Special Ed, Part 2
I hate having to do this, but I just made special arrangements to be allowed more time during exams. I had my quiz on Monday and didn't come close to finishing it. So, I spoke to my professor. He advised me that, because of my diagnosis, I am supposed to be taking my exams and quizes at a separate time, and allowed a bit more time. Some ADD/ADHD students in the class have already made these arrangements. I knew this, but have not had to request it in the past. However, I have just realized that a concentrated course in which I must choke down 2 entire chapters and 2 labs per week is too much for someone who gets mesmerized by shiny objects. And works full time, too.
So, my shrink filed the paperwork yesterday.
Let me just share with you how the conversation went:
I asked the good doctor to write a letter on my behalf for special arrangements (which is required by the university). When I explained why I needed it, the response, from my psychiatrist mind you, was "A 5-week intensive chemistry class? Are you crazy?!"
Sigh. Isn't that what I am paying him to find out??
"That's a lot of work! You're going to be very, very busy! And very stressed!"
Yes, I already am knee-deep in chem shit. I realized that. And my blood pressure hasn't seen 120/80 in about 6 days.
"You absolutely must take more time to take your exams."
Then I called the woman who heads up the university's learning center and deals with students with disabilities. I explained my situation to her about the ADHD, and she calmly told me that she makes accommodations for ADHD students all the time and its nothing to be ashamed about. (I am, of course, completely freaked out by having to actually take advantage of the arrangements. Or maybe it's just really hitting me that this fucking thing affects my thought processing. And that scares me.) She then proceeds to tell me "I've had students stare at a pencil they just dropped on the floor for 10 minutes during an exam."
Great. I have shiny pencils.
