they don't make anything easy
... but I suppose it's not as difficult as it could be.
If I withdraw from my exams this week, my next chance to take them will not be earlier than September. This does not strike me as a solution. Especially given that this Saturday is not the funeral, but rather a brief (they're talking like ten minutes, tops) interment of ashes, to which my mother and her brother and sisters (and presumably their mother) are going, but not my father, my brother, either of my cousins (one of whom lives maybe twenty minutes away), their father, etc., it seems excessive to everyone for me to come all the way home and disrupt so much for it.
So, not withdrawing from my exams. But still: urgh. Bad week for them. Badness. So, off goes a note from college to the Proctors saying Please alert the examiners to the mitigating circumstances facing this student, and have them take this into consideration when they're marking.
Best possible outcome? We'll see.
I do fine with keeping it together, as long as I don't have to talk about it.

You'll be fine, just keep your head down and keep as much momentum as you can until you're done. Don't forget to eat, sleep, and shower, it makes a big difference.
Strength to your arm.
