This is a question Cheating cheaty cheats

I'm rubbish at cheating. I was asked to help run a stall at a local fair. We sold squares on a treasure map for 10p a go, with the one closest to the "hidden treasure" winning stuff.

I told my sister where it was. I'd not really thought through how obvious this would be. I've kind of avoided cheating since, what have you cheated at? Confess all, it'll make you feel better.

not even cheating...
First year at uni they changed the time for an exam. They changed it to an earlier(!) time. Now this was before e-mail, and they only put up a notice on a noticeboard next to the administrations office. People used to check these noticeboards to find out their grades after the exams. This was before and most peole were at home/library studying.
(beware of the leopard, all that)

So when i and most other students missed the exam, i went to the councilor person (not sure how this translates - studieadviseur in dutch). He proposed we do something about this, ie list everyone who didnt do the exam and demand that there be another opportunity.

To do this he lend me his office while he was out to lunch, i think i was to compile al list of all the people that were supposed to do the exam but didnt show. Anyway he was gone, i was behind the computer. And i wondered if there was something i could do about my grades and if he was worriyng if i would try do change my grades...
Meanwhile i tried to open/edit the list of students.

However everything was based on WP back then. And before long i had changed things, i had no idea how or to what file or if the changes were now saved.
I tried to fix it - it got worse. I was afraid it would look like i had tried to break into the computer. So now i panicked.

I think i tried to find the councelor person later that afternoon to tell him what happend. He was not in and i lost all my courage and just avioded the rest of my time at uni....
