Yes, exams are over but no point of rejoicing. The feeling of waiting for the results is worse than taking the papers. :(
Feeling low without anymore hopes for anything, her self-esteem becomes lower and lower. It is not that she is not trying to look at the positive aspects but the only reason why she is not having high hopes anymore is because that she is afraid of being disappointed again... No matter how strong you are, there will be a tinge of disappointment when something do not go your way.
