Student life too often turns from an average day to a life-ruining moment of embarrassment and lament. The most obvious thing to do with these tales of “I wish I were never born” content is, of course, to publish them anonymously on the Internet so that people may laugh at others’ misfortune. Each story begins with “Today,” and ends with “CML,” or, Curse My Luck.
Today, 89.4%. CML.
Today, Dr. LaGory gave me no Keables correction marks on a paper. I bought several frames to immortalize my achievement, but when I looked at my paper again I saw that I had a spelling error on the last page. I accidentally left out the “r” in “shirt.” CML.
Today, I arranged all my admission letters in order of preference and opened them. I was rejected from my top three colleges, waitlisted by the other three, and accepted for a job at Wendy’s. CML.
Today, I asked Doc what grade I got on my physics test, which I studied for all weekend. When he looked in his grade book he laughed. Doc never laughs. CML.
Today, I found out none of my sports I participated in for the last two years have not counted toward PE credit. I’ll be taking PE every quarter until I’m a senior. CML.
Today, I was on AIM and saw that one of my friends was on. I think her sister’s pretty hot, and it really bothers her when I tell her that, so I decided to have a little fun. After I spent 10 minutes telling my friend how amazingly gorgeous her sister was, I got a reply: “Hello.” It was my friend’s sister. CML.
Today, I had to edit three papers and do eight pages of calculus homework, but I couldn’t because I had to write a bunch of fake CMLs for the school paper. CML.

Today, I got in trouble for not writing my paper for Mr. Motter because I was too busy reading Imua online. CML.
@Amila: Oh, I see what you did there.
