I'm really sorry about your missed week of classes: That really sucks.
I know because twelve years ago my daughter got Mono and had to miss two
weeks, and her incompetent teachers wouldn't give her an excuse for the
*ON PREMISIS* major exam. She had to drop the class.

My daughter had Mono at 18 and it made a mess of her life for three
weeks. I had Mono at 17 and it made a mess of my life for three weeks,
including a week where I lay in bed instead of going to high school.
Mono's not fatal and leaves no permanent scars, but while you have it
it's absolutely miserable. My advice regarding Mono is to get plenty of
rest and sleep, and don't go kissing everyone you cross paths with. Of
course neither I nor my daughter followed that very same advice from
our parents, so there you go.

By the way, in 3rd grade I missed three full weeks because of Measles,
another non-fatal disease that's miserable. I came within microns of
flunking third grade.
