I can't stand people who cry excessively in public.

This feeling was brought up when we received our Calculus midterms and the curve was announced. Stupid questions girl got hers, and by the time I was back from picking up mine, she was in tears saying something along the lines of, "Why do I even try?" Alongside her was her good friend Stupid Questions Boy, who despite having a girlfriend of his own, still wants her badly. This stirred up the slow back rub/pat along with words of encouragement.

Now, when I see people crying, I automatically turn my head away. But why is this? Crying is a personal event that really shouldn't be done publicly. However, in times of deepest sorrow, it's acceptable to shed tears in the presence of others.

Math midterms are not times of deepest sorrow.

Honestly. Life goes on. Why bother crying over a grade? The only thing you'll get from me is a slap in the face. Wake up, little girl. Calculus may be important, but your grade is not. Get a life.

How true those words are. If such a person is that emotional towards a test, chances are he/she really doesn't have a life. Hence, getting one would be in order.

Alas, after class today, she was angry that she missed the professor because she wanted to talk to him about an error he made in the grading of her test. On one page, she clearly received 5 points, but at the bottom, the total was 4. Out of 100 points, it's not worth the trouble. But no, she went to his office hours to sort this thing out.

Clearly, this is the same girl that wept tears upon her exam.
