Celebrating Failure

26A – Celebrating Failure

The week we came back from summer break I completely forgot about the Cupcake for that week. I completed the peer reviews, but spaced when it came to doing the cupcake. I woke in the middle of the night that remembering I had forgotten to take it. I looked to see what time it was so I could run and take it. I was 3:30AM! I missed the deadline. I go so upset at myself for forgetting about the Cupcake. I laid in bed thinking what was I going to do. I realize that it was only 1 point, but I truly didn’t mean to skip the assignment. I don’t remember falling back to sleep, but I did because the next thing I remember was alarm going off.

I learned that I need to always complete my assignments at the same time if possible. I have a routine that I normally follow, but on the first Monday back from break I wasn’t back in my routine yet.

When I fail at something I get upset at myself. I know that I can do better than what I did or I’m mad at myself for forgetting about something. I am not a risk taker. I’m not sure this class has changed anything about that. I like to make careful thought out decisions, so I don’t see that changing.
