Wes’s Life

Today, a friend of mine thought it humor­ous to tell me that we had a test in a class that I had to miss as a result of going to pick up my car from my friend’s deal­er­ship. I was pretty sure there was no test, yet there was still a doubt because today was the orig­i­nal day for the test. I pre­cisely remem­ber the pro­fes­sor chang­ing the date and writ­ing it up.

After class was over, my friend sent me a mes­sage telling me it was just a joke. I gave him a small bit of advice: to never do that again.

No one enjoys being lied to. Major­ity of the time, jokes are fine and dandy, but when you joke about some­thing that could affect all the work you have put in for a semes­ter, it’s com­pletely dif­fer­ent. In addi­tion, my friend knows how I feel about my aca­d­e­mics; so it felt doubly insult­ing.
