Irrational Irritation or Justified Anger?

As most everyone knows I am enrolled full time in college. This term has been and will continue to be a difficult one. It is the hardest of my core classes. It is taking up a lot of study time, which I have not been so good about setting enough time aside for and lots of homework. Well, one of my classes ended over the weekend while simultaneously another one started. It is Human Anatomy and Physiology. I am rather excited about this one. I took in in high school, so I am familiar with some of it already. Well, for each class, since it is online, we have mandatory class discussions that we have to participate in. I thought a bit on what I wanted to say and how to say it so that maybe I might sound like I know what I am talking about.

This particular post was in response to the professors question, of if we had to lose one of our senses for only a week, which one would we choose and why and how would it affect our everyday life. Easy topic, not a real lot of thought necessary. Well, I thought up what I would be willing to give up for a week and posted it. Rather happy with myself for what I said.

I logged on today, because we have a minimum number of responses that we have to make. I was reading through the other students posts because we have to respond to someone, and I wanted to pick one that I actually wanted to write about. As I was reading through the latest posts, I read one that sounded almost EXACTLY like mine. I thought I was just maybe imagining it, so I opened up my post. This girl took mine and literally sentence for sentence posted it as hers!!!! The only difference is that she took out about 40 words, which was 2 sentences, and posted it as hers! ALL of MY ideas that I came up with, right there under her name... I don't mind helping people out or even helping to give ideas... but come on... using my response as her own??? What is up with that!?

Maybe I am just exhausted from an unusually long work weekend, I on't know... but I am really irritated, almost borderline angry that she used my post as her own! UGH! What is with people that they can't think up just a few simple sentences of their own?
