Thanks for all the advice guys. The professor just emailed me back asking for an emergency dean note (I think I can get that alright) and that I will be able to just take the final and have it count as both tests. Relief...

I told him my story and that I am willing to do whatever it takes to make up for it, whether it be taking a make up test this upcoming week or pooling the midterm pts into the final test grade (adding the 25% to what I get on the final). I guess Ill have to see how he responds. He seems like a nice guy, but I have never been in this situation before.

So I missed my Econ 302 midterm last night because of illness, I was throwing up do to bad leftovers I ate (atleast I believe thats what upset my stomach, couldve just been dorm food). I emailed the professor about it and I am hoping he lets me take it at another time or combines this test amount with the next. Anybody have experience missing one like this? Or have advice? Im kinda freaking out because it was 25% of my grade.

The two are fighting to much that the Econ Dept will no longer allow ANY transfers of credit for the class after this summer semester. Most Business students would go to UIC, NIU, SIU for the class where it would be infinitely easier. The professors/TAs they choose to teach this class just have it out for students.

IMO, critics would hail it for design but would claim it still falls short in terms of performance for price (also hard to see what critics would say if another company made this product as it would be compared to an iphone skewing the judgments there too since its now a competitive product to the Apple brand, etc).

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 3, 2010 -> 09:18 PM) I live in Michigan and work in Indiana. If you took Detroit out of Michigan, the rest of the state is far nicer than anything that I've seen in Illinois except Chicago itself. Agreed, if you like nature, Michigan is a great state to live in.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 3, 2010 -> 09:11 PM) What's left in Michigan? It has the lakes for one, which has some great scenary.

(A bit off topic, but stemming from the hot dog water comment) I feel like starting a thread on seeing which is the worst state: Ohio, Michigan, Indiana. Having been to all three, I would go Indiana.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 2, 2010 -> 08:59 PM) Ultimate Warrior, I think you have many SoxTalk awards in your future, just saying I cant believe he only has 24 posts.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 1, 2010 -> 08:39 AM) Oh there is worse... we could always send him to the Pittsburgh Pirates of White Sox message boards... Ive heard that they have a beautiful website, but they cant seem to hang onto the better and more veteran posters for very long.

Wow, watching that video they are putting a ton into this Harry Potter theme, actually looks pretty good, but then again thats just the artist renderings and probably will come out cheesier than advertised.

QUOTE (drowninginflame @ Mar 31, 2010 -> 02:36 PM) We all live in New Orleans. I moved here two years ago. Ahh, I saw that your avatar info says from Chicago so I just figured you were vacationing or something. Great city, I definitely want to spend a few years there at some point.

QUOTE (drowninginflame @ Mar 31, 2010 -> 02:33 PM) I'm leaving New Orleans Friday night to go to the game on Saturday. It's my gf's first Sox game. It's gonna be fun because it's me, and her best friend, who's also from Chicago and her best friend's bf is from ATL. We're going to the home opener too vs. the Cubs, we're getting Braves t shirts and wearing our Sox hats. I'm bringing her up for Cubs/Sox as well. I'm excited for this season. What were you there for? I was just there all of last week.
