My first semester at AUI, S started with a
quite interesting orientation event. We
all met in a small lecture room and a big guy with a more CIA-like face came
forward to welcome us. That big guy was James Harriagan. He forgot to welcome
us, because he interested more in insulting us- still many follow his footmark.
He started by complaining about
plagiarism. Harrigan argued that
plagiarism was and is “part of” the region’s “culture”. For him, plagiarism was “another frontier”
which needed “direct U.S. involvement”. Unlucky Harrigan failed to fight back
and teach “Iraqi future leaders” not to plagiarize. Despite what he did, plagiarism
continued to PROSPER.
His successors came up with more tech-based
fantasy solutions, yet they failed to uproot plagiarism in the mind of “multi-Iraq
future spearheads”. Plagiarism remained to be discussed. But “it appears” that
this semester is the “anti- plagiarism campaigns” are stopped. None of my
“professors” has mentioned plagiarism
(PROBABLY THE CULTURE IS DEAD OR OUT
OF CONTROL).
THEY SHOULD NOT GET TIRED SO SOON.
NOW to the fun part!
AUI, S failed to “combat” plagiarism. Ironically, WE HAVE TAUGHT AUI,S
to plagiarize. Copying others works without permission of the author is the
most admired definition of plagiarism at AUI, S. Based on this definition, AUI,
S, from top to bottom, is “guilty of committing plagiarism”. For Harrigan,
there was eleven commandments instead of ten, and the eleventh one was, “THEE
SHALL NOT PLAIGRIZE”.
Now, AUI, S is not only losing plagiarism
frontier, yet people of the PRESIDENCY are plagiarizing- “lossers” as my professor
usually call us. If you pay a visit to the book store, you can get copies of
any book you want- isn’t that plagiarism? Recently AUI, S due to unclear
reasons, has started copying copyrighted books. If you pay a visit to the BOOK
STORE (THIS SHOULD BE CALLED ILLIGAL COPYING STORE) you will see piles of books
have been copied by the university staff. This comes as an effort to cover the
delay of receiving the original books.
After
four weeks the “books are not all in” (meaning in the book store not somewhere
else). According to the JOCKS we have heard, the books are on vacation. Last
week, AUI, S books were in Iran for a short while (May be Romney has sent them
there to salute Khamnai). Then they disappeared. Ironically, they again showed
up in Arbil, but they didn’t stay there too long. PAUSE,
YOU
MAY LAUGH OR CURSE IF YOU WANT TO. YOU HAVE THE STAGE FOR A WHILE.
Oh boy,
NOW, Far From Plagiarism. I used to know a
GIRL, but recently I found OUT she is “Having AN (PLURAL) affair with an instructor”-
Mr. Gresk may see this as libel, BUT sorry EVEN YOU ARE TRYING TO PROVE THIS.
GOOD LUCK….
