Petition Letter: Hello I would like to request a late drop for a course because I have not been feeling well this semester. I have experienced a respiratory flu from Feb to March. I have been experiencing insomnia for around a year. I have talked with Sasha and with a physician about it at the wellness center this semester. They said that it would take time to help with my insomnia and that they could not help with it immediately. They have arranged a meeting for me to meet with a professional on May.4th but I really need help now to sleep because I cannot focus on my studies during the day. I feel tired and dizzy during the day.

Most importantly I have experienced frequent times of severe throbbing in the head and my right hip has been on a lot of pain.
I have visited the Kingston Emergency on April.18th.2023 to get treatment. I had these pains for about 4 months now. I have had the hip problem before but it has been very severe this month to the point that I could not get up from bed. The severe throbbing in the head/hip and the insonmia preventes me from focusing on my study. My hip pain prevented me from going to my classes. These events affected my two important midterms in Econ 262. These pains happening in my body were beyond my control and they have affected my academic performance. I will upload the document about my physical illness.
