How have you managed all that, the mental side of it?

Yeah, it's a good point, actually.

A lot of us, um, haven't had the week off previously in finals.

We've, we've had to back it up each week.

So, um, it was a nice re- refresher.

Um, yeah, certainly, um, yeah, it's a bit, bit of an extra weight, um, and, and watching the other games.
