thank you everyone for the kind remarks. i didnt know how it was going to be received because all the information is already out there but i couldnt find it explicitly mentioned anywhere and thought it would have been helpful for me had i read it before attending my first meet.
revision 1 - bullet 5 has been added. i have quite a few other monkeys running around in my head that need some discipline after which their thoughts shall be penned down as well.
to my chagrin i have not put any time on editing this post for grammar or effect so if anyone would like to clean it up, you would be doing me a big favor. however, i will make an attempt to make it more readable and less annoying once i finish the post itself.
