have:
1st year- Freshman (9th grade) (14-15)
2nd year- Sophomore (10th grade) (15-16)
3rd year- Junior (11th grade) (16-17)
4th year- Senior (12th grade) (17-18)

I see, this is all very different to how we have it here in the UK. I'm 17, in my first year of college, Year 12 as some call it, and I leave when I'm 18. The American school tiers are so confusing…

yeah, all the school systems are so different it's really confusing. And yeah @Becfromthedead we are both second semester college freshman. Im happy to help to, though I cant say i'll always have answers lol. I drafted an email to my teacher and sent it to my mom to proofread. she recommends I talk with her face to face since I would probably end up doing that anyway.

Cool. I'm glad you're getting everything sorted out.

This website gives a helpful comparison between the two systems. The American grade system is 1 number below the British year system (E.g. Year 7 is Grade 6, Year 10 is Grade 9)

Thank you!!

Off topic: Guys I'm meeting with Hospice care in like an hour or so and I don't know what to do or how to feel??!?

Oh goodness. I don't either. But if you need anything I'm totally here for you.

good luck red! im thinking of you!
I have a meeting with a new Rheumatologist today so if yall could be thinking about that, I just hope it all ends up well

Yeah, good luck, Lee.

Thanks… good luck to you too, hobbit! I hope these work out well for the both of us

I do as well.

That's because instead of "first year" we have "kindergarten" and then first grade

Also, best of luck, Lee! I really hope things go well for you! :)

my appointment went well! I liked the doctor, I learned a lot, I asked the right questions, got so many answers (I swear the doctor infodumped to me it was crazy), and I got the answers I was hoping to get.
how did everything go for you Red?? (if you dont mind sharing that is, please dont feel pressured to share anything you dont want to or dont feel comfortable with)

OH I'M GLAD IT WENT WELL FOR YOU!!!
That's great! Always awesome to see people get the things they need!
