Championship Aftermath

Two nights ago the championship was decided. Galatasaray is on top of the league after beating Fenerbaçe at the stadium near my house. Sleep was impossible, football is the most important thing here and the hometown was engaged in an all night celebration/riot, fireworks and everything. The next day at school tensions were high, there are very loud supporters for both sides and one of the workers in the cafe started playing bedlam-inducing Galatasaray victory music. But today the jerseys are off and people have larger problems over which to worry, like final exams.
