Yes, I will have to take it (again) as it is required for my major/degree. Taking it in the summer I am discovering is a huge mistake; thank you for confirming that. There is not enough time to get through the material, and get help if needing it when run into trouble, and then master it. I definitely will NOT be retaking it during a summer session but during a regular semester.
I have an actual exam on Thursday, instead of quizzes, with tutoring again tomorrow and Wednesday. I will see how it goes and how she grades them (curve perhaps, then again someone always blows this.

) Given that the prof emailed today that she is now giving us more chances to improve the grades with the chance to redo homework and retaking quizzes, I am not the only one not doing well, which was a relief to find out today but I still am pressed for energy and time. My days are slipping. I keep wondering if I should I wait until I'm in a better position, with meds leveled out and with more time to digest the material?! I am starting to think so because despite trying to push through this, thinking I could do both, was purely sheer desperation to get done with school and not give in to this. I need to take the time to take care, school can wait. It has before; it will still be there. Through tears this pains me, knowing how the cycles of BP come and go, I should be used to it by now after all these years but will try to remember this too shall pass.. will try to remember.
Thank you everyone for your input; there has been a lot to consider and having other points of view has helped considerably. I can't thank you enough. Hugs

Have to go.
