Besides the usual chicken soup, taking vitamins, and trying to keep the body away from horrible activities, how do you manage to study while you're feeling under the weather? Right now I'm feeling foggy in retaining information and physically miserable thanks to a flu.

It's September. Why are you studying at all right now?

Do you mean doing your reading or actual studying?

School-outing aside, this SUCKS. An optional midterm to guarantee points now is about as benevolent thing a prof can do. What class?

It's for Contracts, and it's not for optional points. This midterm is optional and doesn't count towards the final grade.
Sickness has actually gotten worse today so the likelihood of success is at an all time low.

Well in that case, forget it. Stay in your jammies, order Pho*, load up the netflix, sleep, and recover as fast as possible. Better to fall behind on weekend work than missing classes.
*Pho > chicken noodle soup.

All of this, but especially the Pho.

Anyone know where I can buy like a vial of flu or something to get me reasonably sick for a week or two?

I don't think you have to prep for the midterm if it's ungraded. Review the night before to get an idea of your exam taking skills, and what you need to change come December. Any substantive memorization is a waste. You also want to avoid the trap of prioritizing any one exam too much.
