Some notes about this quote of the month:
-If the path was straight, where would the fun be?
-I may need to learn from #3. I tend to be so focused on making it through the next major project/ step/ whatever, that it sometimes alienates me from people. Of course, other things also factor into that, not just the achievements.
-I totally agree about #6. I caught my first plagiarized paper when I was a TA because throughout the entire paper, the student couldn't use a comma correctly. Then, magically, the student used a semicolon correctly. I typed that sentence into google and voila, an Amazon book review came up. And then the rest of the paper fell apart as I found other plagiarized portions.
-I can't wait to share April's with you- my birth month got the best quote ever!
