when you actually pay attention in school (not after today though :D)
when you can look at the gas mailage and wonder why its taking so long for it to go up since there is no longer robotics meeting
When you go find something else to do...
...like go outside and witness that the sun actually does exist.

... when your focus has shifted from your team to starting a new team(s) around the area.
... when you have been trying for a month to recruit your engineers to go to IRI.
... when you can't wait 'til IRI! :D

...when your old habits of getting on CD (first thing when you wake up, between classes, after classes, and three times in the evening - once before bed) are broken because you've already replied to everything you'd want to talk about.
...when your parents, coworkers, siblings, and friends all tell you that they've heard enough about IRI... so you go talk to a FIRST friend about it because you know they'll understand your enthusiasm.
...when threads like these start popping up because some FIRSTers don't know how to handle the off-season. :p

...when you get excited because 12 people actually replied to this post
...when you can actually read everything on CD instead of just skimming
...when you refresh the "new posts" search page repeatedly, hoping someone will post something for you to read

...when you get really, really bored EVERY day because you don't have anything to do after school anymore but go on CD :P...
....when you are no longer suffering from sleep deprivation(staying at the autoshop from 8 am until 2 am of the nest day for days on end during the build season, and before and during comps)
.....when you actuly skip robotics meetings for "other" things!
.....when CD just doesn't satisfy your needs anymore. :yikes:
.....um when the above sentence just typed itself. :confused:

...when for some reason, you don't know why, you just don't feel like being on CD as much as you used to and you end up spending that time on things that you did before you joined robotics. Ex. Computer/Video Games. (Yup, that's me alright.)

... when your friends actualy notice that your hanging out with them again.
... when you can stay out till 4 in the morning on the weekends cuz your not to tired from a robotics event or your not required to wake up early and goto robotics.
... You actualy have money because you have time to goto work.
... You discuss IRI with everyone involved on a regular basis.
... You realize you cant drive the robot anymore and get extremely despressed for awhile.
... You realize how much you got behind in school and spend alot of time making up papers that you slacked off on.
... You realize school is almost over.
