brigdhI'm in this Persian Mythology and Folklore class, and I hate every single person in it. I don't know how these people manage to find the intelligence in their empty little heads to live, much less attend college. This always happens to me when I take classes that can be used as credit toward filling a normally much more demanding requirement; I don't know why I haven't started checking for that beforehand. Or, you know, given up on humanity. Hope really must spring eternal.
But today, they took the cake. Sure, I'm annoyed that none of them will do the readings, ever. I was irritated when the teacher repeated the exact same two-hour lecture twice in one week and none of them paid enough attention to notice. I'm bitter over the fact that I am the apparently the only one in the entire class capable of answering questions, even when it's a question which was in the readings, which the entire last lecture was focused on, and which has been mentioned five times in the last ten minutes, and I have spent the last few weeks in class reading manga and pretending I was somewhere else. I was astonished that these people manage to tie their shoes themselves when they interrupted our guest lecturer to ask, "Are you from England?" Yes, he had an accent. But are you five? Did you really feel the need to go OMG you're not from here haw haw, because I think your parents taught you better than that. Jesus. I was embarrassed for them, because obviously they do not have the capacity to be embarrassed for themselves.
But. There are lines, people. Lines of common logic. And they have crossed them. Today, the teacher asked, "What is the difference between Sunni Islam and Shi'a Islam?"
This is what my classmates answered: "One is right and the other's wrong."
NO. NO. THAT IS NOT CORRECT. SHUT UP, YOU ARE MAKING MY ENTIRE SPECIES LOOK BAD. YOU ARE MAKING ALL OF EXISTENCE LOOK BAD. YOU ARE MAKING GOD REGRET HIS CHOICE TO CREATE LIFE, AND IF THE WORLD ENDS BECAUSE OF YOUR BLACK HOLE-LIKE STUPIDITY, I WILL HAUNT YOUR IDIOT ASS.
