Sometimes you just don't want to win

I just found out that my team won one of the five finalist spots for
our class' business plan competition. While I am proud that my hard
work is recognized, it means that we have significant amounts of
preparation to do prior to the final round Friday, and I am concerned
about time constraints. Specifically, I've a major project due
Thursday, and I need to get my visa for shanghai on friday, forcing me
to miss the competition entirely. How ironic that the one time that I
win something, it only adds to my burden!
