I am extremely bummed out right now because I have had type 1 diabetes since I was a little kid, and I have had it under control for a very long time, and I talked to my student services dean at the beginning of the semester and she basically told me that if I have it figured out, there's no need for accommodations, and I really didn't think there was any problem.
THEN of course...right in the middle of one of my exams last week...I get hit with a hypoglycemic attack. I keep glucose tablets on me at all times, and I ate them, and within about 40-45 minutes I was feeling better. But I was truly dazed and disoriented for that entire time... I went and talked to my Dean about it, and she said we can set up accommodations for future exams, but there really isn't much to do about this exam.
This really isn't a question as much as it is just a place to vent. I just spent so much time studying, and I know that the time I lost during the exam is going to be such a setback. I already know one major issue I missed and I'm sure there were others now that I am thinking back on it.
I just hate that this one class could make or break my GPA, especially if it went as bad as I think it might have.
Sorry to just rant.....I am just extremely upset about this. I should have had accommodations put in place from the beginning, but I so rarely get hit w/ these low blood sugar attacks anymore that I just didn't think it was necessary...and then the cruel law school gods decide to get me right in the middle of an exam.
Just sad....
