More Cheaters!

So, a few weeks ago I caught a kid cheating in my afternoon class. I gave her and the boy she copied off of a zero. This incident really pissed me off, and I was just starting to like my afternoon class again when I caught another kid plagiarizing. Or, rather, the nifty plagiarism software program caught the kid. I set up a conference with him today, and he 'fessed up without much struggle. Then his eyes teared up. He quietly said "Thank you" when I offered him the chance to rewrite the paper with a grade penalty, and then we moved on to another subject. He left in a pretty dejected mood. When it was over, I went to my TA meeting and got a nosebleed from the stress. Stupid f#$&ing cheaters!

Bitchy Comment

Can everyone please stop talking about the weather? You'd think they'd never seen autumn before. Just put on your hoodie and shut up.

Funny Picture







Lara took these pictures of us on Saturday. I like them. They're kind of funny. I wish I were clever enough to add witty captions.
We went to a Halloween party. I was "Someone Who Has an Actual Social Life." Lara and Shannon were Juno MacGuff and Paulie Bleaker, and their costumes were awesome.
