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

We all make careless mistakes like that. Once my bitch of an English teacher took points off because I spelled "dismal" as "disma".

Heheh... it happens. Its why I used a calculator to calculate EVERYTHING (even the 8*3's and such) on the SAT. My thinking is that with so much else that needs to be attended to while taking these tests, you need to have your mind thinking about the difficult stuff. And no, I'm not a dumbass, I got a perfect score on the math

I laughed really hard just then. I make stupid mistakes like that ALL THE TIME! But it's nice to laugh at someone else for once [:
