On my calculus test last week, I had solved an immensely complex problem that took up an entire page of work.. I had to graph multiple curves, find the shaded region, revolve it around an axis, deciding which method to use to find its volume, set up the integral, integrate....

I had done everything right until my very last line of work, where I said 4 times 4pi is 8pi *sigh*. Needless to say I failed the quiz XD

My class was making cookies, and since there were two kinds, we set two ovens for different temperatures. One was 350, one was 375. So I looked at the ovens every so often to see if they were preheated yet. But the numbers I was using in my mind were 50 and 75, without the 3 cause it was the same, so when I saw that the first one said 255, I freaked and was like "OMG, this one kept going!" and everyone's like "What?" And I said, "See? It says two fifty-fi...oh."

Ouch. That just hurts.

Mine is painful as well, though physically. I was cooking pasta today, and I was going to eat a piece to see if it was tender enough. I didn't want to use a clean utensil (you know, save the environment) so I used a spoon from my morning cereal. I scooped out a piece of pasta and went to put it in my mouth. Apparently I'm not that coordinated, and the pasta and water, that the spoon had also scooped, went down my shirt. Yeah, so I danced, trying to shake everything out of my shirt. I was quite the sight.
