So right now I'm in the Widener library for the 30 minutes I have between my Sales and my Professional Responsibility classes. A girl from my Sales class just walked up to me and asked me if I'm in Friedman's Sales class, I say I am, and she politely asks if she can "borrow my notes." Since we're graded on the curve I don't like the giving away my notes, but I saw her in class today and figure maybe she accidentally deleted her notes or something, so I say sure and give her a piece of paper to write her down her e-mail address. She does so, but also writes
"Assignment 8 - today."
Uh... what?! Assignment 8 was over two months ago! I thought she just meant today's notes! She's basically asking for all the work I've ever done in that class. Couldn't she ask one of her exchange student buddies (I think they're from China)?
What do I do?
a) don't send the notes and pretend that she never talked to me
b) send her all my notes, but make "Free Tibet!" the subject.
c) send her an "abridged" version of my notes.
I'm leaning towards (c), but that's going to take time to randomly delete portions of what I took down, but not too much to be noticeable.
Any ideas?

Ooo, that's a tough one. I think (c) sounds okay: a summary might be better. Plus there's the potential date factor...
I propose option D):
Tell her that you don't think you can give her all those notes, but you'll give her a class or two worth.
It's totally unreasonable to ask for that volume of notes from someone unless you're good friends or study buddies. I assume for the moment that you're neither.
You assume correct. I've never talked to her before in my life. I still can't believe this happened. Dammit.
so... what did you do? And did the wrath of the Red Army descend upon you?
i sent her an extremely redacted version of my notes, which made me feel guilty, which is why i hated that she asked me in the first place.
