Stupidity reigns supreme?

Humanity amazes me off sometimes. At times, there are acts that are just so good and giving or just sweet that I’m brought to tears. People giving up their lives to save others, or a family fulfilling their sons dream, even when he isn’t there to see it. Communities pulling together to take care of a member who faces tragedy, or the work churches and schools do. But for every white there is a black.

The past few days I’ve seen one of my favorite phrases (Boredom reigns supreme) changed. Stupidity reigns supreme is the theme for this week. And a true week even, because it started on Sunday! Sunday night, I received text messages from a girl I have multiple classes with. The next morning we had a test that we’d known about for months. Throughout the semester, we read articles that we either online, or available to purchase. Either way, they were easily accessible. The text messages, which I got at 8:30 at night, were saying how she couldn’t get them online because our professor had taken them off the website Blackboard (I went and checked. The teacher had not done this) and she needed to study. When told her I was sorry for her predicament, she asked what I was doing. When I told her I was studying she asked to join. Last time I tried to study with her, she didn’t shut up and it took way to long and I did badly on the assignment. So I politely declined and said I’d study better alone. She then demands that I have to bring my stuff down to her when I’m done so she could study for our test. Long story short, I did not give her my study stuff, because I was *gasp shock and amazement* using them until very late and was way too tired to take them to her than wait to get them back so I could study again when I got up early in the morning (which I didn’t get up super early, but still earlier). The next morning I go in and take my test, and I think I did very well. We ended at the same time and as we’re walking out, I say hi. Not out of pure desire to say hi, just to recognize and to keep things pleasant between us (I have 3 classes with her, I’d rather not have an enemy if I can reasonably avoid it. But I don’t want to be best buddies either). She glares at me, asks me what I want in a very harsh tone, shoves her music in her ears and stomps (literally stomps) away.

So my reaction is to laugh. Because honestly? She’s mad at me because I didn’t bring her my stuff and enable her laziness. I never agreed to take her my stuff. I said if I remembered, was awake, and wasn’t using them the next morning I might. So she was mad at me for not being responsible for her getting a good grade. And she’s glared at me ever since.

I’ve had other interactions with people to encourage this stupidity claims, but I must cease for the moment. Maybe more later.
