I think you are right to try to get this before the office of disabilities because you are trying to help yourself and the college doesn't seem to be keeping up its end to help you. Courage!

Ah, right, I know I should do that. But I always tell myself that I'll try everything before that point. That maybe I won't need to talk to them because I'll handle it on my own.
I'm pretty sure we don't have an Office of Disablities... I'm guessing if you have one you'd go through Student Affairs and the Counselling Centre. It's probably something we should have, though.
I do know that my professor last semester made it clear that she couldn't give me another chance, besides something like a medical excuse. Had I told her from the beginning... it might have turned out differently. She's my advisor, though, so I'll be seeing plenty of her still.
The paper's due tomorrow. I'm going to stay up all night again and finish what I can. I have an appointment with the counsellor before class (and have to upload my paper before that), so we'll see what comes up. And assuming she did give me more time... my exam's next week, and it'd take away from studying for that. Not to mention I'd be constantly thinking about it. So, here's hoping I get something reasonable done tonight.
