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 115: I Heart Battlestar Galactica (Unfortunately)
So. I have a week and a day left in this semester. I have two papers due--one tomorrow morning and one a week from now. Today's goal: to start and finish the paper that is due tomorrow morning
Result: I did start and finish the paper. However, I was constantly deterred from said paper due to my new love for Battlestar Galactica. I stupidly watched the first episode maybe a week ago, and I have been on a mission to watch every episode as fast as possible ever since.
Yes, I did get the paper finished and turned in. And it will more than likely get me an A. But I can honestly say that I know I could have done a better job with the paper. I edited the paper several times, but in actuality I am a better writer than one would suppose from the paper that I turned in. I didn't work as hard on it as I could have because I just HAD to know what would happen on the next episode of said series.
Also, although the paper didn't take up more than 2 hours or so of my time, I definitely could have used the rest of the day to work on research for the paper that is due a week from now.
Note to self: Never start watching a new series when you are close to the end of the semester. Unless you do not care about your grades or GPA. Which definitely isn't me.
