When I wake up

One of the first things I do is check my phone. I'm sure most of you do this too. I make sure that if I have missed any calls or texts, they can reply to in a timely manner. I do not receive these calls or texts during the night because I do not want to be disturbed. There's nothing worse than being woken up by a text or call saying "sup." That could have waited but people are like doctors who have lost their licenses, they have no patience. Read that again carefully. Clever right? Anyway, I saw that I had 5 missed calls. I was shocked and mentally woke up earlier than I had planned. When I returned the call the voice on the other line seemed stressed. When I asked what was the matter, I was told that this person had gotten a not so good grade on his exam. Really? Is that what the fuss was about? My immediate thought was to tell this guy he was an idiot and to give up on life. Then I thought I should laugh at him. Laughing at others failures makes me happy, but don't follow my steps. That's a mean quality I keep to bring down my amiability, that sort of means "niceness", to a reasonable level. If I were nice all the time, many people wouldn't like me and I would be annoyed with myself. I digress. What I did tell him was that if you don't provide the right answers, they're wrong. Yup. That's right ladies and gentleman. I broke it down the easiest way I could have. He replied with "But I did give the right answers." Really? I don't think so. Because if you did you wouldn't have fucked up and you damn sure wouldn't be on the phone right know sharing your distress concerning your personal lack of intelligence. I didn't make up an excuse and get off the phone. Well not right away at least. I told him calmly to set up a meeting with a professor. I knew this wouldn't do much, but it would ease his mind over the weekend. I then informed him that you are directly responsible for your own actions. I then told him that his level of anger was childish. Taking things in stride is the only way you can live life. That applies to actions and reactions. Don't believe me? Do the opposite and you'll have a heart attack by 35. I hope he does better next time. Or if he doesn't, I at least hope he calms his nerves. I am Baliwala. I checked my test score for the same exact class and I got an A. That is all.
