Erin and I slept in. That was the first thing. The second thing was that we got up, prepared for the rest of our day, and then went to the dreaded science class. Woo-hoo.

The second half of that class had us back in our groups. I am stuck with a girl who, by all reason, should have a better sense of what kind of a guy a person is, one of the professors nieces, and the kid we have termed booger boy. Yes, booger boy.

It never fails, this kid will pick, eat, hack, spit, and do all sorts of phlegmy things with mucus coming out of his body. The problem is so severe that Erin actually cannot look forward in the class because he is hacking and spitting into something and then folding it up, carefully, and dumping it into his pocket or backpack. The sad things are:

1. He sits alone because he doesn’t know how to relate to people.
2. He does awkward things and dresses oddly, which only causes him to stand out in the wrong ways even more.
3. He makes uneducated answers to simple questions and over-analyzes those same simple answers and looks for complicated ways to present his solution.
4. He says things that only make him look as though he has never actually been around a live human girl or woman before

One example of this class, for me, is that we were talking about the metastisization of cancer cells and their spreading through the body and causing cancer in other parts of the body. This was specific to breast cancer and the trend some women have of having a full mastectomy to avoid or take care of the cancer problem. What booger boy did was to state, “Isn’t that what silicone is for?”

I turned and looked at him and said, “You are an ass.”

He and the two girls in the group turned to me and asked, “What?”

I said, “You heard me. You are an ass.”

This, of course, caused a rift to take place. I am opinionated, but for someone to be that idiotic to suggest something like that and then to act as though they don’t know what they said that might’ve caused that reaction… yeah: ASS.

I find the class to be frustrating enough, to me, to have an incident like this change a perfectly good day into one where I want to throttle someone because they are so stupid, and yet not stupid, that they cannot fathom that someone might know as much or more than them about something and that an opinion, regardless of naivety in that area, is not necessarily appropriate and will not be put up with.
