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 260: My First Day as a Research Assistant.
Today was my first day acting as one of my university professor's research assistant. My job: To administer computer tests/programs to 3 students in order for them to earn extra credit points.
Result: I felt like a complete moron. I didn't know what the hell I was doing! Luckily my professor was there to help me administer the tests. And yes, even though he was there and was telling me how to do it--I still felt like a complete moron! It was very uncomfortable for me. But I got through it and am still glad that I am acting as his research assistant (grad school anyone?).
