Graduation night

The final final exam was today.  Interestingly, one student, who will get the dubious honor of being Fred 13, cheated on her final exam.  She would never have gotten caught if it weren't for the fact that by the time I handed out 8 exams, she was finished answering 30 chemistry problems. I told her that she would have to take another exam or get a zero since she didn't have time to answer 30 problems in less than five minutes.  She assured me that she just guessed at them all.  She's never without a lie on her tongue.  I caught her with her cell phone during a test earlier in the year and she lied to the principal about it and got off the hook.  She again ran to the principal.  I refused to budge on this.  Principal told her to just take it again.  I mixed the questions up and handed it to her.  She refused to do it.  Then she started whining about how she didn't feel she should have to do this and she didn't know why I was making her do this.  I told her that I believed her to be a cheater and I knew she was a liar and she had to prove me wrong.  She got mad and said she was going to tell her mother what I said about her.  She left and I gave her a zero.  On a high note, graduation went very smoothly and only lasted 40 minutes!  Now, I'm looking forward to a relaxing three day weekend so I can job hunt! :-)
