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 99: Books Will Be the Death of Me
So. I had planned on spending Friday, Saturday, and Sunday working on schoolwork. No problem there. However, where I'm housesitting, they literally have DOZENS of books that I want to read.
Result: I now know that I am weak when it comes to being surrounded by books, especially ones that are not mine. I'm surrounded by books at my home, but I know that they will always be there, so I don't feel like I have to read as many as possible as quickly as possible. But where I'm housesitting, I might never housesit here again, so I want to read as many as I can.
I didn't start working on schoolwork until around 5pm on Sunday. As a result, I won't have a certain assignment done on Wednesday. But it's not a specific deadline or for a specific class (it's research I'm doing with a professor), so I'm going to see if we can meet on Thursday instead of Wednesday.
At least it's books that I'm obsessed with, right...?
