I've realized it's a terrible idea to have hazelnut cake in my house on a bad Bar prep day. I'm bound to get chocolate in my hair as I'm pulling it out, and I don't have the energy to shower again

Thanks :) It's so ridiculous because I was just telling Jeff today that I've been feeling pretty calm while everyone around me is just like, "I hate my life. I'm never going to pass this thing." And then I start inhaling cake. lol
It's like, normally I'm scoring between 50-60% right, but then a score under 50% comes in and I'm like, FRACCCKKK!!!!
I've definitely heard that the prep questions are harder than the exam questions. That's the only thing keeping me sane. That and Barry's bar prep people say that to pass you should be getting a little more than 50% of each section right. And if I'm already getting around that much right, then I should be able to pass as long as I keep it up, right?
Yesterday I tested myself in consecutive and got about 45%. I need a 95% to pass. I started crying uncontrollably, ate half a bag of Lays Salt & Vinegar (destroying my tongue and palate), and decided to clean and watch The Secret Life of the American Teenager... yep. YEP. I totally get it and I love you. Also, I love Regina Spektor.
I am realizing what a good thing it is that I have not made any more strawberry cupcakes (which I was going to for May) yet.
I find that it's worse with days like today: I got about 45% on one quiz, and then on the next one I got 71% right. Uhhh does this mean I'm learning nothing and guessing right? Does this mean the questions are too hard and I'm going to be able the actual test because apparently it's much easier? Does it mean that I learned from the crappy test, or does it mean that the 2nd test of generated questions was on topics that I understood better?? Does it mean that I should just go ahead and leave for Ireland now? Do you think I'll have to pay back my loans if they can never find me? And if they can't find me, do they put a tracker on my name so that when I enter the country, TSA shits themselves at the fact that I'm brown AND I owe the government over $200k?? Can we guess who is going to get radiation poisoning from being "randomly selected" for the x-ray machines? Will Baha'u'llah hate me for running away from a debt to my government? It's technically not a law that I'm breaking. I'm just backing out of an agreement. That's not a law. Yes

P.S. 95% to pass??? How is that even physically possible? Like, even if you have the 1-2 years to study?? Well, I have faith in you. I will not say you are going to pass. We learned that does not help. I will say that you are taking a very difficult test and you are a very smart lady. Do your hardest, pray deeply, and don't give up. And if you don't pass, I won't think you're any less smart and no one will be disappointed. We will still know it's a very difficult test and that you are a very smart lady. Just keep it up!
And give me cupcakes, damn it! Are you coming into town this Saturday for the springs? We aren't going because the cousins are here and we're heading to Melboring at some point in the day. Not sure when, but most likely the afternoon. But if you're home that night, and you think you could handle a break, maybe you guys can join us in whatever loudness we are partaking in. It will be very loud. Have you ever met Navid and Adeeb? And Navid's wife, Sanam? They're all insanely loud. It will be glorious. I love my family :
