Make a Mistake

Hello everyone...

So, as you can tell from the title of this post, I have made a mistake.

Everyone makes mistakes, it's a fact of life. Alexander Pope is quoted as once saying: "To err is human, to forgive, divine."

In this case, I'm looking at the erring and human side of this lovely quote.

Basically, this entire blog was designed to help improve my creativity, and teach me to stretch and explore my comfort zone, even going so far as to step out of it.

But unfortunately, I have made a grave mistake regarding this blog.

Before I begin, some backstory. Which will probably also reveal my mistake.

At the beginning of the year, myself and my fellow first years were given this blog as a year-long project to work on. The requirement was to have completed at least 25 items from a list of 90 activities to do, some of which included climbing a tree, making a sculpture, listening to a new music album, and more.

So, my mistake comes in the form of having procrastinated until last minute with this assignment.

On my blog site, I have only uploaded 6 blog posts currently, and I have two more drafts that I just need to complete and upload. Including this post, I'll have only done 9 blog posts. That leaves me with a requirement of 16 more blog posts to complete. These are screenshots taken of the different screens I pulled up for proof. (But now how do you take a selfie to prove something like this?)

Basically, I screwed up. Badly.

My problem with this assignment was the fact that we needed to post photos for physical proof that we actually completed the tasks.

And I've done a few of the tasks, but just really haven't taken the selfies to prove it. I don't like taking selfies, or having pictures of myself taken. A good friend, however, told me that I need to get over myself and just take selfies for the fun of it, to get more comfortable being in front of the camera instead of behind the camera.

So yeah, that's unfortunately where I am currently. And the final blog post needs to be completed by Friday 17th November 2017 at 5pm. So, I now need to go through my camera roll, find photos of the tasks I've already done, and post them into the respective blog posts and upload them, then move on to the next ones.

This coming week is also hand-in week. Luckily, there's not really any classes. However, the last bit of the projects need to be completed and handed in.

So, I made a mistake. I am human. And I need to come to terms with the fact that I made this kind of mistake, especially since I had planned to do the minimum required amount. However, there is nothing I can do about it now.

Now I have to hold myself accountable for my actions up to this point, and just make sure to work hard to catch up on all the posts by Friday to the best of my ability.

For now, I'm signing off until the next blog post. Ciao!
