That's what she needed to hear from you ... that you were proud of her and that's what you did, so that's great.
But how can you deep down harbour the feelings of disappointment? Is that because she didn't get up to the standard you would have liked? You said yourself that she studied and analysed her previous attempt, is this not good enough. Is her heart really in this career choice is maybe something she needs to consider.
As for shopping, why can't she? Is she spending your money or hers? For some people, I assume the art of shopping is their way of meditating - not my preferred choice, but I can still understand.
She needs you to be supportive, and be that!
