Yeah, I agree with you on the cheating thing. I think there are cases when not cheating is stupid. Like, if you don't take the opportunity you're only making life harder for yourself.
Not that I didn't take the 'noble' road many times in the past only to later facedesk about it.
In the end your head is not a trashbin.

So you think I'm stupid, then? :(
I guess I was just stubborn, because I had already studied for this one, so I didn't cheat on principle.

Well, both of us, anybody.. *waves hand* You know.
Of course if I already studied, like you did, I would do the test based on my own brein. Sometimes I'd peek and check if I did it correctly, other times I didn't bother.

Aww don't feel bad about not cheating, that's twisted :) I don't cheat either. I mean, I did at grammar school, mostly at maths and physics cos I couldn't memorize some of the stuff to save my life, but I have never cheated at uni. I think I would feel like the biggest idiot if someone found out, I'd much rather get a bad mark for not having revised properly than cheat. I don't know, it's like I study these schools for myself and they're not compulsory anymore so the marks and grades have a slightly different meaning to me now and I'm a bit more serious about it (which doesn't make me any better student though, I'm terribly irresponsible about my studies, procrastinating and skipping classes and not turning in essays and then getting all stressed out when it's too late; but I'm working on that). Besides, we usually have to read crazy amounts of materials and books and whatnot for each exam, so I don't even think it would be possible to write something down on little papers and stuff like that. And you know, we lawyers have to stick to ( ... )

It sucks when you study hard for an exam and then half of the other students just copy like mad...they make me want to kick them in the shins!

Aww, I love it when it's warm enough to just sprawl in the park! Right now here the weather is crazy: this morning was all sunny and now it's raining, blah
