Ok....... 2 weeks ago during my AP Class muscles pratical, a girl in my class asked me for an answer on the written portion of the pratical and I gave her the answer. Whatever.... maybe I shouldn't have done.... hindsight is 20/20 but I did. OK.....Aside from that some other people in the class shared some answers also...... A woman in our class (the A+ Student) who is now my ex study partner took it upon herself to mention something to the professor about the class cheating and made some derrogatory comments about me to someone else in the class "I can't believe so and so would actually help someone cheat" OK.. I am not denying that I did..... because I did give this other student an answer.... and the fact the others in the class were sharing answers does not excuse it!

BUT for her to mention something to the professor, I felt was out of line....... she needs to mind her business...

Tonight during our break from lecture.... everyone is commenting on how the professor seems to be very dry with us, he is usally a cut up..... and one of the young ladies said she called him during the thanksgiving break to inquire about the pratical, if she had passed or failed... and he mentioned to her, that her name had come up with regards to dishonesty! So me and my BIG MOUTH... said I know where that came from..... SO & SO said something to the professor!

Well I just opened a can of worms because now... everybody is giving the my ex study partner....... dirty looks.......

So now it's the end of the class.. I am putting my coat on and she confronts me and starts shouting.. and i know the professor can hear her... that next time I decide to say something about her i should say it to her face, and that she only told the professor that some people were being dishonest, and that maybe if I hadn't help other student.... I wouldn't be so upset...... So I told her 1st of all it's your word against mine.......... 2nd..... I know you said something with regards to me b/c another student told me and I confronted the other student. and she agreed! and 3rd who are you to play class police and go back to the professor with anything......

I Dismissed her and walked away.......

NOW....... we are all walking down the hall and she comments to the other mob of students.... one in particular who she mentioned by name to the professor..... (MIND YOU the professor just told some of the students individually that he was disappointed that some people were dishonest)

She said to them don't say anything I am right here... WEll here we go..... it' all blows up.... yelling... the students who were not mentioned and the ones that were.... are all upset at her... they say how dare she bring it up at all.... she deny's it..... than she said she only said some people were dishonest..... the mob continues to get unruly and name calling starts.....

She won't get in the elevator with us....she stays behind..... in the parking lot the one of the students who was mentioned by name said she is going to say something to the professor.....

UGHHHHHHHHHHHH and I 'm sure my ex study partner probably went to the professor and told him about the mob scene and that I started it......

GEEZ........ I know I probably should not have said anything..... but I did.

MY question is #1 do I personally address it with the professor who is a sweet heart and has been really nice and supportive to me....... and helped tremendously.....and he never mentioned anything to me about this whole thing at all tonight

Just forget it and not even acknowledge the incident

Of if he asks me about it.... just remain clueless

Or should I call my ex study partner and try to clear the air.....(her and I might be in the same nursing class in the fall

Of course I will not get any sleep tonight or for the rest of the week..... because of the S%it!......

Please guys.... don't crucify me..... just constructive critisism or some advice....

Wow, so many responses!

My advice amongst this plethora of advice?

Follow your conscience! If you can't sleep,eat, or hang out with the family without beign totally stressed out and worried about the situation, then do what will clear your conscience!

Sure, the cheating was wrong; sure, the ex- study partner sounds like a twit (who is probably jealous of you in some way or another); but when it all comes down, you have to live with YOU!!!

You can listen to all the advice given here, and all the opinions thrown in-- which are all good-- but take some time to listen to what your gut is telling you is the right thing to do!!!

If you get quiet for a while and just listen, the answer that brings peace will come, regardless of the consequenses you will or won't face!

Good luck! And I'll be praying for you!
