My writing Proffesor hates me, I have proof now -
Niamh,
Ethan pointed out that your paragraph from paper 2 was
very very much like one of his draft paragraphs. I
looked at the draft, and agreed that they are very
similar. He even uses the same quotation, though he
also uses at least one more. His draft paragraph is
similarly narrative, and gives most of the same
information. However, he completely rewrote his final
paper.
I could give you an F right now for that paper just
for doing this, but since you did not write a passing
paper anyway, I am giving you notice that you cannot
copy from another person's paper or any text in this
way. The next time I catch it, your paper will receive
an F.
My reply -
I'm appaled that I would even be accused of this. I wrote my first and second paper before I even read his. I sent him my original paper to be reviewed even before he sent me his. Actually, I never even recieved his complete paper, only a portion of his. I don't need to cheat off of other people. As you said, I didn't pass anyways, so it doesn't matter. This is just completely ludicrous.

Okay. I didn't give you an F, I just wanted you to
know that if you were influenced, even unconsciously,
you need to look out for this, but the paragraphs do
look quite similar.
Oh yes, thanks for giving me a D instead of an F, I'm -SO- greatful.

Don't let it get you down. In the long term you can forget about it.
P.S. I've noticed that the attractive people at haunt usually don't get masks unless they request them. If you go for it, just be honest about your desire to wear the really wonderful makeup instead of a prosthetic. They usually start to round up the talent during mid July.
I too am glad i'm done with college, and i'm glad i'm NOT going into corporate america where i'd have to deal with this also.
Good luck!
