Fall
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

Meh, once I wrote that a triangle was 360 degrees because the four corners add up to 360

Everyone makes mistakes...but at some point in your life, SOMEONE should have told you to double check your work.

I made a stupid mistake on my chem test once, I put down the valence of silver as 2 and it screwed up my whole answer... the stupid part isn't the mistake though, it's the fact that he gave us a sheet with all the valences on them, I just didn't bother checking it because I thought I had it memorized.

Whoever says you're a math failure don't know what they're talking about - and clearly doesn't know that higher level math doesn't even have numbers in it. I'm a Math Ph.D. at Princeton and also make calculation mistakes - adding and multiplying numbers is not what Math is about :)

Umm, if you're a math major and you're taking a test, why would 2 times 5 be on there?
