This is not just from the professors--who take great pains to remind us: "Your grades in graduate school don't matter. No one is going to care.

I'm reminded of RuPaul's motto: "What other people think of me is none of my business." If you care about your grades, that's great! Don't let people make you feel guilty about wanting to do well. Since in this case it's something positive like grades that can actually have an impact on your future education as well as your personal pride/confidence, ignore these people's attempts to get you to sabotage yourself. Don't kill yourself trying to get there, become depressed if you don't meet your own expectations, or sacrifice too much in your life because of studying, that's all.

You sound like a young me (I think I read on your Anakin Solo site that you are two years younger than me?). Hehe. I've only taken one graduate-level course so far. Good luck! I am happy for you.
