I was told tonight that I was being too hard on myself after I became very critical of the cut I did on my mannequin. Both my teacher and the senior teacher told me I did a very good job and had no errors but I still found a way to beat myself up.
That's the thing--I'm not really mad at myself. 99% is a great score. This test was easy, but the other one in Discrete Maths was really hard, I mean the average score in the class was 74, with a sigma of 8, so I beat that thing by more than three standard deviations.
I'd rather a 95% than a 99%. Both good A's. One is just a two pencil marks away from perfect... 
Yeah, I can't really get mad at myself either. I think for me, it's a natural reaction because of the way I was raised by a mother who looked at me as a failure. So while the 98.28% I carry in school is better than the majority of the students there, I still tend to be down on myself simply because I'm not used to having positive support around.
I don't know if that's your case or not, but if it means anything, I think you're doing a great job in school!

Having one of the most delicious hot dogs known to man. Dressed with onions, diced tomatoes, cheese, Mayo, mustard and dog knows what else.
My stomach is rebelling but I'm happy.

If it makes you feel better Vor, I cannot wait until the kitteh's calm down and become "quiet" like the older three. The boys just race around, knocking things over, getting into boxes, jumping on counters and are just basically troublemakers. The other three are nice and calm and quiet. They do have their moments though - once the catnip is brought out.

Haha this is funny....remember how earlier I said my headlight on my car was out? Well out of curiosity, I wanted to see what would happen if I banged my plastic coffee mug against it. Well it turned the light on. There must be some sort of loose connection somewhere because if I'm correct, headlights normally dim over time. Mine didn't dim. It just went out. So now I'm going to have to see if there is a loose wire around.

might be some crud in the connector on back of light bulb assembly
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Possibly gremlins being as everything is encased in plastic. No dirt can get in.

Nymph, in my experience, those lights have a tungsten filament, like old time bulbs...
And, just like those, when the filament breaks, the light goes out instantly... It also tends to go out when turning it on, due to a current spike that heats it up too much, a bit of the filament turns liquid and stops making a connection.
I've never heard of such lights going dim prior to failure...
But hey...maybe 'murrican cars are different!
