Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...
I only made it through the first three pages, so I may be repeating, but some things just need to be said.
-You no longer talk about a BAC (Blood Alchohol Content) but instead your BCC (Blood Caffeine Content) -You have dumped a non-FIRSTer because they just did not understand -The robot can be described as sexy -You have a friend to whom you tried to point out an attractive individual and instead they looked at a gear ratio in that attractive individuals vicinity -You start calling your head engineer "Dad" on accident -You have a designated "nap area" in your machine shop -You add to this list instead of researching for a history paper (not that I know this from VERY RECENT experience ::cough:: ) -You understand everything said on this forum -You can look at a set of numbers and understand why they are funny -As soon as someone mentions something which is even remotely related to robotics you are there -People tried to vote you "Most Robotics Oriented" in your high school yearbook -You follow my quote that "FIRST is not a hobby, it is a lifestyle!" -After dumping that non-FIRSTer...you cannot remember ever dating anyone who was not from FIRST -Online you have added T#(team number) to the end of A/S/L/P (age/sex/location/picture) just in case |

-ok first of all NO i dont describe the robot as sexy.. but all the guys do... -"nap area"? WE WISH!!! -history paper? what history paper? i dont have a history paper do i? ooooo shoot........ :ahh: -well where do you think the 1351 came from? and some more: -when you turn in the robot schematics you were doing during math class in instead of the hw -when all of your friends are FIRSTers... whether this is because you made them all join, or because you dont associate with anyone else, we wont say... -when you wouldnt even consider dating a nonFIRSTer -when you've officially been the first girl at school because you had to stay past midnight :yikes: <edit> -you know ur addicted to FIRST when in order to figure out how many days til xmas, you subtract 13 from however many days are left til kickoff instead of subtracting todays date from 25. </edit> :D ~Stephanie |
Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...
Actually did accidentaly turn in IR sensor trig in instead of my trig hw last year.
Yeah, I subtract 13 days. Makes more sense, don't it? ... when you skimp on the physics hw you should be doing now to post this (then on to check the rest of your subscribed threads, and the latest Unofficial Caption Contest) ... when the only people you really know include your second family, the team, and your family is just the people you spend parts of your weekend with :o . <edit> dave lavery was the latest poster on UCC #22 </edit> |
Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...
-When your car fails, you say, "darn program"
-You start to call people by their CD IDs instead of their names -You stop studying for finals afer january 8 -Extreme case: You stop doing homework after january 8 -You havent eaten at home in 6 weeks -You refer to games, and any other computer application as "the software" - You start finding Achronyms for everything in your life -Instead of calling your FIRST significant other, you PM them -You keep random peices of metal, claiming "this was part of the robot of '03 -You draw schematics for fun - When people sing "hail to the victors" you start thinking (speed controillers)" |

-if someone asks you when new years is, istead of saying, "a week after christmas" you say, "a week before kickoff" -you read this whole thread |

Then, of course, I would skip school entirely the week I got all of that work to get it all done and skip school the next seven weeks to work on the robot. ... when you learn physics and calulus so that you can calculate the exact arc of a projectile for a hang idea, even though nationals has come and gone :rolleyes: . |
Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...
You actually read THIS WHOLE THREAD and NONE of your posts have started with the comment, "I don't know if this has been said before, but..."
