Pleasant Surprises At 9 AM EST

Say what you want about her teaching, but my News I teacher has great timing.

I got an e-mail this morning around 9 AM telling me that she had the flu and therefore class would be cancelled until our next class on Monday.

Meanwhile, I was freaking out about getting a professor interview for my Facebook article (which I have to write tonight rather than tomorrow) and when I would do it, because the schedule was supposed to go as follows:

(10 AM - 11:40 AM) News I
(12 PM - 1 PM) Tabling in Campus Center for Cake Magazine
(1 PM - 1:50 PM) Democracies & Dictatorships
(2 PM - 2:50 PM) European Politics
(4 PM - 5:15 PM) Politics of Security in East Asia

Now? Scratch that first part and fill in "Interview with Interpersonal Communications Professor." Really, this was a live saver.

Less Stress, More Fun

So I realized while I was getting my interviews for the cheating article that got pushed back that...people cheating isn't news.

So I talked to Jackie, and the story got scrapped.

Best possible time, too, because I have a test on Friday and I need to do the IDs tonight.

So...I guess nothing in the paper for me this week. Except for boxes.

Deadlines and Headlines

Okay. So to clarify.

The cheating article is happening, but for next Thursday rather than this week's issue.

The Facebook article isn't running until like April 16h.

I just cleared this up today, and quite frankly, I'm pretty relieved that I didn't have two articles (and the "write it in one day" article on Thursday) due all on the same day.

Confused? I am.

No More Cheating

So apparently, I'm not writing the cheating article. So thanks to everyone who helped.

Year In Review (!!!!)

So in the midst of all these creeper friend requests, I find out from the editor of the Year in Review that my SOA article is making it in.

Yay!

Cheating Cheaters Who Cheat

I need people who are willing to say that they lie cheat and steal on papers and test.

Now, I know a ton of people at Charter who did it (duh), but I need people at my college for this article.

I'm writing a story for the paper about cheating (stems from an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education about essay mills), and I haven't been able to talk to people that cheat in college. I talked to someone who used to cheat in high school (thanks!), but no one in college. I need help!
