>tfw you get a problem wrong on an exam because of some elementary

>>7667887
Knowing you're in way over your head but you have to keep going to the class to keep up pretenses and it feels like you're drowning but you don't know what you can do about it.

>making elementary math errors

No I do not know this feel

Knowing that you will live for only five years is a pretty negative feeling.

>>7667887

If we make elementary errors, and the problem was still solved correctly in principle, it's full marks.

Oh no, but sometimes I think about dying without doing anything ground breaking. Be grateful that you're alive and healthy.

>>7667928
Why do you think you'll only live five years?

>>7667928
Just saw a presentation on RNAi therapies for Huntington's disease. Imagine getting diagnosed in your 40s or so, after having kids, that you have a genetic disorder where you ultimately get paralyzed and die and that your children will most likely live through the same thing. Live to the fullest while you can I guess.

>>7667938
Shit, you mean hypothetically. I answered earnestly. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

>>7667935
I don't, I just think about if I suddenly got a deadly illness and didnt do all the things I pictured myself doing. Pretty counter-intuitive though.

>>7667914
This is why they shouldn't just teach you plug and chug formulas. If they are going to teach you how to calculate arc length, they should teach the differential geometry behind it.

It was the only test I ever failed and it felt awful. That's what I get for being lazy.

God fucking dammit

The fuck is wrong with me. These stupid errors are becoming more and more of a common occurrance

ewwwwww

Yes. Flat-out skipped an entire question on a four question exam. Some of the pages must have stuck together because I had no recollection of ever seeing it when I got it back. Got all the other questions perfectly, probably would have been my first 100% in uni if it wasn't for that.

>implying

One time in Cal I I got an answer of 16/1 and I wrote 1 next to it and circled it (how I designated my final answers)
She marked it wrong even though the correct answer was right next to it in the same size but not circled. I learned to just never circle my answers ever again.

>>7667887
I know that feel

I forgot 1-3=-2

rushed through the problem and ended with a component in my vector that was 1+3=4 so I got -3 for the question on my test

>>7667914
bro I did that exact shit on my cal II final.

I've failed tests because I copied fractions upside down from one line to the next on one problem and then dropped/added signs on another.

Haven't had my final yet, will make sure to look out for this mistake.

>>7667887
Yes.

>>7667914
>If the slope is too big the arc length is imaginary
Yeah, you're retarded and deserved it.

>>7668060
When I took calc 2 last semester we did improper integrals section with the other integrating sections, why did you guys wait all the way until sequences to be tested on it?

Knowing you were made wrong and are too stupid to ever do anything worthwhile.
