You know

when you sort of make a mistake, and feel like an ass about it and wish that you were a better sort of person rather than the idiot you exhibited yourself to be?

I know that I tell students that it is a learning and growing experience to make mistakes, that to learn from our mistakes is a good chunk of what life is about. I still need to work on holding myself to those same standards--rather than impossible ones.

It has been a beyond crazy-busy week, and it seems that things are only going to pick up for me here on out...I need to suck it up and do this for myself, and try a lot harder than I have been.
