I refer the OP to Elmore Leonard's rules of good writing - specifically rule #5 regarding exclamation points. This poster only has 2 left at a maximum for the next 100,000 words or so.

 

To the OP I say, calm down. No need to be excited or enthusiastic at HC. Be steady. Keep your thoughts trained on your objective. Enthusiasm has ruined many a good musician. It's like a narcotic. You get hooked on it and people will write you off as just another enthusiast. Before you know it, you'll be sleeping in alleys and burglarizing homes to scrape up enough money for your next jolt of enthusiasm.

 

Enthusiasts are a dime a dozen. And all that enthusiasm will burn you out if you don't learn to control it.
