Crap, I just had a student plagiarize part of her paper. Dumb. And she's a really good writer, there was no need to do that. Now she's torpedoed her grade in the class.

OH, that's too bad.

Oy. I have to say, I feel like I did that by accident all the time -- assuming it's a non-referenced section of an article or something. Good thing I was in school pre-Google!

I have an eyeball problem! Wednesday morning as I was getting ready, it was really red, but I thought I had gotten shampoo in my eye, so I just came to work, and it did get better. It's been a little itchy, but OK, and I have allergies anyway. Then last night/this morning, it was super itchy in my sleep and I woke up with it SUPER puffy, but not that gunky and not that red. Again, it's gotten better over the past couple of hours. So I'm thinking it's a physical problem, not viral or bacterial. I hope I'm right not to to the doctor!! Because I ain't got time for that shit. I could make time this afternoon if need be.

Jesse, the last time that happened to me I had a corneal abrasion. Maybe try some anti-redness eyedrops? They've helped immensely in the past.

MAC, damnit. Please stop giving your mother shit to worry about, and start acting like a human with common sense.

ND, good luck in getting through it all.

CJ, funny, but not funny. Glad it was just makeup.

Burrell, that's a shame. I'm also with Jesse (surprise) in that I feel like I did that inadvertently all of the time.

Zen, I'm glad you cancelled. You were only buying your ticket via FinnAir. You weren't actually flying them; the flights would be operated by American and British Airways. Codeshare tickets are tricky if there's any sort of hiccup. I use those types of sites to compare prices, and then try and book the cheapest itinerary on the airline's site itself. Many of the airlines have a price match guarantee, so you might be able to call and have the difference refunded.

edit: I just looked at airfare.com's site. They sell consolidator tickets, which are often not eligible for frequent flyer miles, and are the lowest rung for help in case of irregular operations. I'm really convinced you made the right call for yourself now.

Sox, so much ~ma for your DH. I hope it all goes well.

Eye-healing~ma, Jesse. I hope it takes care of itself.

Man, I thought of a good costume idea this morning, but I would need a wig. Mrs. Roper - I have pretty much everything and it would be so comfortable.

-t, that would be AWESOME.

Yeah, I think it's something like that, and I am not going to go to the doctor, because PITA.

Good news! My $2.3m has not actually been sent yet, but now it will be.

Hooray money!

Mostly hooray for not fucking up on our end!
