Okay, I'm not stupid. I know the latter is obviously the better choice but this is a special case.
I've been having some emotional problems lately...my friend died, and it triggered my depression and cutting habits again but fortunately I got professional help so I'm feeling a lot better now. I missed all my classes this week though.
This is my dilemma: my College Statistics mid-term is on Saturday, which means I have one whole day (tomorrow) and tonight to study. We have two mid-terms, and each is worth 25%, while the final exam is worth 30%. I've talked to my professor and she was really sympathetic, so she said that if I'm still not up for it by Saturday, I can opt not to take the test and just have the second mid-term worth 50%. It'll be the same test as all the other students and everything.
Which option should I take? I can't really concentrate on studying right now BUT we're only covering the first four chapters for the first test so it's not that hard. On the other hand, if I opt to have the second test only, I can relax a bit more and also, study really hard for that second mid-term. The downside would be that since the topics are harder, I might have a harder time.
If you were in my shoes, which option would you take?
And please don't give me lectures about cutting and depression. I already got over it.
