Applying for a week extension...

Due to my illness two weeks prior to the deadline and after careful consideration i've applied for the extra week via eventuating circumstances.  It is important that I finish this project to the best if my ability.  I feel that the final two shoots would ruin the book if they weren't completed.  I know this is a gamble but I want my book to the best is can be.  Due to this illness I'm already compromising on two shoots but I feel the others cannot be left out.
