Things aren't as bad as they seem
Things are never as good as they can get
There are the best of times
and the worst of times
It's amazing what some small ideas and a little work can bring

But most of all-- trying to remember that it only is a game.. after an intense 6 weeks and 6 years in the competition.. you come to expect things to be a certain way.. but some people just don't work the same way.. and they aren't necessarily ready to learn it.. it's all a part of this "all on the same team" concept... what's right and enough for some is not always correct and good enough for others.. compromise is key and sometimes you just have to accomplish less than you know you are capable of and accept it..

But it is only a game.. and hopefully one again next year where at least your own fate can be a bit more dependant on your own abilities..

Congrats to all...
