Yang Long Form

So, I finally managed to remember the name of the form we do in Tai Chi in the time between class ending and me getting home.  Success!  Apparently, we do the Yang Long Form, which is 103 "postures" long.  I think I've only gone through step 35 or so in class, but I have only gone for a year.  Here are the 103 postures (from the Wiki article):
