Geek: Today, in algebra, I took out my notebook. My Chinese teacher...

Today, in algebra, I took out my notebook. My Chinese teacher was so impressed with my "Chinese" writings on the cover that I'm now her "favorite student". Those "Chinese" symbols are actually Japanese, but I wanted someone to like me so badly that I didn't correct her. FML

Today, at a tutoring center, one of the tutors looked at my worksheet and laughed. She then showed all the other tutors my mistakes and they laughed along with her. The best part? They all speak Chinese and they think I can't understand them. I'm Chinese. FML

Today, I got a perfect score on my French quiz, and I was told to have my mom sign it. What I didn't realize was that all the way at the bottom she wrote "Good Nathaly!" and "I love you!" surrounded by little hearts. The teacher hung it up anyway. FML

Today, the Chinese student I've been teaching English to got on stage in front of hundreds of people to read her final essay. She ended with, "What a fucking day." I don't swear, and I no longer have a job. FML

Today, my art teacher showed off a painting of his name he got in Japan. I can read Japanese, and it actually says "Old idiot". I really don't want to break it to him. FML

Today, I collected my students' notes in class to check them. One girl, who is always drawing weird anime crap in her sketchbook, turned in just one piece of paper that read, "FUCK YOUR CLASS." FML

Today, I gathered the courage and wrote a love letter to put in the girl I like's school bag, at the end of classes. I felt anxious for a response. Her bag turned out to be her cousin's, and I became a joke in the classroom. FML

Today, I cheated on a math test by writing a couple of equations on my hand. Totally satisfied, I handed my test in, feeling like I had aced it. As I was heading toward the door, I happily waved goodbye to my teacher. She saw everything. FML

Chinese symbols and Japanese (kanji) symbols are the same, mean the same, but are only pronounced differently.

Japanese characters are Chinese characters. Be glad you didn't try to "correct" her.

Only people with no friends would know that or even have that on a notebook. Nuff said

You're... not very intelligent, are you? Japanese Kanji and Chinese characters are exactly the same; the only difference is pronunciation. Actually, "Kan" in Japanese means "China/Chinese" and "ji" means "letter/character"; literally meaning "Chinese Character". Kanji is often times used MANY times within a single sentence; many statements being comprised almost completely of kanji, with very little hiragana and katakana. Therefore, you should be happy you didn't correct her. You'd have looked like an idiot (like you do now).
