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 182: Appointment With a Prof
My professor and I are working on a research project to start in the fall. Right now, we are working on the details.
Today, we had an appointment to go over the Methods section--decide the details of how we're going to do the study. I was going to go over and redo my hypotheses. And finish up the introduction.
I did neither.
I was afraid that my professor would kick my butt. I mean, I knew he wouldn't really do that, but I want to stay on his good side. Yet that wasn't enough motivation for me to actually do what I was supposed to do.
Luckily, it all worked out, and I got by just fine. But still, I don't recommend not doing what your professor says you should.
