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 87: Event Planning
So. I'm an officer for my university's skeptic/secular student group. As an officer, naturally I'm supposed to help plan events.
The problem is, I HATE planning events. I hate coming up with something to do, who to ask, who not to ask, what if no one shows up, what if the person I want to host doesn't want to do it, blah blah blah, etc etc etc.
I found two speakers for my school's skeptic group. They both said they would do it. One of them told me this. Several months ago. And I JUST today sent her an email asking if she would still do it and when would be good for her. The other speaker, I finally emailed yesterday after talking to him about it the night of the Oscars (whenever that was; but I know it was over a month ago).
So, I am glad that I have emailed them both by now. But I HATE planning events!! Ugh. Must follow through, must follow through...
