Missing too much school
Hey there.
I'm an 18 yo Female! : )
Basically school started on August 25th, and I've already missed 4 classes in a row in the past 2 weeks. Last week I had a cold and my doctor said I was too sick to go to school, and this week I had pink eye. so I've had to stay off.
Tomorrow's going to be the 4th day of class I've missed. I've been e-mailing my teachers letting them know what's going on. I just don't want to be completely lost when I go back to class, I've been keeping up with the work.
Do yall think there's anything else I should do? I don't want them to think I'm skipping.

okay when you get back to school, just give a note to the teacher written from your doctor saying that you've been really sick to to school. and it's a good thing you've been keeping up with the work eventhough you've missed many days of school. so just get a note from the doctor saying that you were really ill to go school because teachers believe you when you get a note from the doctor.

Your doing really good, but make apptmnts. to meet with your teachers to get the lectures and other important information that you missed from not being actually IN the class.

Deep breath. You are doing exactly the right things.
If it's just a cold and pink eye... these things will pass pretty soon and you can get back to class no problem. When you do get back, as a fellow student to borrow thier notes, or to go over the notes with so you know you've covered everything.
The truth is, your teachers are probably impressed that you even care this much. A lot of college students wouldn't bother as much as you have done. For now, just keep up with what they send you and focus on getting better. Once you get back you'll have a better idea of what you've missed and you can either contect with other students or ask your teachers, about how to best get caught up.

I would ask the doctor for a note to bring in and show your teachers as soon as you get back.
Your education is important, yes, but your health comes first. If you are truly too sick to go to class, you can not help that.
I think teachers in college look at it as, if you show up to class you show up...if not, then you don't. It's your loss. You pay to go to school so they are not going to stress it if you don't show up.
Keep emailing, let them know you'll have a doctors note for them, and keep up with the work you're missing. As long as you show concern and care and you still keep up with the work even though you're out of class, that shows enough determination.
