Critique is Good but Praise is Satisfying

I had CCT (Critical and Creative Thinking) class and
was quite reluctant to go seeing as the next day is midterms and my evening class got cancelled by majority vote.
When the lecturer entered, she began asking about those who had yet to submit their due assignment

Our assignment was we had to do a mood board based on
The 6 Thinking Hats

I had to relate one hat to myself and produce a kind of 'scrapbook' on an A3 sized board
As expected, I chose green (creativity)
but I'll take a moment of your time and reveal that I am more closely tied with black hat (cautious and careful) but I couldn't come up with a way to show that on my mood board

Anyway,
She begun telling everyone that a mood board isn't about us explaining what the hat means. We were supposed to relate it with our own personality.
She gave an example of a girl who claimed to be a Yellow Hat (optimist) when she was actually a Black Hat (pessimist) and the girl had the gall to argue about that with her. Her reactions were negative and all she did was deny, deny, deny when an actual Yellow Hat person would have re-done the mood board the moment the lecturer mentions something is amiss.
Offhandedly, my lecturer mentioned that a lot of people claimed to be Yello Hats and Green Hats.

My heart kind of sunk at that time because I did a Green Hat and I was hoping my work could be the red rose among the black/the pearl among the sand etc, etc.
My mind was already conjuring a new mood board (this time blue - Strict and order) to give her. That was when she mentioned something new

"But there was one person - I'm not sure which class - who did a green hat. It was very simple but showed a complete understanding of what it means to be a Green Hat. This person had utilized a few objects - if I can remember correctly, a lot of bottles, and boxes -"
around this time I thought "that might be me!" and was excitedly tugging on Aina-kun's sleeve
"- and two bunkbed ladders. I see someone smiling! Who did this assignment?"
and my hand was instantly up. I was excited but then got nervous when people turned to see who it was. My hand shot down nearly as fast
"Ah you! It's really good! Very simple and to the point. She had lots of bottles (I nod), empty boxes and two ladders, right? (I nod enthusiastically) And from all of this she built a shoerack. It's very creative and she didn't use many words."

I just went to imaginary cloud nine at this point

Here's what the mood board looks like:

Very, very simple. I was even scared to submit it at one point.
four of those item images are from google.com
I drew both illustrations (just for this assignment) and the last picture was from an existing item.

A bit after that,
after telling us of another good example done by a student, she said that the mood board is really easy to get full marks and immediately mentioned that my mood board definitely got 10/10.

THIS.

Alhamdulillah. No other words left. Seriously.

Anyway, I just remembered last monday, we got out Business Math quiz sheet back.

I was one of five people who got 40/40

._.

Whoa.

We have another quiz sheet that the lecturer hadn't returned yet. I really hope I did well in that also
