Then Belle and I went back to her dorm to practice for a performance we had at a retirement home . It was such a last minute thing , we were pretty bad ... but they 're old people so I do n't think they noticed XD We got paid a good 60 dollars each , and we 're supposed to be getting an extra 20 later . Today I took another exam ... I think it went well , but I just wanted to get it over with . Then after that I got a call from my best friend , who was at home ( still pregnant !

Available options: a). We were thinking about failing the exam and that was more important .. b). We did n't care because we would get paid no matter what .. c). None of the above choices .. d). The audience was a retirement and they would n't be aware enough to care ..
Answer the following question: What was the appalling reason I think our bad performance was okay ?
d).
