Doing a fair bit of fighting frustration and anger as a result of final grade for one class being posted. I swear I have never had such an *** for a teacher before. I was trying to let it go till I got an email that was so condiscending and minimizing. He made it sound like I was a kid with no common sense and no knowledge of how the real world looks.

I know I did the best I could with what I was given and with my mental state being what it was for the last few months. I am well aware that less than perfection is not failing. I also know that my perception of failure is not actual failure. If any of the students I work with were to come to me with all of this I would tell them to be proud of what they accomplished and keep up the good work. Double standard? LOL

So while I know all of this and really want to beleive it, there is still a part of me that feels like a total failure for not doing what I know I can do (or at least what I feel I should have done.
