Jay: Ease up! You're a student. Your grades are your main feedback mechanism from teachers. If you want more, ask for their thoughts on how to improve what you've made. Things can always be better, of course. Just make stuff, show it to people, ask for feedback, and listen to the folks whose work you respect. You don't really ever stop doing that, and you never feel like you're work is ever "there."

Also excited to get you the mag. Hope you like it!
