Alrighty, so here is Mare's ethical struggle for the day. As per my request, Ryan emailed me the answers to the Paper 2 that we have to hand in Monday that James found on the internet. Strictly speaking, I'm not copying the answers straight off of the key, I'm more using it as a 'helpful hints' type thing where I look at it if I'm having trouble. The ethical question is: Is this cheating? So far, I'm only half-way through question 2 (my well-intentioned work ethic isn't doing so well today - more intentions than actual work), so if it is cheating I haven't gotten very far with it. Actually, the main reason I'm still on #2 is I hate vectors and suck at them, so I'm trying to get through them based on notes, which really isn't working. Anywho, let's take a poll: Cheating or Not?
So today's "Quotes of the Day" email had a fantabulous quote which I think describes my life wonderfully: "I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it" - Garrison Keillor . Really, this is what I do everyday. Well, mainly when I have problems that need to be addressed. I like to deny that there is a problem in the hopes of making it go away. See, if I act like it isn't there, maybe it will realize it has no friends and go away to find some. Unfortunately, this never works. However, I am attempting to grow out of my five-year-old mentality and address my problems. Clare and Rabe can attest to my attempts. Badly done, almost non-existent attempts, but attempts nonetheless. Which reminds me...I talked to Mark about my issue with ... oh what shall we call him ...Vlad will work, I suppose ... and he recommended I talk to Vlad's gf. As good as this advice is I don't really know Vlad's gf well enough to talk to her, so I emailed Vlad to try and get a better handle on the sitch. And, I was pleasantly surprised, he actually opened up a little. Now I need to figure out what to do. Crap. I suck in these situations. I replied to his email, so I'm waiting for a response, which could take a few days. I'll keep you updated.

1. No, not cheating. See, what i did is i tried to do it on my own, but then, if i was terribly stuck, i would look at it for help. then it would point me in the right direction and i would continue. it's pretty much the same we would end up doing at school anyways.
2. The most interesting thing about that quote is that i actually know who the quotee is! YAY! Garrison Keillor is hott.lol. no.
3. Handling situations=not rabe's smart area. ask clare, the dear abby.
mare, just tellin ya, your link to willis doesn't work. you typed in "og" instead of "of". but it's hott anyways.
K, think it's fixed...
