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 219: A Zero Goal Day
Oh my gosh, how I think the above statement is the story of my life lol.
So, today I had absolutely no goals for the day. Some people might think that's a good thing, or at least not a bad thing. Me? A no-plans-day scares the crap out of me. Because it's SO easy for me to just do absolutely nothing. I mean, obviously I have to do SOMETHING, but at the end of the day, if someone were to ask me what I did all day, I wouldn't really have a good answer.
So today started off pretty rough. By the time it was 3:45pm, I had already taken a 3.5 hour nap. And I had woken up at 10am, it's not like I woke up at 6am. I just was really tired. And that's never a good thing.
Luckily my friend Lani wanted me to go over to her place and take care of her dog for a couple of hours. So I gladly did that because it at least gave my day some sort of purpose. And then I went out for dinner with my friend Justin. And that cheered me up immensely because he came up with the best name for our student group ever: SASS: Super Awesome Skeptic Society. I think it's PERFECT because the word "awesome" is my favorite word ever. I use it several times a day.
And now I'm at home, posting to my blogs. I still have 3 hours or so before I'll go to sleep. Oh, and I did read a good amount today, so yay :-) And that is pretty much what I'll be doing the rest of the day.
So the point of this entry is to say that I failed at coming up with any goals for the day. And although the day sucked for a while, it got much better towards the end. So yay.
