TIFU By forgetting my special triangles for my math test

I am in Grade 11 functions class and for the past week or so we've been learning trigonometry ratios from 0 degrees from 360 degrees. Today was our unit 4 test and I even studied last night, feeling confident on today's unit test, I was right, I was confident even while doing the test and I even thought I would get at least a 90...that was until during the next class when I double checked the correct special triangles ratios and numbers that we needed to remember, turns out I remembered it wrong while doing my test. The problem is most of the questions on the test I just did this morning is dependent on the numbers of the special triangles ratios i needed to memorise...other than the numbers that were wrong, I am pretty sure the process I did were correct.

For those who doesn't know what does memorizing special triangles ratios mean, its just basically a "formula" we needed to remember in order to calculate the correct trig ratios.

I really hope my teacher can give me process marks and not just give me 0 on most of my questions because I am pretty sure my process was right, its just the answers were wrong because I memorised the numbers wrong for the special triangles.

A bit of background info, I was pretty good at math, I got a final average of around 90 on my grade 10 math course last year and I was pretty proud of it considering that the class average was only 75. Now in Grade 11, the things I learned so far aren't too hard, but the tests that my math teacher gives out definitely are. I am very unfortunate to get a bad math teacher since the other tests that other math teachers gives to their students were way shorter and easier. On the first unit test, I even ran out of time and haven't even gotten enough time to finish the whole test...Combined that with my careless mistakes, i got a 70 on my first one then a 58 on the second one. After she realises that her tests was way too long and hard, she went easy on us and gave us an easy one for unit 3, fortunately i got 89 (I expected a 100 but my careless mistakes got the better of me) and bumped up my math grade back to at least a 75...This math test i did just this morning might drag it right back down but i am not sure...

Anyways, those are just a bit of background info and aren't as important

TL;DR:

I forgot an important math formula that was crucial for this unit test and I feel pretty bad about it considering that it is very much avoidable

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU Accidentally taught my 4 year old nephew the word chlamydia

So I very awkwardly taught my nephew, the word chlamydia the other day and not in the way that you would think… It was actually very innocent. I was with one of my sister’s friends and my friends who’s become part of the family and I was telling her about an interesting fact, not thinking about how my nephew was right beside us. I told her did you know that koalas can get chlamydia and that they can give it to humans… just a fun fact… and then he who can barely say clear words most of the time clearest day said koala chlamydia so that happened And he went to his grandmother’s house today, so I’m kinda hoping he doesn’t say that, but at the same time I would die laughter and about pee my pants if he did because holy crap, how do you react to that? TL:DR I shared a fact about koalas and my nephew hung on to two words from the sentence. Those two words which he repeated were koala chlamydia.

TIFU by asking guy (28F) I (26 F) have been on 5 dates with where we stand.

So, I (25F) have been on five dates with this guy (28M). We were supposed to meet on Friday, but he said he might not be able to or would have to meet quite late, which frustrated me because we only see each other once a week, and we hadn’t met the previous week. Frustrated, I told him, "I think I’m done. It was nice hanging out with you, but I can’t deal with this scheduling issue." He later got back to me and said he could actually make it at our originally agreed time. We went on the date, had a great time, and the next day he texted saying he enjoyed seeing me again. I responded that I did too but also mentioned that the scheduling issue was frustrating. He agreed, and I asked if he wanted to see me again. That’s when he said he’s not sure what he wants in life right now. The thing is, I’m also unsure about what I want in life at the moment. Looking back, I don’t know why I asked such a big question when I’m still figuring things out myself. Everything feels uncertain ...
