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 123: Alarm Clock Woes
So. As I stated in my previous entry, I had a paper due this morning at 9:30am. I didn't finish it, so I set my alarm for 6:15am so I could go to school and finish it there and then turn it there. I still had two pages to write, and I like to edit my papers before turning them in.
Result: I use my iPhone as my alarm. Well, I forgot to turn the volume up on the alarm before going to sleep. Which I never forget to do. Except for this one morning. When my final exam paper was due. So I didn't even hear the alarm because it was pretty much inaudible.
Luckily I woke up at 730am somehow. THANK GOODNESS because I'm not a morning person, so thank goodness I woke up early enough to still have time to get to school, finish the paper, and turn it in by 9:30.
I finished it at 9:15, printed it, and turned it in at about 9:28. I got it done, and it was just a little over 5 pages (the minimum requirement). But I can't say it's one of the best papers I've written.
I just hope I get an A in the class. Please just let me get an A in the class...
