I often told my students to stop feeling angry and fustrated because indulging themselves in those feelings meant they were wasting their time and energy on that instead of on learning the material they needed to learn to get credit for the course they were taking.

Good to vent occasionally! Not good to nurture the anger and frustration. froggyintexas
