It's not all that uncommon for people who are new to metaphysical practices and spiritualities to get a little disconnected from reality. It can seem glamorous and exciting, compared to daily life, and some people let themselves get caught up in the fantasy.
Most people outgrow it eventually. As people have said, you can try waiting it out, if you're not into having conflict over it. But this may be a process of years - your patience may wear out long before then.
You don't have to tell her she's full of s**t. You can politely and gently tell her, again, that she has misunderstood the whole Mayan calendar thing. You may have to explain to her the concept of UPG - unsubstantiated personal gnosis - and that while you can't say she's right or wrong, you're not obligated to take her UPG as fact or reality, either. It's HER vision. You weren't there to experience it, you can't share it, and you can't verify it. Thus you don't have to accept it.
UPG isn't bad or wrong. But it is exactly what it says - personal. She is being unreasonable if she can't understand that.
You can also point out to her, without being rude, that premonitions, visions, and other forms of precognition are often misinterpreted by those who experience them; they may become clearer or placed in greater context as time progresses. It's the possible future, not the definite future. Many of these through recorded history are so vague as to be able to have multiple interpretations, or simply failed to manifest.

Being so new to the craft, your friend may have accidentally mixed up something she read, heard, or saw into her vision-i know I have to be careful every time i look into the future to keep everything else running through my head from invading and clouding my vision-or distorting and mutilating it altogether.
Any sort of farsight is a tricky thing-If you know enough about the technique yourself, or know someone who knows about it, you could try helping your friend to focus her vision, and see more clearly-assuming that's the angle you both want to take with the craft.
Also keep in mind that your friend may well have successfully looked into the future, but if this is the case, remember these points: The future is always in motion, and so any number of things can happen; also, visions are very much like dreams-they can leave a lot to be interpreted. If you both think it's really the future, try looking for the symbolism in what your friend saw.
The final point I'd like to make is that neither of you should dwell on one vision, especially if neither of you have ever practiced farsight before. As before, the future is always in motion, and I've found that the best way to change the future is to focus on the here and now-constantly trying to counter a possible event is often the way to make it happen.
