Today, I found out that my writing teacher entered in one of my paper grades wrong. After many emails, she said she can't change my grade unless I fax her the original. I need that grade fixed so I can keep my scholarship. I can’t find the paper anywhere. That one paper could cost me $30,000. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found out that I chose a wrong class and my 30-page paper worth 10 credit points that I wrote for that class is basically worthless now, and my graduation might be postponed another semester just because of that. FML
Today, I found out that my ten-page paper, which has taken me two months to construct perfectly and is worth 30% of my grade, was on the wrong book. It’s due tomorrow. FML
Today, I found out that I owe my college a little over $10,000. Why? Because, due to a slight misspelling of my name, the scholarship that I have been going insane trying to meet the requirements for is not actually giving me any funding. FML
Today, I was put on academic suspension only to find out my professor entered my grade wrong. I lost my financial aid and have to explain to my parents why I’m not in college anymore. FML
Today, I got back the essay I wrote about how my country's education system is fucked. At one point, I made a spelling mistake. My teacher wrote a note about it, basically calling me illiterate, and telling me to pay attention in school instead of whining about it. She misspelled "school". FML
Today, after turning in a paper that I worked really hard on, I got it back with a grade of 0. In the feedback section, my professor wrote: “In all my 37 years of teaching, this is by far the worst essay I have ever read.” FML
Today, my teacher told me that she couldn't find my hand-written essay on the Renaissance, and that I have to re-do it all by tomorrow. I later saw my essay on her desk, covered in a massive coffee stain that made virtually everything unreadable. FML
Today, I turned in my homework. Too bad I accidentally handed in the printed answer sheet I found online to copy from. FML
Today, I met my teacher after school to talk about a paper on which he gave me a low grade. I told him that I felt it was wrongly graded and he agreed. He lowered my score. FML
Today, I received a terrible grade for an essay I worked really hard on. I had two friends, one being an English major, check it over. However, apparently I "clearly didn't use spellcheck" on this essay just like the last one I submitted to her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This is why you save your papers on the computer.

#1: By original, the teacher means the graded copy so that she can verify that the OP isn't BSing her about the wrong grade thing. And, OP, that really sucks. I hope you find it.

And this is your problem because SHE screwed up? Go to the Dean. You are under no legal, moral, or other obligation, implied or in writing, to keep those materials. She can change it without a reason, and certainly for a clerical mistake.

Seems like you didn't do so well on all the other papers. Don't blame this one for being the straw that broke the camel's back.

wow I just want to smack people saying "YDI for not saving to your computer" the OPs teacher wants the original, graded copy. not a computer print out she'd have to re-grade. and to 37, maybe the grade is so wrong that the OP's grade in the class is greatly affected. Even getting a C or D in just one class could affect a scholarship, despite the fact they may be getting As and Bs in everything else. and regardless, it's messing up the OP's GPA. no one wants that.

I feel for you man. Once I took a quiz that I found really challenging but my teacher lost it and entered my grades in as a 0. She then proceeded to blame me saying that I did not turn it in.
