Waking up at 1 am to cry hysterically because if this doesn't go away by friday morning, I'm going to fail step due to being very ill: CHECK CHECK CHECK

if I still have chills in the morning I'm going to the doctor. Then calling Momma Medschool's office and seeing if i can move step back. I don't know since I'm past the 5 day deadline and I don't know if the prometric site will have an opening.

I can't fail because of the cold or flu. I just can't. They won't let me, will they?

Good luck to Cupcake Queen, Aspiring Neurosurgeon, and all others taking step tomorrow. I'll be sending good vibes your way!
