Assistant Dean rules!

[ciroccoj]

Went to see the A. Dean. Told him what's going on, and he suggested this:

1. keep attending class and doing readings and finding time to see my mom
   
2. go have surgery
   
3. try to keep up with other people's notes and/or recordings
   
4. come see him when I'm back
   
5. if I feel OK, keep going until exams
   
6. if I don't feel I can do the exams at the set time, we'll rebook any/all of them
   
7. if I write them and then think I bombed, I can defer whatever class(es) I bombed
   
8. that way I can pass into second year, not have to repay tuition for those courses, and take the exams again next year after auditing whatever parts of the course I missed this time

I didn't even know it was possible to defer marks for a year. Wow. I'm so glad I went to see him.
