I think my fellow CPA candidate buddy has a stomach virus, and she can’t focus on studying! First world problems, I know, but now I can’t study because I know she is in pain, what should I do??? What would YOU do?

Sounds more like an excuse to me. There is nothing you can do to help her. Don't let the virus take down two of us. Cmon man.

Buy her the ninja audio and make her listen to it while she gets better. Keep a good distance so you dont catch it yourself!

Haha I actually had a stomach virus the weekend before I re-took audit. It was absolutely terrible. I just kept on truckin' and studied anyway. I took the first day of the stomach bug off to watch TV and rest then after that I went back to full throttle! It took me a bit longer to study because my focus wasn't as good but I sucked it up and got through it. Also stomach bugs usually are only really bad for 2-3 days then they begin to chill out! But either way don't let it distract you! Not your stomach bug, not your problem 🙂 wish her well and say you'll be there to help her (assuming you were study buddies) when she is 100% again because you can't afford to get what she has!
