Oh my god.

So I thought my final written exam for French was tomorrow at 1:30. I just went back to check the e-mail for the time.

The final written exam was on Monday.

I fly out on Thursday.

I don't know what to do.

ETA: I spoke to my parents on the phone about it. And they both advised me to email my professor and my advisor, which I am. And said it's not the end of the world because it's an elective class, so even if I end up failing, it won't put me in danger of graduating or not finishing my major or anything like that. But I just remembered my acceptance into study abroad was contingent upon retaining an acceptable academic GPA. If I fail, I won't have that and I'll probably be kicked out of the study abroad program. I am going to start hyperventilating again.

Okay, honestly, the one time I did that I went right to the prof right away, explained what happened, and they were totally understanding. Usually if you're upfront they are completely fine with things.I also may have been sobbing too, so, you might want to avoid that, cause she looked reealllllllly uncomfortable

OH BABY. *hooooooooooooooooooooolds forever* I agree with the person above me, explain the situation to your professor and hope they understand, which they would likely do? I mean, it really can't get any worse :/ *holds and loves you forever* I wish I could actually help, ILU <3333333333333333333333333

oh no that sounds terrifying oh no coyoteeeee *so many hugs* surely someone must understand, I mean this has to happen to people with some frequency? and today is only tuesday, people get off-sync by a day. I hope your advisor is helpful and I'm sure this sort of thing can be made up, and I REALLY do not think you'll get kicked out of study abroad over this. *a million billion hugs*

I feel like I'm going to throw up or pass out. This has been such an awful quarter. I really just think I need to stop doing things that aren't academics, because clearly I can't handle it.

COYOTE YOU ARE A HAWK AND CAN HANDLE ANYTHING. IT'S THE TIGER BLOOD, IT JUST MAKES YOUR LIFE CRAZY. YOU CAN'T HELP THAT.

ENJOY FLORIDA AND FAMILIAR <33333 I will see you sometime when you get back. We'll cure ourselves of school with fandom and ficwriting :D

Hi hon,

As a professor? I would be understanding, and have been in the past, with students who have made basic human (*human*) errors. I have my fingers crossed for you. I sincerely hope my counterparts over there are as reasonable. It *is* an issue; the fear is that you may have a contact within the course who emailed you the exam, etc. That's the concern, so the main thing is to be totally, utterly upfront about anything that may have impacted on you. Don't hold back with anything that might help your request, including stress that might have impacted upon your recollection of dates. I know, I know, what rubbish, but the thing is, usually as a professor you're looking for a way to give a student a break. Stress is the cure all.

The very best of luck, my dear.

Prof. here too. I agree - contact immediately, explain, beg for retest or incomplete that you make up ASAP. Your prof wants summer break as much as you do, but they probably don't want to make a new exam. They may have an older version in the files. Best of luck!

I'm sure people make mistakes like this all the time, and they probably have some kind of contingency plan in place. Good luck!

Red! Augh, I can only imagine how frazzled you are right :((((

Remember that no one wants you to fail, no one wants you to be disqualified from the study abroad program. Like the actual professors have said, most of them really want to help you, so be upfront, explain the circumstances, and odds are pretty good you'll be okay.

As an option to potentially give to your prof, I've written exams out-of-province before (taking a distance class). We co-ordinated it through the local university and I wrote at their test and exam centre, instead of flying five hours just to write a test. I can't imagine similar arrangements don't exist in the US.
