So true Tink. She stresses over every paper, every project, every grade. She will actually cry her eyes out if she doesn't get on a+ on something.

Thanks so much Tink!

And Traci, I don't mind if I get an A or an A+. There's no difference at all in your GPA so it doesn't bother me. It's the A- that would really upset me because I don't want to lose my 4.0. I guess I'm a bit of an overachiever. My hubby just laughs at me when I start stressing about grades... (well, unless I'm REALLY upset about it then he's wonderful). But yeah, I should probably not worry about it so much, but that's how I've been since I was in elementary school...

Oh I know you've been that way since you started school. Before your hubby was around I was one of the people who seen you stress to make sure each paper you turned in was perfect.

I think I've loosened up at least a little in college. So many college classes are actually easier than the AP and honors high school classes I was in. (It's weird.) So I don't try as hard since things aren't graded as harshly. If only Brendon would've seen how much I stressed about everyinthing in high school he'd really get a good laugh, wouldn't he? lol

I actually think he would have driven himself crazy trying to figure out how to get you to stop stressing so much. I didn't know you had loosened up some. I'm glad you have. Having good grades is great but I remember times you made yourself physically sick worrying about it.

Its hard to kick the habit of perfectionism, but try, when you know you did it good, then relax, and know it will be ok.

My son is a lot like that, he is always affraid he forgot to put something in hes schoolbag, he will check it 2 to 3 times over, before he leaves.

There should be a 12 step program for perfectionism...

My husband thinks my stress level is going to cause me to have major health problems in the future, but this is just how I have always been. I keep telling him that in two weeks I'll get my grades and then I won't be stressed anymore. (But then again, I always find *something* to worry about.) At least I am better about it than I used to be...

congratulations
its so glad to hear you are going to be progressing with your education

i hate when people never achive their dream

you go girl and good luck
