I am in a better mood than I was last night. I was in charge of putting together our slides for a group presentation in one of my classes. I noticed that one of the members did not put any citations in the text. I was going to do it for her, so I looked at her references and found out where she got the information. I was very upset to find that none of the stuff in her slide notes were her own words. She copied and pasted it directly from the sources. This is nothing but plaigerism! This could have cost our group everything that we had worked for. We could have all gotten an F, been kicked out of school, or worse. We gave her a chance to redo her part, which she did, but it still wasn't right. So last night I was up until 11:30 working on it, which it had to be turned in by midnight. I only had 30 minutes to spare. And I turned her into both the academic advisors and the instructor. I doubt they'll kick her out though. I was furious!
On a good note, we are getting a new truck. It is a 2002 Chevrolet Z-71. It is slick. The payments aren't going to be any hire than on our other truck. We are trading it in, which it is dented pretty bad, but we got a good deal on it. I wanted to keep it, but this truck is much nicer. I am glad that it seems like everything is working out for the best for my family. We are also going to be getting a phone this week, so ya!!! for me. Maybe then I can actually call my family instead of emailing them all the darn time. It gets old when that's all you can do.
