Today, I have to take a midterm, which is worth a large part of my grade. All our teacher has taught us so far is how to roast s'mores over a Bunsen burner, and how to make gummy bears explode. Our test is on kinetics. FML

Today, since my finals are starting tomorrow, I made a joke about setting my math books on fire. I laughed. Friends laughed. Parents laughed. Guess what subject just managed to actually get in touch with my scented candles? FML

Today, we had a surprise test at school. I was totally unprepared for any of it, so I BSd the whole thing and turned it in. A few minutes later, our teacher said we were allowed to use our notes to finish the test. FML

Today, the final for a class I'm in is taught by a decrepit old man who apparently has a flunk-out reputation. He spent the entire previous class making a study guide for the final exam, emphasizing, "THIS is on the exam. Know THIS." I studied it hard. Absolutely none of it was on the exam. Everyone failed.

Today, my chemistry professor made us all leave our classroom mid-lab because the class was complaining of the smell, and he was worried that there was a gas leak from one of the Bunsen burners. There wasn't, but it's nice to know my "silent but deadly" smelled like it might actually kill. FML

Today, I was in my psychology class taking the hardest test ever. After I spent most of the period trying to fill in the few answers that I knew, I looked up to see everyone with their notebooks on their desks. It was an open-note test. FML

Today, I found out that my entire class, me included, has to rewrite the painfully difficult midterm we wrote last week. All this because the Professor left the exams strewn across her desk. The cleaners thought it was trash and disposed of them. FML

Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML

Today, during science, my friend thought it would be funny to pour corrosive acids into the reaction test I was making. I had to explain to my parents why I have no eyebrows, but the worst part is that I only got a D. FML

Today, I had to sit through chemistry class watching the kid in front of me slowly peel off the scabs on his arms, examine them, and then eat them. For an hour. FML

Kinetics, is a s'mores recipe on a cereal box dynamics, the bear will fly, but how far?

I'm sorry OP, sometimes we get a teacher like that! I had a teacher in 10th grade who didn't really explain much about Physics, so I studied by the book and with study groups with friends. YDI for not doing anything about it! Your teacher won't care, you were SUPPOSED to study.

Maybe the midterm is written by your teacher, then it will be on s'mores and exploding gummy bears. Good luck!

I haven't met a good physics teacher yet. Mine is the same. Luckily I found information on the exam online and revised for it that way.

Well, kinetics is the study of rates of chemical reactions, so perhaps he was using these as examples to demonstrate how a marshmallow burns, chocolate melts and a gummy bear explodes - all are quantifiable chemical reactions...
