A " biology" 's night out

Today, I, a fourteen year old teenage girl who was used to seeing people cheating and copying files off line, just understood why the teachers were so strict about plagiarism. I never used to understand any of this concept. Why do we have to add footnotes? Or bibliographies? Why can't we just copy off other people's work? Today, I had a serious brainstorm that nearly wrecked my head in search of a science topic. After that, I had to spend two~ three hours to make a lame little video that I was not happy about. Now it is 2:12 am, and I am very confused of the date between today and " tomorrow". Technically, " today" to me is " tomorrow" when I am actually in " tomorrow" and " tomorrow" is today. If you, Mr. Dahl, has ever stayed up late at night, which I am sure you had, you would understand my feeling at this moment. Good news, I finished my assignment. Wooh! Now I finally learned to respect other people's ideas and creations because they are precious. Sometimes even more precious than an actual physical item you can hold in your hands. An idea is not palpable, which is what made it valuable. It is irreplaceable, once you have it, it's yours forever to keep. It would be so certainly unfair if someone came up to me and stole my experiment( I'm sure no one would want to though). It's as if they stole my idea without having to contribute ate all.
