But then again...

Things slowly worked out in my team. Upon going through more thoroughly each of our part of the UBS Investment Banking challenge, our members got a better understanding of each other and their respective contributions.

Things got less tense already.

And at the ultimate point, during the presentation, it was an impressive one. What's even more important was our superior Question & Answer session. We were asked a question probably beyond the conventional scope of the competition but our 18-year old member had it resolved almost effortlessly.

The result? I, being the team's correspondent, received a call 4 hours later that confirmed our standing as the last 4 in Melbourne. For an undergrad non-honours team, I must say we did really well. And if we go through this round again, we'll end up in Sydney competing for the finals. But it's too early to talk just yet.
