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.
