Yay We Made It!

Howdy!
So we all survived the long excruciating drive up here and we're at World Finals!! Yay! We just now managed to find internet access on campus. Ughh...we're in a freezing cold computer lab and we're all freaking wet; it's raining here in Michigan.
But wow, I've met some really cool kids from all around the world, kids from Poland, Singapore, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Germany, Canada, Mexico....and then there's all the states. But man, it's been great, an amazing experience. I'll post some pics later, I don't have all the cables for my camera with me right now.
Oh, and we have a buddy team from Poland and they're really cool! We've had some really hilarous language barrier issues w/ them. Hannah's been acting as the Goodwill Ambassador and has already managed to call one poor Polish boy a Duck's Bottom. See, his name is Kuba, and Hannah thought his name was Cooper. But in Polish, Cooper literally means a duck's bottom, or in slang, it means Crap. LOL. And this one guy on the team, Julien, he's great! Really funny.
So yeah, we're all having an awesome time! We're really tired, last night these 3 drunken Americans and 1 drunken Pole wouldn't freaking SHUT UP. I mean jeez they were right outside my window. So I was up all night shouting at them in Yiddish.
Yesterday we performed our Long-Term Problem Solution, and we did really well! Everything actually worked, and we got to compete in this huge beautiful theater. Great acoustics. And then we went to see Pirates of the Carribean with our Polish team! Julien ate all the popcorn.
We had Spontaneous today, it was a lot of fun, can't tell you anything more about it though. So today is the last day (sob) and we've got the closing ceremonies tonight, then the teen party!
Oh, and then the long, extruciating drive home. Great.
