I have no sympathy for someone who cheats, especially in the manner described. If you were my classmate and I knew that you were "outsourcing" papers, I would turn you in myself with absolutely no qualms. It doesn't matter the professor is grading on a curve or not - you're cheating, and that should not be tolerated ever. There is no excuse.
As for your sob story about 40 hours of work, I ran track and cross country competively in college and averaged between 80 and 100 miles a week at some points in my training cycle. That's about 13-16 hours a week just out on the road running without the 5 hours a week in the weight room, 10-15 hours a week in the training room rehabbing my ankle, another 5 hours stretching and doing mobility stuff and 10 hours of speed work. That's 45 hours a week plus the fact that my body was constantly stressed. I graduated with a 3.2 in a reading-intensive major with at least 200 pages of reading and another 15 of writing due every week.
Do your own work or take the incomplete. If you cheat, I hope you don't tell anyone.
