I bet it made you proud - thrice does exist and is used...quite often in a jokey way "thrice nightly" is used to describe how often someone who has sex a lot has it 
Hehe, one learns new things every day
I was pretty happy when I discovered a set of exercises from 2 years ago (when I thought I had quite a highly competent english - arrogant me again) and discovered that I had quite improved from that moment (which obviously means I wasn't as NEARLY as competent as I thought I was, you have to take care with whom do you compare yourself with, always: If you shine in comparison to some of your colleagues, it doesn't necessarily mean that you shine (it could simply mean that the ones you compared yourself with sucked at english) (and yes, that sounds strong, but believe me, that's quite close to the truth
)
Hehe, that reminds me of the sanity of the sane competition between colleagues, I had my internal rivals for almost every subject, in order to achieve better results (normally I failed
), normally it was someone I admired or something, funnily enough that's true for all subjects but ironically enough, english, in which I competed mentally against someone I actually despised (a true idiot), but he was actually quite good in english (the only subject he was good in though
)
Meh, I'm rambling.... I'll shut up for now
, I need to control myself more
