Paper
So I am having a lot of issues with this paper. I hate writing formal papers and personally I really suck at it. I am on the verge of really losing my mind. I will be satisfied at this point if I make it out with a C, that's how sick and frustrated with this paper I really am. SN: I just discovered that I have been losing 15 points every week for not putting my site on the blog page....that is the dumbest assignment ever. I have no problem doing things that I am aware of. Sorry guys I just need to vent right now because on top of this school stuff I have a bunch of family issues going on as well. I think I should probably go now before I become really really upset. Maybe next week I will feel better about the situation. Thanks for allowing me to vent!

Plagiarism
I think that it is important that we all cite our sources so that we can give the proper credit to the original creator. I feel that they should be acknowledge especially if they are the ones doing all the foot work.
I am unsure as to what I would do if someone stole my work for their own. I know that I would be highly furious with that person. I would probably do my best to discredit any work that they do since we cannot be sure that it was their own idea and not someone else.
I have experienced doing all the foot work for someone only to have them say that it was their own. I did not sit back and allow it to happen though. I was able to present everything in the manner that the presentation was setup on. When the other person was asked to elaborate, they couldn't because they had none of the research. So of course they failed and I got an A because I had done all the work.
I do feel that the internet does blur some of the original authors. I mean I could go on google and type in a subject then go on ask and type the same thing. I will get the exact same article but with a different author. Any one on the internet can proclaim to be a real source. There aren't any guidelines really setup for that type of thing on the internet. So sad really.

Online Student
I love the fact that I do not have to sit in a traditional classroom. However it is not as flexible as I desired. When I was in school before we just had recorded classroom sessions that we could sign in and view at anytime. I liked that way better because I am not forced to wait until class to see my lecture. I can watch at 2am if that is what I desire. SN: Worrying myself to death about this paper. I want desperately to be past this class already. No more writing for the most part lol. Anyone else feel the same anxiety that I feel about this paper? Sometimes I get so down about it that I wonder why I chose to come back to school in the first place and subject myself to such madness. I am so close to the goal but its just not in me anymore. Arrggh slightly annoyed with the whole thing. God I hope that I can get through this so that I can see the brighter days.
