Nah don't worry I had listeria 3 times and milk was only one of them. You got to worry about caramel apples and hummus just as much.

Also don't get listeria I had a seizure while vomiting while taking a physics final and got yelled at for it in college. It's just not a fun time.

You got yelled at for having a seizure? WTF?

Yeah and told to finish the test. I also had a professor who let me take a final while bleeding after I was hit by a car on my bike on the way to class.

Both times I did not do particularly well.
I honestly think modern professors just don't care anymore, or expect 19 year olds to be way more mature and competent than they are.

My life was, and is, a train wreck.

Professors are burned and jaded so much by students taking advantage of their test taking policies that they fail to see when there should absolutely be an exception. Visible medical emergencies are certainly one of them. They should not only not be professors, they should be fired or arrested for endangering you. It's crazy that sort of thing can just happen, but it's absolutely realistic having been through it.

Hahaha my Japanese instructor in university was not particularly good at his job and when I told him I was planning to drop he told me I shouldn't cause the class would just get easier as it went.

When it was past the drop period he confided in me that he was actually only trained in Chinese but the kanji was about the same so was filling in until the school could find a real Japanese instructor and that he only needed a few more hours for tenure and if I had dropped he wouldn't have had enough students in the class for the hours to count...

I think Universities are broken just from the level of economic and social stress making people just be less involved in their work and more in themselves.

It's easier to keep the mill grinding than to stop and make sure it's working properly.
