How very well done that was.

On all sides of the competition, of course, not just our own; we were faced with some stiff competition on the long road to victory, after all. I would suggest another round because there are few things more exhilirating than seeing one's 4:30 AM practises pay off so magnificently, but given the rapid approach of exams, I don't suppose we have the time to make this a repeat performance, do we?

For what it's worth. I am here to listen if anyone would care to talk about it.
