My college gave incoming freshmen an entire session on plagiarism, to the point that I got cited after going through a museum with a classmate and pointing something out. They also required every freshman to take a class for which we had to turn in a two-page paper every single week. We moaned and bitched, but I'm grateful for it - taught me how to write competently and on a deadline.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

yeah, they don't do that anymore.
Smonster, I don't know if all of your Freshmakers have online access (or you can provide it), but you can send them to [link] There's also a link to a quick 10 question quiz (of which I got one wrong! but more on that later)

that's a great quiz Vortex. Schools should have those on some sort of academic resources page: "Not Sure? Take this Quiz."

The gym is changing me. I actually have started getting up earlier so I can go in before work. Of course, I'm only doing three machines so I'm not getting in a soppy, sweaty mess, plus I live in a cubicle without much face-to-face interaction, so no one can quibble too much. I don't spend a lot of time on my morning ritual, unlike the girl in the locker room who was preparing her hair implements when I got there and was still in the process of arranging each strand on her head when I was finished working out and went back to change.

Huh? You aren't the guest.
Yeah, I'm actually not there. V forgot that he asked me and that I had said no problem and got a different guest. I found out when I asked him for details yesterday a few hours after I posted that.

yeah, I think so. I've been considering writing on plagiarism for a while now, with a focus on societal issues/pressures, etc. Also, there's some interesting stuff going right now with economists and how they don't have a code of ethics.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Tomorrow I have an intake appointment with a dietician, Wednesday my first PT appointment, and Thursday the follow up with the hematologist. I'm working on not going into complete panic mode.
Why are you panicking? This all sounds good and helpful and all that stuff. Annoying and timeconsuming, but positive nonetheless.

Thank you, Vortex and Maria. Posts marked. He did misunderstand the assignment, and is going to write something else tonight.
Y'all, it is One of Those Days. Three called in this morning, one b/c he had literally clotheslined himself and cut his head open*. The complicated rail we worked on for hours disappeared and had to be redone, my best helper had to go pick his sick kid up from school, someone snapped the tip off my 1" chisel, and so on and so forth.
* he ran out of a friend's house in the rain and into a clothesline pole. Why yes, this would be the one with ADHD.

I really hate doctors. Probably too much time spent with them as a kid, just having all of these appointments even if they're not technically bad appointments, is extremely stressful for me. Plus new people. Plus there is the chance that the weight clinic people are going to tell me to eat nothing but steamed veggies, egg whites, and grilled chicken, which would be bad because I will probably laugh in their faces.
