So, it's been a while, I've been really busy, but here's the latest integrity run-in.
At my school since it's so small we have to do a lot of online classes, which means that for anyone who does online byu independent study classes - like myself - all exams are ordered and mailed in so despite being out of school for two weeks, I'm taking two finals this week. I had to go in whenever my teacher was available since it's not fair to her to make her work around me and we already discussed that that wouldn't work so if I did that she would be upset and it would risk my grades. I don't have a problem with that, it's not fair for me to expect her to work around my schedule when they're my classes to take care of. Anyway, I had to take my Spanish final yesterday, but I was also working so I knew that I had to go fast-ish if I wanted to finish but I didn't anticipate how long the test was. Because of that, I knew I had to go to work at 10 and I hadn't finished the test yet so I had to make an important decision. I talked to my teacher and she said even though it was breaking the rules, I had to go to work because without me opening, the store wouldn't be open in time (and my boss happened to be sitting there talking to my teacher with her daughter so I knew I had her on my side for leaving, but that's beside the point). However, byu does have a rule that you cannot leave in the middle of finals because of course, that brings an opportunity to cheat. I know the questions, I know where to find the class, it would not be hard to look up answers. HOWEVER, I'm not going to do that. First of all, I would not be passing my own class, and then what's the point. (As a side thought, I won't remember the questions anyway, so I couldn't really be that specific anyway haha.) But she told me that she would let me do that if I promised not to look up any answers or work on any spanish between yesterday and tomorrow - which is the next opportunity I have to go finish. The downside is now I can't check/change any of my answers because she won't know that I didn't cheat, but I'll know it, and that's good at least. So, be trustworthy, and you'll get to leave your finals and keep a good job =D Also just be trustworthy because it's better. Even if no one but me and God knows that I didn't cheat, I'll feel 10000x's better than had I looked up even just one little thing. 'Aight, I'm out, maybe I'll write sooner so there's less of a gap than last time. =P
