I'm giving up money (from working) and music. Luckily, I've convinced my girlfriend to join our FIRST team. :D

I've given up:
~ Being with family in their time of need (fire at my house, lost our mother)
~ 5 dates
~ Drama practice
~ Hugging/being close to my boyfriend
~ Duct tape (don't ask)
~ Homework time
~ After school tests I have to make up
~ Science fair

that's about it...AND NO!! I DIDN'T LOSE SLEEP!! I don't sleep to begin with =^.^=

I'm getting the feeling I'm gonna be losing sleep....And definitely I've already been giving up time for working. Less money. Good thing I've saved SOME up. Thankfully my girlfriend's on the team, so no worries there. Unfortunately, I'm definitely going to be struggling to keep my homework up to scratch. Not to mention my (partially nonexistant) social life is going to get bruised a bit.

MY SANITY, sleep, my soul (It's in a jar at Dean's house, but i gave it to him) and my social life =P. My best friend hates this time of year cause i never get to hang out with her.

I love how so many guys are saying they lost their girlfriends.

A semi-comforting thought, I guess:

If they don't support FIRST, what kind of girlfriend are they?
and if you don't try to get them into it, what kind of boyfriend are you? (only kidding.)

I give up a lot for FIRST, mostly sleep and sanity, but it's all completely and totally worth it.

I gave up football and a chance to be ignorant the remainder of my hs career....so ive gained more than loss

i know i have given up a girlfriend (i have a new one and it is my robot)and baseball just for FIRST. just wondering what have you given up?

i have given up alot too, as in all of my free time to do anything. i have swim team in the morning so i have to go to bed at like 8/9 on days we work later, making it so that all of my time not spent at school or swimming is spent working on our bot.
