I'VE FINALLY GOT A GOOD, AND MEANINGFUL RECORD. I'm happier about this than I thought I would be. Well, when the CoC comes around you will have to set your sights on 377, get more than that and you'll have the most points ever (if Conor's 2364 is actually the current highest) so it's not over yet!!
