cheat sheets

a minor confession: i've cheated before. not in a relationship but in an exam. finals to be exact. its something i can't say i am not proud of because sometimes drastic times, needs drastic measures. especially when it comes to having a lecturer who has no clue as to what he's teaching. for example he has to constantly refer to notes when writing on the wall. i mean hey, we all do that but when you are refering to HISTORY notes just to refer to the grammar then thats just a bit much. so far in my entire life learning i have only met a handful of lecturers who can properly speak and write in the English language. despite having more than 30 lecturers in 4 years in college. its sad really. so anyway about cheating...

well i cheat not because i don't study. i do. and i try my best in understanding what's being taught even if they are by useless teachers. but i cheat because i have this really bad memory of memorizing things for the sake of passing an exam. which is why i don't really have notes when i study. i read the text and basically formulate it in my head to understand them. text reading is of course supported by the guidance of the lecturer. so if he's useless, i am practically impaired during the exams. the same goes for presentations. i hate writing in cue cards as i'm more of a spontaneous speaker. i believe that by writing down the words, i'll be restricting myself and when i screw up i'll literally SCREW UP. back on track here, so we're given the exact questions of the paper we'll be sitting. and by right everyone should ace this. so is it wrong of me to make cheat sheets so i wouldn't have to memorize the 20 page notes? i mean he basically gave us the answers... why not cheat-sheet it?
