Aaaaaw ShotoJuku,
Please don't be too disheartened. It's NOT the end of the world.
The whole reason we are all so interested in how you did on this exam, is because many of us are terrified of it. We KNOW it is not an easy exam. You are not on your own in your disappointment.
Disappointment? Yes. Frustration? Yes. Grief? Perhaps! But shame? No way. You have NOTHING to be ashamed of, and certainly nothing to apologize for.
We know you studied. We know you studied with all your heart. We know you did the absolute best you could.
I think somebody whose username is ShotoJuku is no stranger to getting his nose bloodied. You shake it off, you clean yourself up (here's a napkin), and you move on. That's all this is...you took a punch! You took it for all of us. You can be proud of that. You are knocked down, but not knocked out!
When you feel a little better and have had time to recover, we will help you regroup and refocus. Life goes on Brian! Okay?
It's alright,
Snazzlefrag
