"Practicing" for "OTB" School Tournament Day 3 + UNBELIEVABLE NEWS!

ChessTacticsTournamentStrategyAnalysis
Today, I woke up, thinking it was normal with an finals history exam. It wasn't.

Why did I add a quotation mark for Practicing? Well, I just came back from school and I was so excited to share the news!
Now, the UNBELIEVABLE news I wanted to say is, the reason why there was the quotation mark for OTB, THAT'S BECAUSE THE TOURNAMENT IS NOT ACTUALLY OVER THE BOARD!
Today, the invigilator of the exam was my PE teacher. After the test ended, I asked him: "What is the time of each chess game?" (I asked in Vietnamese but this is my translation) He said, 15 minutes no increment, ON LICHESS. EXCUSE ME? ON LICHESS? I asked him one more time. He confirmed.
I'm beyond happy. No words can describe my happiness. Not only I am using Lichess very professionally, but this is a MASSIVE advantage for me. Almost everyone only plays OTB and the ones who do play online play on Chess.com.
Not only is my confidence boosted by A TON, but it is also an advantage.
Now all I can do is train hard. Thanks for reading!
