grr

I am getting SO ANNOYED with this new person in my lab (new graduate student). Like, she has no sense at all what is ethical in regards to someone’s intellectual thoughts or like, thinking for yourself. Examples!!

- she came to me before a class where we were going to discuss some papers and asked me what I wrote as my questions/points. When we were in class, SHE SAID ONE OF THE THINGS I TOLD HER TO THE PROFESSOR.

- today, in class, our professor asked a question and nobody was answering and I whispered an answer under my breath (which ended up being wrong) and she immediately shouted it as an answer.

She also constantly asks me what I think/what I write/etc. for any assignments we both have. So I feel like there’s actually more plagiarism going on than I even know about. Ethan says I should just start feeding her wrong information but I don’t know if I can be that mean, lol.

  2. holagordita said: do it, just telling her to stop won’t make her stop. teach her a lesson about theft!
