So. I'm failing my class. AND I talked to my boss/board.
It was expected, honestly, and its my fault. I have a week left. Worth it to complete the class? Or cut my losses and quit now?
Clearly, I need a Magic 8 ball to make life choices.
Also, I talked to the board and to my bosses. Their take is that people are assholes, I need to work only during office hours and not a moment more.

Re: So. I'm failing my class. AND I talked to my boss/board.
Quit now. Don't throw good time after bad.
That's awesome that your boss & board is backing you up. Now you don't need to feel guilty about stepping away after hours. You need the break!
And I'm sorry about your class. I would finish it. It's only 1 more week.
How did your Dr. appt go? What did the insurance/hospital say about the bill?
They didn't find anything. So, good. But also, they didn't find anything, so bad. They agreed to bill us. It took some talking, but after I explained to her that I had probably hit my deductible and told her 973240938 times that no, the credit card she was selling wasn't an option, she gave it. Thirty days will work much, much better than 18 hours.
Thanks for the support the other day
I would go ahead and finish it since you have only a week left anyway.
Glad to hear you got things straight at work, even though I have no clue what it was about.
Yay for your boss and board understanding!
Why are you failing, what are the consequences of failing and what would it take to not fail?
Sounds like you are getting a handle on this, too; and I think the others are right, finish the class so you can find out what's on the final.
And not one minute of unpaid overtime, Huber!
I'm serious about this Sue! Absoulutely undeniably serious!
There is still a very foggy chance I could pull the class out of thin air, so I'm going to try.
Sonrisa, I'm averaging a 50%, I need a 60% to pass. The ramifications are that it is the very last class I need to finish my BS. But as far as getting a raise or losing my job or whatever, there isn't any, I'll just have to try again.
I put in about the minimum amount of time required, and then a little bit less than that.
I'm glad your bosses and board are understanding. Now, let yourself relax on that front. People are going to b*tch that you're not killing yourself over your job (because they always do when they are jerks to begin with), so just let them. Boss is happy, and seems to be understanding of the situation, and that's what matters. Eff everyone else.
W/r/t your class: are you failing or getting a C "failing?" Will you have to re-take the class either way? At this point, if you have to retake it anyway, I'd quit the class. An F would look MUCH worse, IMO, on a transcript than a withdraw. However, if there is any chance at all that you could pull your grade up to anything even remotely acceptable, do it, and stay in the class.
Good luck.
Edit: After reading your updates/replies, I'm now just going to do a big "ditto" for what sonrisa said. Hit the books, girl, and you can be DONE!
Okay, here is what you are going to do:
You are going to scale back on your job, stat. Perhaps even take a day or two off. You are going to kiss your family, tell them you love them, but that you are going to be very busy for a few weeks. Tell your husband you love him and that he needs to be superman until June.
Then, you are going to take all that drive-yourself-insane energy you've been throwing into your job and put it into that class. Work hard and work smart. Eat, sleep and breathe the material until you know it. You can do this. It is just a few weeks. You are not paying for this class again, taking all the time to attend classes, study, do the homework, take the tests again. You are finishing now. This is your BS and it will be completed. Now.
I'm rooting for you.
I would talk to your professor about taking an Incomplete for the semester and then finishing the class over the summer. However, I know that professors aren't very willing to make concessions for students who haven't done much all semester and then come crying at the end of the term when they realize they're not doing well - I'm not assuming this is your case, but just that if it is, your prof might not go for the Incomplete. If s/he won't grant an Incomplete, then yes, work your butt off for the class for the next week. Take a couple of days off of work and do what you can to pass this class! It's your LAST ONE. You can do it!
See if you can withdraw. It will appear as a W on your transcript rather than an F. You may not care now, but you may in the future not want to have an F sitting there.
If you can W, do it.
ETA: Is there enough work left to allow you to pull up your grade? If so, listen to Sonrisa and work your asss off to get it done. Talk to your prof about taking an I and doing some make up work if possible, turn in anything you missed for half credit if you have to. An F is a suck hole that you will regret later. YOU CAN DO THIS!
