My frustration continues

This week I found out that even though I had cleared the first level of Shaun White and got to the next country, I had not completed all of the challenges in the first country. I went back to try and complete the challenge that I hadn't finished, and I wound up spending hours attempting the same snowboarding trail over and over again. The course that I cannot complete is a downhill race and I cannot do it fast enough to earn the respect award. The challenge is to complete the course in less than two minutes, and I've come really close, but I am still not fast enough. I did this course so many times; I should have counted how many times I tried. Eventually I just gave up.

Now that I know that I have to complete this course to truly finish the first country, I cannot move on until I do so (even though the computer will allow me to do so). What I have learned this week is that practice does not always make perfect, and that playing video games can take up way too much of your time. Even though I kept failing at my task, I kept trying.

I will succeed at this task. I just don't know how long it is going to take me to do so.
