Today, I printed out a worksheet that detailed instructions for my students to write a letter from the perspective of a Chinese immigrant in 1870 as part of their history homework. Half my class decided to Google Translate their assignment into traditional Chinese. FML

Payback for common core! Make these kids do math that goes against decades of teaching? They make you learn Mandarin!

You can fail them on the account that the Chinese is wrong. The characters are traditional, sure, but characters in the 1870s had evolved from it.

You have to give them credit. Go big or go home, guess.

Today, I missed my University entrance exam because of heavy traffic. I was stuck at one intersection for over an hour. The real kicker? It took me less than 10 minutes to drive home. FML

Today, I was excited to hear that I received three of my grad school recommendations in the mail from a very busy professor. They need to be submitted sealed, and of course, my nosy mom decided to open them. FML

Today, I had my girlfriend drive me to go buy a motorcycle. I rode it 50 minutes home, got in the drive way, put the kick stand down, and then lost my balance and fell on the other side. I paid $3000 to drop it in the first hour and break the turn signal off. FML

Today, I went to get the Apple store, my Mac had been making a grinding noise from the fan. The guy put his ear to the keyboard and said there was a CD in the drive so I couldn't hear the grinding from the fan. He ejected the CD. It was porn. FML

Today, I watched my neighbor bring his dogs into my yard to let them empty their piss-pipes and poop-chutes. He does this twice a day. I put a "cut it out" sign up. His dogs peed on the sign and knocked it down. My lawn is a landmine of dog logs and I don't know what to do, besides installing actual landmines. FML
