"outsourcing a paper"?
1. getting extensions is fairly easy. all it requires is that you take time out from your busy busy schedule to talk to the professor. getting an extension is not an index of anything, really--it is not some Victory over the Man--they are not a big deal in principle (though obviously whether you will get one is a function of the ground rules for the course, for example)
in the end all they do is knock the work you have to do out of the schedule and ultimately it is on you to finish it.
2. "outsourced" papers are pretty easy to catch.
for example, if you have turned in ANY writing in the context of this class, i really would not even consider buying a paper.
because if you are caught, you are wholly fucked.
and lots of academics take catching folk like you as a kind of petty mission.
the way in which you are fucked varies with the honor code at the school you attend--but generally speaking, if you are caught, you face expulsion.
i have caught a few students doing this kind of thing.
for some reason, i had no pity for them.
but i am not particularly obsessed with the matter--i figure that if you dont want to learn, and do not want to do the work, you probably shouldnt be where you are anyway.
but i know many other academics who are REALLY fixated on this,
problem for you is that you cannot tell who is and is not fixated in this way.
anyway, if you are caught, you are well and truly fucked
3. if you are really willing to consider buying a paper from a papermill, the problem may not in fact be poor scheduling or a lack of time on your part--it could well be that you really do not know why you are in university and because you are not there for any particular reason of your own, you still view university like a child views authority.
