I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 52: Book Club Reading Fail
Today was the second meeting for the book club group that I am running for my school's skeptic/secular group. I had said that we would discuss chapters 2 and 3 at the meeting.
Result: I unknowingly assumed that the rest of the chapters in the book would be similar in length to chapter 1, which was about 20 pages. At 2pm (the meeting is at 5pm), I opened the book, and I quickly realized that each chapter was 40 pages or more. I only got through chapter 2. At first I was like, "Way to go Gina, you didn't even read both chapters!" But I soon just accepted it, and so we just discussed chapter 2. So no biggie :-) We'll just discuss chapters 3 and 4 at the next meeting.
