Each year the Macy's Thanksgiving parade starts at 9am and ends at 12pm.

During Thanksgiving....

On Thursday woke up before 9am to watch the Macy's thanksgiving parade, while at the same time made mash potatoes with my brother. By around 12 relatives had started coming over. then later around 1pm went to pick up some cousins and grandparents to take over my house. the rest of the day played around with cousins, eat, made a short up a short video, and it about ended at 2am. overall it wasn't like a thanksgiving dinner, but a party since we already started eating in early afternoon.

Under what circumstances do I think most students might be inclined to cheat:
-When it's unlikely that they would be caught
-When they feel desperate to get a better grade
-When a lot is riding on the particular grade

If some one is caught cheating, the consequence i think is most suitable:
-Failure on the assignment that the cheating occurred
-Repeating the assignment while being watched carefully
-Depends on the cheater's profile

Things that discourages me from cheating:
-Scared of getting caught
-Test the result of my studying or not

Today we went to the Conversation with University Leadership from about 12:00pm to 1:00pm. Important people such as the Dean and the provost of the college were there to talk about what they do everyday in their position. Also, they answer some questions written by other students, like remediation, budget cuts, etc. The only one that interest me was when they talked about remediation because I'm in Academic English class and I need to know the outcome of it, since I'm worried if I may not pass my finals for the class and would have to go to community college to make up the class for next semester.
