An extremely awkward situation

I was taking an exam and this girl was being obnoxious, leaving the room, making noise with a newspaper. Then I look over and she's cheating! We are allowed (unbelievably) to have a note card for our exams. She had a piece of paper three note cards long all folded into one.
The part that makes it even more awkward, it that the professor is one that I work with and have a very close relationship with. First name basis etc. I feel more like her colleague than her student. I was so floored, I really didn't know what to do. Beyond this, the class is really hard, so I was kinda pissed. I partied all weekend at a festival and had to study so much for that exam!
What would you do?

if she was cheating she is only cheating herself because she obviously did not put the work needed into the class and probably failed to learn anything from it. Your most likely just better off ignoring the whole situation.

Yeah...I was with you up until you mentioned going to a festival and partying. Sounds like you're annoyed she might do better than you because YOU didn't study. Well...that's your fault.

All I am saying is it was a long weekend, I'm sure every student in the class had a busy weekend. I would have loved to fill up three pages of notes to have on the exam, especially since the material was hard for me to comprehend.
Yes. I will be pissed is she gets a better grade.
She is cheating more than herself. Academic integrity is a huge thing. Aside from that, you can get kicked out of school for that. I can't imagine risking my education for one exam grade.

I don't think I could say anything to the prof, but I was so pissed off.

You sound way too concerned with what she's doing...sounds to me like you're projecting the fact that you weren't prepared for the test on to her and blaming her for something when really if you do badly it had nothing to do with her. That's just me stretching and assuming, not trying to be a dick.

If the grade is not on a curve, then there is no problem at all. It sucks that you had to study and she didn't, but I guarentee there was far more people bending the rules in that class other than the girl you spotted anyway.
Just pat yourself on the back for doing the right thing and actually taking something away from your expensive college education.

Thanks. I think that helped a lot.
Elaboration - I just want to get this discussion out so its not on my mind when I'm in this class.

How in hell is this "extremely awkward"? You saw someone cheating, big deal. I would worry more about my grades then others, but whatever.

Thanks, I fucking love you guys.
*Its a big deal because the prof and I are very close. I do research with her and am designing labs that future students will do. It just made me think about what happens when I'm teaching and I see that. I guess it also never crossed my mind any one would cheat on that level, I was really tweaked for a second, then I was tweaked about feeling tweaked initially. Also this is a huge class that grad schools and med schools really want to see a good grade in. But its karma, she might get into a good school, but it will be obvious to everyone there she got nothing from her education. Every one makes their own bed.
