03/29/2005 Entry: "Plagiarize, let nothing evade your eyes"
A former "friend" once "borrowed" a paper I wrote - I loaned it to her so she could get the footnotes; this was in 1991 or 1992, before everything in the Universe was on the Innahnet. I got a "C" on the paper, and figured that with the research marked out, she could read the sources and write a better paper since I clearly hadn't done a good job on that one. I specifically marked it up to reduce temptation; who would plagiarize a "C" paper, for chrissakes!!!? If you're going to steal, steal from the best! The bitch had HER HUSBAND retype the thing verbatim (as the copy I gave her had my name all over it and a big circle around the citations she was supposed to use for her RESEARCH) and she turned it in. She couldn't even be bothered to retype it herself.
She received an "A".
Apparently, a "C" at a California university is worth an "A" at a Washington State university.
Jill Elise M.V.J., if you're out there, I still hate you.
