-It was my first comp and I enjoyed it muchly.
-I failed at restringing my magic late the night before.
-After not being able to practice magic I failed it
- I made a particular effort to judge and judged alot (I enjoyed it), but was scared of scrambling big cubes.
-I had about a 6 cube streak of not messing up 4x4 scrambles followed by 2 messed up scrambles in a row which agassi had to fix.
-I had about a 30 second 5x5 lock up which I refused to give up and DNF. Charlie had to help instruct me how to fix(without touching).
-While fixing the 5x5 lockup I had a huge pop
-While failing to fix the pop I finally decided to DNF much to Zyrb's amusement
-Conor and I pwn at Big Cube team-BLD
-I set 2 PB's at square-1 even with some quite bad nerves.
-I beat my ambitious goal of sub 22.95 single, twice.
-I averaged about 45 seconds at OH minutes before OH started, then proptly failed at it and didn't get an average.
-I couldn't have done worse in H2H
-I am incredibly grateful of Charlie and the other people who made it happen and also the sponsers or whoever it was that got me my sexy tshirt and bag and ds game. <3

EDITS:
- PooHong was my Idea.
-I <3 my trophy from clearing away.

I emailed the results to the WCA last night, and I assume they will be up any time now really, whenever someone gets a chance to check the spreadsheet and make sure everything is accurate.
