When I was in ninth grade we were all assigned a country to do a
report on in geography class and in those dark days before the
widespread availability of the inter-webs we had to plagiarize from
actual books, like poor people. There were no books in our small town
library on much at all let alone a given countries major exports and
cultural touchstones.. The solution was to get a ride up to the
college library twenty miles away and do some research (copying)
there. My mom was willing to take my friends, Quin, Garret and I and
best of all my girlfriend, up a couple of different times. My mom
would drop us off on campus and we would heard to the library. While
we were supposed to be researching my girl friend liked to find
secluded spots and make out with me. I say she liked to do that
because I am actually uncomfortable with PDA and terrified of
'getting caught' so I was never enjoying it fully. I was always just
looking around, ready to get my lifetime ban from the college
library. We spent all of our time making out and then when we about
to leave we would get some books on our country and copy the pages on
the Xerox and head home to get some work done. My girlfriend was
insatiable though and the whole way home sitting in the back seat she
would be still trying to make out with my mom driving us home. I
would actually be relieved to get her dropped of so I wouldn't have
to be scared of getting kicked out of something or getting caught by
my mom. After my friends and her were dropped off I would head home
and retype the info I copied from the books and fill out a report
outline our teacher had provided. We went a total of three times and
I ended up plagiarizing so well I got an 'A' and a bonus for letting
the teacher keep my report to show other students what a good report
should look like.
