strength of materials was... rough... but I totally owned my fluid mechanics test today! Although, to be fair, it was *very* easy. I would say, only half as hard as the regular tests, which was surprising.
except for... cheater kid. He was in the row in front of mine on the right, next to the wall. In addition to the test and the formula sheet and different charts the teacher gave us, c.k. had his notes and all the previous tests. And as he went through the test, he referred frequently to them. friends, this is cheating. and even after years of learning not to take candy from strangers, and to let a grown-up know if something's wrong... i didn't know what to do.
I didn't want to be a bitch or a tattle-tale (i'm 20 years old! can i even be a 'tattle-tale' now, or is 'whistle-blower'?), but I was so upset! I think if I were sitting next to him, i could just pass him a "stop it, you fiend" note. I WANT HIM TO FAIL! I WANT HIM TO FEEL MY ACADEMIC WRATH!!! I wanted the t.a. to see his cheatery and immediately fail him and send him away.
But I turned in my test and left. what was I supposed to do?

Ohhh. I hate the cheater kid. If you know for sure that he is cheating, just go up to the T.A. like you have a question about the exam and say, "When I go back to my seat you should, please, walk around and check what some people have on their desk. Please check the kid in front of me first."
arg i wanted to!! but it was a really small classroom so you could have heard me- it was just very steep so the t.a. couldn't see anything.
I weighed my options, I thought writing a note was a little hokey but now i REALLY WISH I HAD DONE SOMETHING! even just a stink eye!
