cheating

So, some of my classmates (and yes, members of my own study group) have a copy of the leadership final and have offered it to me. I have flat out refused it though the temptation was GREAT to just use it. It is from last semester and may not even be the actual questions. It doesn't matter. If I fail out of school over this final then at least I do so knowing it was my own fault for not knowing the material. Of course everyone is rationalizing cheating in this class--and yes, there are lots of supposedly good reasons to say screw it and just use the test...

"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"

If I dont get a 75%, at least I've come away with my conscience intact. Wish I hadn't been faced with this dilemma as it is haunting me--these are good friends of mine. I won't turn them in--does that make me a coward?

Anyway, the slideshow is finally burned and ready to go after much playing with it, and I should be studying. Instead I am in my PJ's sipping coffee and surfing the net. Snow will do that to me--makes me lazy, I tell ya.

I am so down with your decision to forgo the temptation to use the final, especially as cranky as your instructors are. All I have left to do is take a final and make a minimum of a 30 on it to graduate. I'm still studying, because it's just not worth it to not do everything right at this point.
