This morning before the test we all (the smaller group of try-agains) sat around and talked... somehow it came that we all were wrecks after we found out we failed the first time around. But none of us told each other. We emailed the two people we weren't embarrassed to know that we did not succeed and we cried on our bf's and we sat at each others houses late at night and shyly admitted we were scared, but only in the safety of night and to the people who already knew we were human.
And then in the imminent threat of more we told each other- in case we didn't make it out of there, in case we did. How silly it seemed when we were all laughing. Of course we had been upset! Of course we had doubts and frustrations! And of course we were not alone.
Of course failing one thing did not make us a failure.
And look! We succeeded. Ha.
