perfectionism..ap bio homework..

[Junie]

<p>im such a perfectionist. i am doing biology homework right now and its 3.43 AM. i didnt do the homework, a chapter outline, because i want to get my outline perfect. my AP bio teacher called my summer homework outline "amazing". amazing? i was only doing the work you assigned me, not to sound cocky or anything. but anyway, i decided to rush the outline because i've got other homework assignments and its late. i feel so uncomfortable about it as if im like OCDish. -_- does anyone else have a problem like this? i can't turn in subpar assignments without twitching. for example, half of the definitions on my outline are bolded, while half of them are not bolded.</p>

<p>perfectionism...</p>

<p>In APUSH, I turned in an 8 page paper I had written the night before it was due. She kept it among the 20 she has kept from the last 10 years.</p>

<p>I honestly didn’t care. Perfectionism is nice when it gets you from failure to success but nitpicking every detail is when you’re going too far. Then it hurts rather than helps.</p>

<p>I suggest you learn to deal with a 93 vs. 100…the effort for a 100 is far, far greater.</p>
