Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

WellThere'sThat
Today, I got a big math test back. Good news: I can connect abstract ideas beyond what was taught. Bad news: I can’t do simple math, such as 30/-5. I failed. FML

Teacher bust out the sad smiley face
Today, I got my multivariable calc final back, only to realize that the ten points I got off was for putting 10 + 15 = 35 on a problem. My teacher wrote ten question marks and “No???? 25???? :(“ next to it. FML

Today, I have a final for my precalculus class. After hours of studying this week, I felt pretty optimistic. Until I got to class and realized that I'd forgotten my calculator. FML

Today, I got back my math test. Instead of taking the time to mark the mistakes, my professor just circled the bottom half of the page and wrote "OMG." FML

Maths is hard
Today, disappointed with my results on a mathematics test, I went over it and realized my teacher had added up the marks incorrectly, leaving me with 17% less than I earned. The person who's supposed to be teaching me math can't even perform basic arithmetic. FML

Careless mistakes is what I call them. Or just not paying attention. It happens to all of us. One time, in calculus, I saw the word "average" and immediately thought it meant the average y-value of the function (yes, I even solved the whole integral before realizing my mistake) when in fact, it simply meant the average rate of change. I was lucky to have changed my answer in time on that exam.

When you major in something that's so tedious, it's easy to get caught up in big formulas and mess something easy up, don't worry about it.

I have no doubt you know the advanced formulae and equations, it can be easy to forget the simple stuff. Don't sweat it.
