Answer 1

Hi!

Yea stay home! if it isn't better by tuesday and it is like it is now go to your doctor or stay home and get a friend to bring you your work so you don't have to catch up when you get back!!!!!!  

Answer 2

Yes, please stay home.  Don't think only about your own classes, and work, think about everyone else who will undoubtedly be sickened by your sneezing, coughing, etc.  Just rest and feel better!
