“Forethought we may have, undoubtedly, but not foresight.” -Napoleon Bonaparte
I’d say most things never fully go to plan. It either comes down to contingencies or a preemptive mindset re-frame/comfort shift.
This week I was working on structuring a website for our Interactive class. My laptop updated. I had gotten far enough along, but Dreamweaver crashed after moving a folder around. It wasn’t able to recover.
Definitely wasn’t a happy moment. I decided to call it a night and see if I could figure it out in the morning… otherwise frustration would not let me sleep.
In the morning, I couldn’t figure out how to recover it still. I went to class, I ended up being late, and my team didn’t do any of the work (they were presuming I would’ve done all of it lol) so we didn’t have anything to present in the morning for our progress… I started fresh and was able to catch up by the end of class. Everything was fine. Tout va bien. Rock ‘n’ roll.
It’s always fine, at the end of the day. We are still alive. For the most part, I’ll just need to try and build in some extra time for mishaps and misfortunes. I’m sure there will be plenty this quarter.
