GRRRR

I think the reason that students plagiarize so much is because they really don't want to to the assignment or the topic is too hard for them to understand so they don't really know how to answer it. Granted there's the occasional student who thinks that the teacher won't notice that what they handed in wasn't written by them, but half the time it's because the student doesn't fully understand the topic and is afraid to ask the teacher.

Stupid Cell Phone

Ok so I went to Verizon 2 weeks ago and complained about my phone and how when I would call someone there was some sort of a reverb that only I was hearing. They gave me another phone (same model) and it was working fine for like 2 days and then it wouldn't vibrate when it was on vibrate mode. I went to the Verizon store up by school (I usually go to the one in the mall) because it was so early last Tuesday that the mall wasn't open yet, and I asked them if they could give me another phone even though I just got this one the week before. They said it was fine and would take about 20 minutes but when I asked if my pictures would transfer over like the other time they told me no so I walked out. A day later my phone started to vibrate again and then this Wednesday my phone just suddenly stopped vibrating again so now I have no idea if I have a text or an incoming call unless my phone is on an actual volume. I'm going to the mall hopefully tomorrow after work to complain AGAIN to verizon and see what they can do. And the best part is as of yesterday, the reverb is back so I'm majorly ticked off. I despise my cell phone with a deep burning passion.

Horrible!!

My mom forgot the pumpkin pie yesterday....I was so upset by this :'( But otherwise Thanksgiving wasn't that bad. There was 14 of us and both my dad and I had to work from 6a-3p yesterday which kinda sucked but it was time and a half which means mucho christmas spending money!!! I'm pretty happy since I have everyone's presents done except my dad and two of my bestest friends....then I'm spending the rest on myself.

Thanksgiving Day!

So working this morning from 6 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon kinda stunk but the customers were all in a pretty good mood so I'm not going to complain, plus 9 hours of getting paid time and a half = a very nice check. Family is coming down around 4pm and this year there's 14 of us instead of 10. There's going to be loads and loads of food when the family gets here so I'm pretty excited, expecially since I come from an all Italian family so that means there's A LOT of food. I just can't wait for the pumpkin pie :)

Darn classes

Last Tuesday night I could've sworn that my Chemistry teacher had said that we were only having the lab portion of the class and not the lecture portion because she had something to do at the high school she teaches at during the day. I was all excited that I was going to be home by 515 instead of 8 but I was highly mistaken. Turns out I had mixed up the weeks. Tonight I wound up having 2 lectures instead of a lab and a lecture...or as I thought it was going to be just the lab...but she wound up letting us leave at 545 because she couldn't really find something else to talk about or teach us so she told us to go and have a good thanksgiving.

Toll prices to go up!?!

On the front page of the Asbury Park Press yesterday made me so mad! Next monday the toll prices are going to be raised. I was so mad when I read this because I take the parkway to school every day since it's a lot faster and easier than taking route 9 all the way from Lacey to Toms River. My mom and dad weren't very happy either when they found that out. I'm kinda mad because now I have to leave for school earlier and it's bad enough I leave between 7 and 715 in the morning. I'm really starting to hate this state. >[
