Asignment One: My Failures

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.

Poor Nellnell. I can see why driving in Chilliwack would be rather different, but you shouldn't have even failed your first test 'cos everybody drives over curbs sometimes.

Except me, of course. I'm amazing.
