It was a hard day to me.The teams are supposed to be at 9:30 am coz the contest will start at 10 am,I was there at 9:30,but my team wasn't there.I called them but I found that one was just woke up and the other will make something before coming.I was shocked :S .
They started calling the teams and called my team name ,it was a team consisting of one(me)!!!Al mohem the contest started at 10:45.One of them came after the begining of the contest.I think we were entering the contest knowing that we won't answer anything and I was angry from my friends.We answered the first problem in two hours but with wrong format of output as we thought.We tried to think about other problems but we couldn't finish any of them.we didn't submit any problem.
Then someone came to ask us if there is something wrong as we are the only team who didn't submit anything.All around us have ballons.I felt desperate.I couldn't think any more.Finally ,the contest was finished.We are the only team who didn't solve any problem.I felt the pain of stupidity:( .
Although I was very sad but I learnt a lot.
First,not to enter any contest without studying.
I wanted to proof to myself that I am not stupid.I tried to answer an old Acm problem.I started it in the next day and solved it in three hours at different periods of time.But I do it,horeeeeeeeee:) .I am not stupid.
Second,I learnt that u must challenge yourself.
And I also knew later that we solved the problem right in the contest.I was very satisfied.
At last, I learnt not to look around or to be influenced by anything during the contest to continue the contest without feeling desperate:) .

I check ur blog every while to see if there is something new. and here they r. 2 new posts :D. I started reading this one cuz u know how much I love ACM :D.
Anyway, about el contest we keda. 1st, it's gr8 that u participated and believed u could do it and u really can (Just work hard and mata7'doosh Balloonz aktar mennena 3shan mane7sedkosh :P).
Second, to win in an ACM contest u have not only to practice but to act like a team and organize ur work. U should practice with ur teammates even if every one practices alone. U should meet before the contest to set some rules we keda. I don't wanna repeat myself but u can check my post about the ACM Contest.
and really realy nice to see u back to blogging. Keep writing, I'll keep waiting for ur posts ;)
Thanx Asmaa for your comment, I think you are right that we must work as a team and set rules before entering a contest.This might work with us as we didn't try it before, We must benefit from your experiences:).
