Thank you so much! :)

Guess you didn't see my above post. I am fine, would certainly never ask this of someone else; I was exhausted from all the things mentioned in my most recent post. I am hard on myself because I am an overachiever. I am an overachiever because I am terribly insecure, so people please accept my...

Link to an article I wrote this past May. Wonderful getting to know these inspirational women! https://wrightsvillebeachmagazine.com/amazing-aviatrixes/

Guess some of you misunderstood me, so let me clarify. I have historically been extremely hard on myself, since I was eleven years old, almost 40 years. Long story and I won't belabor the details but my parents instilled a lot of self doubt in me at young age, which turned me into the...

I am not sure who is calling whom a troll? If it is I, I apologize. I'm new to the forum and last night I got a little desperate. I just got really emotional over it and, yes, I am a perfectionist! We just got our first-ever airplane, a 1980 Mooney M20J, and I absolutely love her! Maybe just...

That sounds like a plan. Am planning to go through CFII, then teach. This is a retirement venture for me, LOL! Trying to decide about a retest after a 92. Even my dpe says to stop obsessing over it and move on but I'm so numbers oriented that I've even considered giving up my flying. After...

Thanks! What is maddening is that I know the material cold! I use Gleim plus AIM plus FARs plus all applicable handbooks, and never even heard of Sheppard! The proctor told me about it yesterday when she saw how disappointed I was at not making 100. Maybe I should check that out and then retest...

Thanks! That does help; my instructor and even my dpe think I am being too hard on myself. It's my nature, I guess; I've been like this since I was six.

I took the ifr written today for the first time. Got 92 and was gunning for 100, since I made 98 on ppl with which I was also disappointed. Truth is, I knew the material inside out but suck at tests. Was so nervous going to the the test that I made three wrong turns trying to get there. Wonder...

I got a 92 and very disappointed. Didn't memorize anything for test purposes. Did the work, made consistent high scores on Gleim practice tests. Had made a 98 on PPL and would not have been satisfied with anything below 100 on this one. I'm a physicist and made higher scores in high math...
