Have you ever felt... unworthy?
Untrusted?
Betrayed?
That is how I felt today when I recieved the third notice of plagerism act due on my part on an essay I wrote.
THIRD ACT... yes. I'll tell you, journal, later.

I was gathering my binder, notebook, the occasional jacket I didnt bring to class, and a elementary fruit roll up when I overhood from a classmate, who I have known from a long time from synogauge, recite a title off an essay that sounded vaugly familar. It.. was mine. How could SOMEONE else have my essay? That I spent 6 hours writing on a monday night, work my butt off, thought it was my best work, and then get a 66% on? I asked how he got the copy, and he said "Its too check for the honor concioul. It has forms of plagerism."
Plagerism. I had gotten an offence earlier this year for using wikipedia for a Huckleberry Finn paper, (which was droppped since it was not true.) The second time was three months ago to March 1st... I remember clearly. I cheated. Let's not go into that, please? I had enough of the half a dozen people telling officials I WAS cheating I decided to actually DO it....
This "Billy Budd" paper's thesis was about the symbols Billy invokes to lead to the conclusion of Captain Vere's decision. After getting my paper back at around... nine a.m today, seeing the grade and weird pink highlights at parts, I soon learned the "highlights" were for PLAGERISM the teacher had looked up and found resourced that resembled the topic and idea vaugly. "Lamb of G-d" MY IDEA! "INNOCENCE and GOOD" my IDEA!
I think it is because the teacher thinks I cant come up with a decent thought by myself, Id resort to others. She thought I could at least CITE the ideas. But that would be Unconstitutional... since I thought those up. If those authors of the would use the same ideas I DID, then it must mean I used an idea that is controversal AND popular!
The first offence was a mistake on the schools part. The second was a mistake on mine... (damn conscience)... the third. LEADS TO SUEING!
I will sue that damn private school which my parents are forced to pay 15grand a year for a shitty education so THEY will know pay for my cat's cat food for his entire lifetime, college tuition, world hunger charties, six generations worth of retirement funds, AND of course, a trampoline.
If I write something like this IN A PERSONAL journal, then it HAS to be true, otherwise I would be confessing...
Think About That
