Yes!
I was really struggling with that last week in my college classes. Now to think that a 50 year old woman who hasn't been in college for years and years would make straight A's is shooting just a little too high, but not for me.
So I proceded to beat myself up over and over on a stinking B! For the love of mud, I was driving myself crazy!
I am still so tempted to be critical of my 20 year old AD instead of letting her learn from her own mistakes, and I've really been working hard on biting my tongue and just listening to her, instead of giving advice all the time!
