$1.98 yesterday. I was like this the whole time while pumping gas -->

Thanks guys. I needed a confirmation that he was being lazy.

I'll try to tell him that he shouldn't take an advantage of me that could hurt my grades, and tell him to read the damn chapters lol

Racist America lost big time hard core last night. The rest of us sent them and the rest of the world a message; we wont be controlled by fear and prejudice anymore. The rein of rich old white dudes is coming to an end so say the ethnic groups, women, young people, old people! everyone who voted yesterday for Obama.

Yea, I can imagine the shocked reaction of those old racist farts haha.

Or this crazy white republican lady on Holloween!

Letting someone copy homework because they were sick (or absent due to serious reasons) is one thing. I wouldn't do it except every once in a while, else they'll get to thinking they can mooch off you, but helping someone out like that, I don't see anything wrong with. Letting them copy your exam, espically when it's in the classroom, is not cool. Exams are supposed to test their knowledge, and if he knew an exam was coming up, he could've studied. After all, hospitials do have visiting hours, and he would've had time afterwards to study. Not to mention that getting caught would've cost you a grade because most teachers/professors will just simply give both parties an F, regardless of the circumstances.

That's a good point and I didn't thought about regarding his hospital situation where he could've spend it more efficiently when he had the time. It's also possible that even if she didn't caught him cheating on the spot, she would have anyway because the lab exam wasn't multiple choices like lecture exam we have in Bio class, so it was very obvious if someone copied off from the others or not with same answers and mistakes that I could have made on that lab exam. That's one of the things that I was worrying about it also.

If he gripes about it, offer to study with him and help him out. If you do your homework at the same time, he definatlly gets his done, and ya'll might end up doing it faster because you're working together. And that way, at least he'll have a shot of doing good on the exam without cheating. Well, except take-home exams. Copying someone's answers on that is just lazy considering if you really want to cheat, you can just open the book and at least have a chance of writing up the answer in a way that isn't like anyone elses.

Even though Bio class doesn't offer hometake exams (that was only in Religion class), you can balance it out if you attend the class daily. Daily quizzes and completion grade of labs are total 20% of the final grade, but he've been missing the class a lot either due to his vacation to Guantamala (that's another reason he did bad on his first lab exam) with his mom or visiting his friend at the hospital. All he had to do was kept up with the chapters and he would have done fine on this lab exam, and him trying to japardize my grade was really uncalled for. 3 of Lab exams are worth another 20% so it wasn't worth risking for - we have one more lab exam to go. I think that's what made me ticked mostly because he thought he could just copy it off from me and be lazy even with my helping emails and whatnot. I often let him copy my lab homeworks too. Urg. Anyway, we have a student project coming up and I don't know if he's gonna just drop the class results of this or stick around to help me. I doubt he will be any aid to me now though, and I don't want to help him out anymore unless he proves it to me that he can still help me during lab hours.

I don't like the concept that he is still called an African American since he is also a half white. Didn't the one drop rule came from racist parts of American culture anyway? Whatever. Just like some people say, though, if he was a full black, he would be assasinated by now, despite the fact that there was already an incident where that assasination attempt by two white supremists had accured last week. I dislike John McCain but I liked his speech about serving "his president." A landslide win was just awesome.

I had a biology lab exam yesterday and my lab partner blatantly tried to copy it from me. I quickly covered it with my left side of my body and arm to cover it as best as I can, hoping I didn't make it too obvious. I was a bit furious because I had emailed him the things that might be covered in that exam a few days ago, sacrificing my time to study doing a favor for him because he had asked me to email those. I'm guessing he didn't studied and I'm thinking I could get in trouble if the professor spot us him copying me.

So I've tought about several excuses that I could come up with incase he decides to accuse or blame me about this situation next time we see each other in class. While I was thinking about the excuses, I also remembered that on that same day that morning I let the other guy in my religion class to copy my hometake exam because he was absent before. The only reason I let him copy mine was because he helped me on the other exam. Then I thought my lab partner, although not as a big helper to me in the lab, he did helped me out several times and I feel like an asshole for not letting him copy it from me.

It isn't that simple and here's why I feel kinda guilty now. First, my lab partner was also absent (makes me a hypocrite to some degree for not sharing - although it isn't my obligation to do so) - because his girl was in the emergency room and he had to be absent for a week. She has some genetic disorder that causes problems in her throat that she has to battle for her lifetime. For his excuse, I guess he didn't really had the time to study for the daily quizes on the chapters that we have to go through each class time, and, of course, he missed a 2 day worth of labs, which is a lot because we have to take test over it. Secondly, our Bio Professor gave us a progress report on the same day that we took our Bio exam. He is barely hanging on by passing grade of 0.7% and you can say I was his only hope to cling on.

But she, the Bio Prof., had given us the opportunity to do a health related project which can boost up your grade up to 4 points, which my lab partner decides not to do, which was due - you guessed it - yesterday, and which I came to conclusion that he is somewhat lazy besides the unfortunate circumstaances he has to go through. But the dude in my religion class seemed to be lazy also. This is complicated situation because I don't know things about me that makes people copy me. A Professor in my religion class is nice and kinda old so he doesn't notice when someone tries to cheat because I cheat on that religion class almost daily due to impossible daily quizzes (everyone does that in that class rotfl) but not on taking exams in class.

I'll add that hometake exams is worth 5% of your grade in religious class and other major exams are worth 10%, which I guard the answers like I did with the lab exam yesterday. So my point is..what kind of excuse should I come up with that doesn't make me look like an asshole or hypocrite? I know my lab partner had no right to do what he did today, but I don't want him to think I'm the reason he will be failing because of me either. The withdrawing class is this Friday and I think he might be..I'm not sure. Other excuse I can think of is to pretend nothing ever happened and that my action speaks for itself so that he would not dare to try this again. I would still have not let him copy my lab exam because I didn't wanted to get caught doing so if the same event happened all over again, at the same time I'm semi-worried that he'll not help me during the lab because I want to slack off during the lab (because it's complicated and usually those materials are NOt on the fucking lab exams, as I confirmed it for hours of meaningless studies for yesterday's exam and prior to that exam) and all I want to do is copy others for a free completion lab grades.

I'd appreciate your insight on this.

I haven't played in years but when I did, all I did was dance with other players just goofing around mostly besides leveling up or get the latest dye for my gear. I joined a clan once only because I wanted a cape lol.

I also live in South and i don't know what the dress code is now, but back in highschool during holloween, one of my classmates in English class crossdressed even with blonde wig on but he wasn't called on it while not tucking your shirt in was a school violation. I don't think ppl will stare at you because they are gay, just as same as a gothic girl with long beautiful hair decides to shave it all one day(also happened in highschool lol). Ppl stare because they see something out of ordinary and I guess you can see that as distracting.

I want Obama to win. We don't need 12 years of Bushy, while McBushy is singing to bomb another unsuspected country, continuing the Bushy's legacy of killing innocent civilians. My state is a red state so even if I vote or not doesn't make any difference, however.

That first debate with mccain and obama... mccain didn't even look at obama. How can you not look at someone who is only a couple yards away? It was offending, like mccain was too smug to even look at his opponent.

Yep, that was disrespectful. We'll see more tonight as they jump the last hurdle of the final debate

As for Sarah Palin at the hockey game..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7TgDanmWkg

;

Under Alaska law, it is up to the state's Personnel Board — which is conducting its own investigation into the matter — to decide whether Palin violated state law and, if so, must refer it to the Senate president for disciplinary action. Violations also carry a possible fine of up to $5,000.

I was also wondering to know if this will damage the McBushy campaign's outcome? At this point people probably have made up their mind about whom they will vote for. I don't think it's anything serious that she has to resign from her VP candi. position. As far as what I know about this incident, she helped to fire her brother in law that zapped her 10 year old nephew with a taser. He also beat her sister. I don't know if that's a true story or not but if I were in her position, I'd have made sure that he got fired too, and for protecting public safety as well.

**By no means I want them to take the office because of that since they've been doing nothing but making racist campaign against Obama, which I'm sure most people find it distasteful..hopefully

So what's going to happen to her? What's the usual punishment for this type of violation?

I mean...isn't there any ideas left in hollywood??

it's remakes after remakes..."

I couldn't watch Knight rider and Terminator for more than 2 minutes except Bionic Woman..but that show was canceled as it got boring with low ratings.

It's tonight (reminder). I'm really hoping it would be very entertaining, although I'll probably miss about beginning of first half an hour due to class

Her debate's up in a few days, that should be interesting. Some of the videos on Youtube are hilarious ... like what Mark Wahlberg (spl?) had to say about her, or Lisa Nova's enactment of a Palin McCain phone call.

Lol Have you seen the Tina Fey version of her? She looks exactly like her but hotter

I think now people taker her as a joke and a person with no experience after her interview disaster with Katie Couric. Her 15 mins is up I guess

Yea, I'm also looking forward to watching the VP debate. The presidential debate between Obama and McCain was boring

Good memories. I always ran home from school to tape Robotech. I still listen to Gundam W music.

Toonami is now covered with weird shit like Robot Chicken where clay mutants imitating hump9ing actions

Happy belated birthday, dude! I hope you had some fun

Yo, have fun.

rotfl so random

^ Those characters you mentioned aren't my definition of heroes, but I always thought Goku and Vegeta looked Asian. I can't complain much about Voltron and Robetech's main characters, except Minmei, because their looks are based on white people, as long as actors resemble the characters they play, which white Goku doesn't, adding that those Asian actors playing minor characters also look horrible (really bad casting generally - just like Toby Maguire will be Rick Hunter).

I don't think Goku should be asian anyways, he's not suppose to be like everyone else, he's suppose to be an alien.

Goku is suppose to be a monkey as far as a Chinese folktale goes where DB was based off from. Goku was given a Chinese name, and pulled it off pretty well believing he was an Earthling because he looked like one. Just like Superman who was an alien, was given a Western name and he pulled that all White/American boy image pretty well, too. So I don't see why super/heroes has to be..or most 99% of the time has to be played by a white actor.

EDIT: I just googled. Hikaru Ichijyo is the real name of Rick Hunter..There was a room for Asian to play as a main character but another one slips away. There are variation in Asian looks too so it wouldn't have been too difficult to find someone who resembled him.

Spiderman, Batman, Superman = Will cast All white heroes created in West

Dragonball, Voltron, Robotech = Will cast all white heroes created in East

What's wrong Hollywood? Ran out of ideas? Be creative and make movies like you use to that people actually want to watch. Don't base-reboot-remake-sequel-prequel everything else sheesh.

2nd week for me.

Who needs a door with locks. You could just walk through the wall and take anything you want.

Happy birthday Lady! W00t.

Russian troops have moved deep inside the country in what looks not far short of full-scale invasion, and tens of thousands of civilians are in danger, with many becoming refugees overnight.

Fox News wanted to blame Russia for the aggression but the 12 year old girl who visited her relative in Georgia during her vacation actually corrected him and thanked Russian troops for saving them from bombing which came from Georgian troops.

They made a big deal about scouting David Beckham to the US a few years ago and the only thing I heard about him so far was about his fashion than soccer.

I don't see news like this making a headline though, since the US care so much about integrity of others..cough.

IAAF scrap United States 4x400m relay time for doping

Will Michael Phelps be treated differently if he was Chinese? Yea, they'd probably be demanding for his drug test results, since he is breaking world records all the time, it is kinda suspicious, even though they say he is being tested at each race. How do we know if there's a drug that evade such tests?

-----------------------------------------

I respect your opinion Slippers, pretty interesting and you should be sleeping at 3 am!!

I respect yours too. There was an Indian guy in my class last semester and it was power point project talking about our interests, maximum of 15 mins. He talked about Cricket for 45 mins until he was stopped because others wanted to do their presentation too LOL. And Puerto Rican guy talked about his love for soccer. An American talked about love for her dog..

Speaking of a dog, there's no point of me sleeping. \ Across from my house, there's a dog that barks all day and night. It is so random so I even hear dog's barking when it isn't. I'm really ticked about it. I even sent a complaint letter to him. Sometimes he complies, other time he lets his dog bark for hours. Surprisingly though, since I thought it was only me that bothered, one of other neighbors sent a note to an old lady who lives right next door, also with barking dogs. I was happy to hear that since I'm not the only one who was bothered by it. I'm thinking of calling an animal control. I hate selfish people like that who only regard for themselves. It's a noise pollution. I can't even study or read, and much less sleep comfortably in my room since last December.
