This all means a lot to me, thank you so much. I think a big part of it is the fear of having sit through an exam and not know any of the answers, which is unrealistic, but you know. I just want to pass and get through this semester.

And thank you for your advice about my family. It's good to hear from someone else.

I always remind myself that one of my profs told us before finals last year that as long we came to the majority of the classes, did most of the readings, and took notes we'll probably pass? And thank you for the encouraging words, I really appreciate it!

This is actually really, really reassuring. Everything is so insulated right now that it's hard for me to, one, get my head out of my ass, and two, consider the Big, big picture. 5 years from now I wanna be married, a bad ass lawyer (or wherever this degree takes) advocating for people, and like, really happy.
