At The Moment I Am Still Learning How To Learn From My Mistakes

Anyone could be typing an article at the moment, for fun, for a living or for both. Even if they are working on homework, or studying for a test,
Life is all about screwing up, and trust me, it gives you a lot of space to screw up. But what do you do when you have surrounded yourself with mistakes and never learn from them, never empty the box of mistakes.
I don't know, but I know I have gotten close to suffocating in the box of mistakes...many times.

I have let my laziness overpower me several times, making me put aside what is important. Right now I should be doing homework, but instead I right an article...the typical thing to do at 12:00AM when you think you have a cold and you have work due the next day is to sleep and feel guilty about not doing it...right? Well instead I am wasting my time writing a horribly structured article. Even as I write, there is a voice saying "stop you have work to do, you are wasting your time." I am aware of this mistake, but do I take action..no.

Today I stayed home for all but fifth period of school.  The reason for that was that I was sick with a cold and was awake until 2:00AM.  I was woken up around 11:51 AM by my father who informed me that I needed to study.  In my tired state I thought, "Why is he telling me to study, when I told my parents at 2:00 AM that I needed to sleep in because I was sick I never mentioned I would study."  I asked 30 minutes of extra sleeping, he said 20, I agreed.  In the midst of my extra sleep time I am woken up by my mother's nervous voice. She asks him to get me out of bed.  Of course I get out because I then realize that I needed to study.

The funny thing right now is I am supposed to be studying for science, but instead I am writing a horribly structured article.
