How can I calm down in this situation?

Basically what happened is that I was called in today by my professor. The professor told me the meeting was about a academic misconduct that had happened. A friend had copied my assignment work and handed it in as her own. What had happened was that I had trouble printing my assignment and my friend had offered to print it for me. I agreed and sent her my project. She instead apparent changed my name to her name on the assignment and handed it in as her own. I had told the professor what had happened and even if I wasn't the one doing the copying, I could still face multiple penalties such as docking 5-10% off my final grade, taking a plagiarism class, suspension from my program, and possible suspension from the school itself. Now I'm panicking and I don't know what to do to calm myself down!

    First off I am sorry you learned a lesson in friendship that truely sucks. No matter what happens you can appeal their decisons. If possible try to see if after their decison to see about extra credit to off the 5-10% of the grade. Take the plagiarism claass with an open mind, you might learn something you can use down the road, like how to prevent others from copying off of you. Good luck.
