This last semester we were required at college to submit a project to the anual contest. Just a few days before the deadline Chamé (my team partner) and I finished the project.
The day of the presentation arrived and we were the first ones in line. There was a panel of judges (actually just two professors) who reviewed our presentation. The feedback we received was harsh but it was expected, though I did feel disappointed by the little interest we perceived by our professors towards our project.
After every team presented their projects every one of us received a certificate, we took a group picture and we waved good bye to the school to enjoy our vacations.
A few days later I received a message from Chamé telling me that the results for the contest had been shared and that we were the winners!!.
What's funny is that Chamé and I didn't know this was a contest until a day before, as we come from other cities and we are new to this campus and didn't know this was a competition.
