Weirdly enough, no. Not that I remember. My grades were all over the place, mostly because I rarely did homework (on time). But my mom was okay with it until she actually started getting notices about the missing homework.

Regarding my thoughts, I'm perfectionistic in principle but not in action. I want perfection but rarely do anything because I guess I know it won't work out that way. I guess it's easier to criticize and plan rather than to act and fail...
