...because they crash with school!

Apparently, my psychiatrist thought it would be quite hilarious to schedule my appointments at times that were BOUND to be in the middle of class, so that I would miss relatively large parts of the day whenever I have an appointment. Normally, this wouldn't bother me. Especially since today's appointment is in the middle of maths class, and I don't like maths anyways. It's actually quite a nice excuse to "miss" class. This time, though, there's just one wee problem. 
I'm in the IB now, which means that if I have more than 15% absence in any one subject, I may not get to sit the exam, which in turn will mean that I will not get my diploma. And I really need to get it right the first time, because I can't be bothered to retake College later. Not to mention that if my documents says I failed my diploma because of absence, that's gonna be a negative with any employer. 

Now, this wouldn't be half bad if it was a one-time happening. But I'll be seeing my psychiatrist approximately once a week at least until November, and after that I'll start getting full-day absences once a month. And I'm pretty sure I cannot specifically request Saturday appointments at the National Hospital.
So all in all, I guess I'm screwed. Unless situations like this qualifies for extra absence, although I can't see why it would. 

Rounding off, do you guys like to have appointments in the middle of class?
