wait a min, wait a min, wait A MIN!
 

you mean girls are sapposed to get dressed up to impress GUYS?!

omlord! that explains so much!!!

okok, i'm not that dence.....

but as far as i'm concerned,
if i walk out of the hotel room with my buttons done the right way
and the ability to look into the mirror w/o laughing too much
or freaking out - i'm set.

taking some more time to do some more stuff like
comb my hair is an effert i don't even take during school time - i have curly hair, it does what it wants

and for the hair thing, remember, teams give out those bandanas... hehe, those rock for hair too, esp. when you have to
give your hair tie up for robotix reasons.....

but yes, i too ( and i think most of the girls on our team) get ready faster than the guys:confused:

hmmmm
 

as you can tell from my profile photo, i didn't have time to wax my chin before VCU last year, and this didn't go over too well for my overall cuteness, i also left my glitter at home. i was also lacking my vanity mirror and i hadn't showered in so long i turned green. it's that whole getting up early thing that threw me off... j/k but i don't really agree about not liking chicks when the first get up, cause i've been out enough and i don't think it makes a big difference... i haven't seen some of you... j/k but i can't imagine that it's that bad.

alright I know most girls aren't always up to this...but the girls on our team wake up at 4am to start getting ready for competition we know we dont have to, but we like to get all done up! there's nothin wrong with that but we always wear our hair in ponytails! it gets too hot!

I think I look just fine when I wake up in the morning. :D

:D :D :D
yep, me and my 'fro

Beautiful. :p

yes yes
 

no impressing, just a ponytail, a team shirt, pants/shorts, a loud vioce, im out there! hahaha

My team found that skirts + scouting = good. Sometimes it pays to have the happy lil girl all cute when she's helping with the scouting. I was always first rdy in my room (girl's room) at the GLR. We all did any drying of hair the nite b4 and only did quick styles in the morning. We managed to survive getting up at 6. I donno, I do my normal gothic-esque eyes and throw on a lil chap stick and run out the door after throwing on clothes and such. Tip: Lipstick can be done in cars... If you practice.
Good Luck!

haha
 

skirts...only with shorts underneath.. all those runngin aroudn and bending over protection is needed!

Re: haha
 

I agree. The whole skirt thing just doesn't happen with some of us. I can't even wear my favorite jeans to competition, because they are low-rise, and they definately fall when I kneel down. I'm sure everyone wants an eyeful of my behind... :ahh:

Re: Re: haha
 

aaaahhaha aaahahah aahaha!
i'm sorry, but that's so true,
i mean, the fact that it won't be a good idea,
it just brings back memories....

That's why I say, dress comfortably
and if you must dress up, long skirts that you can move in - rock
short skirts cause problems when you gotta sit on the floor w/
a bunch of guys...:eek:
I had a lil black skirt last year, and i refused to wear it to nats
(but I had to wear it that nite for something we were going out for)
and so i borrowed a pair of shorts from one of my team mates!
we love it b/c now i can say that i've been in his pants/shorts
and not be lying :yikes:

5!?!?! That blows my mind why (or moreso HOW) you do that.

I am lucky to be awake by 7:30 when I have to be at the Comp by 8:00. (10 mins for shower + brushing my teeth, 5 to get dressed and out of the hotel room, 15 for driving from the hotel to the comp)

My roomates said that I take forever in the bathroom in the morning. I never wear makeup, so I don't really understand what takes me so long. All I do is wash my face, put in my contacts, brush my teeth, and do my hair.

I'm neurotic about my hair, though. My hair will change multiple times throughout the day.

Wow, I'd never wear a skirt to a competition.. that would be so uncomftrable/risky, lol.

skirts? AHH!!!
