...and I've just realized that the college I've chosen is not exactly computer geek friendly.
Damn.
Discuss mistakes you've made in the past.

My mistakes number in the hundreds. For instance, here's some of my larger blunders:
- Took off permit from building project (-$50)
- Went 74mph in a 55 zone (-$135)
- Sold AAPL at $35/share, when it went up to $70/share and split (-$1500)
- Threw away receipts for reimbursement (-$75)
- Failed three college classes in one quarter (-$1100 tuition)
- Left countless food items out that went rotten (-$priceless)
All in all, my mistakes have cost me a pretty penny. Money can be replaced though.

I let my mother re-marry to a man who made my life Hellish for four years.
I moved back in with my father, knowing it would make me completely miserable.
After living here a year, I decided to stay another year because of academic opportunities.
I've been exceptionally nosy at many times in my life, and it has always either gotten me into trouble or made me feel horrible.
I started other relationships because I thought the one that was most important to me was dead and I needed to fill an empty place in my life. Then when that relationship picked up again unexpectedly, I abandonned and shrugged to the side several people who were probably very attached to me.
I continue to let this one person be an undying obsession, my favourite thing in my life, even though this person causes me great pain sometimes.

-Believed a friend who was misinformed over bf. Cost me my bf and now that I know the friend was wrong has irreversably damaged my friendship with him
-Let my cat upstairs though I know she will piss on everything
-Kept a friend who is a manipulator
-Chose the wrong school
I know there are a lot more but I don't feel like diving into them at the moment.

Wasn't careful when messing with a power supply... -$70 for power supply and -$70 for the motherboard the spiking power supply fried.
Had huge argument with friend over something that didn't even matter, nearly losing said friend. We patched up though, but it took months and lots of work.
Proposed to a girl who I should NEVER have proposed to (thank GOD it didn't work out.)
Some of the bigger ones i've made wink

I've failed 4 yearlong classes in 2 years of highschool.
Algebra 1
Physics
Geometry
Spanish 2
I've retaken Algebra 1 in the summer, wasted sophmore year retaking Physics, took Geometry over in the summer, and am currently wasting junior year in Spanish 2.
Oh, and summerschool is $500.
The school I got to is $9000 a year, plus $400 roughly for books.
Thats about $6,142.

Are Rommie and I the only people who made mistakes NOT measured in monetary value?

The only thing I actually regret is being really mean to someone I cared about but wasn't getting the clue.
Someone once said 'The only thing we can't get back is time' so any wasted money isn't that important to me because there is always more in the future.

Immediate_stance Are Rommie and I the only people who made mistakes NOT measured in monetary value? I live without regrets, m'friend. So I don't believe I;ve ever made a non monetary mistake.

Remember, those people will bag your groceries later on in life. 3nodding Or so you think.
Mistakes? I've made a few. More so regrets than mistakes though.

*chuckles* I'm just gonna chalk up grades 2-11 as one big "life mistake", and call it good. Never studied, never did the homework; I knew everything they taught already, but that didn't help my grades. Around 7th grade, stress started making me sick, and I'd miss school all the time. I dropped out as a junior, and did the first real good thing towards getting my life back on track - got my GED, and kept the hell away from high school. Currently in college, still paying for my mistakes with the stress-related sickness that just caused me to fail one of my Japanese courses due to being absent 4 times... but I'm more or less over the homework thing, which is a major step in the right direction!

Well, non-monetary mistakes are often hard to tabulate, since there's no real way to measure the severity of them. I guess, in addition, there's no sure fire way to calculate the losses, or what would have happened if said event hadn't have happened. In either case, I would speculate that I've made more than an average person's share of non-monetary mistakes, but I haven't a clue what they are. wink
