I find myself failing at things everyday. Perhaps I am too hard on myself, however spelling 'writing' wrong is fairly pathetic. I am taking a calss called 'Writing 12' and one would assume that I have the capability of realizing I hit 't' one too many times on the keyboard. However I repeatedly spell other things wrong when typing 'just' often comes up as 'jsut', 'the' becomes 'teh' and so on. I fail at typing.
Before even this failure I have fialed today. I am doing the 'potato lab' in biology. I don't intend to explain it, if you're in biology you know what I'm talking about and if not, well I am very sorry. Well I was adding all the potato pieces to the various test tubes and I got to about test tube eight before my mind was wandering (as it often does). I accidently put two pieces of potato in one test tube. Actually, writing about this now, it seems awfully trivial to think of this instance as a failure. It was an inconvenience to my lab partners and I. I fail at Biology Potato Labs.
Now for a real failure. One that actually involves failing something. I fialed my first road test. The second one I failed even worse. It's not that I am a bad driver at all! The first one was going so well, almost perfect actually, then when I wne tto turn into the ICBC parking lot, I drove over the curb. Apparently driving over the curb is extremely dangerous and it would make me a dnagerous driver (becasue, obviously I'm going to wreak havoc on Abbotsford and drive all over the curbs). So I didn't get my N, that was fine I'd get it the next time. Nope. I took my test in Chilliwack (which is not at all like driving in Abby, no matter what they tell you) and it was on a rainy day and to say I was a bit nervous would have been an extreme understatement. Eventually, parallel parking came to bite me in my backside and I failed. Again. I am still horribly mortified. I get nightmares even. I fail at road tests.
Well that's enough reflection on my failures for one day, it's good to know I'm human.
