You know you are overdosed on FIRST when you spend your Art of the Essay class doing three things simultaneously

1) Writing your in-class essay on something in your life that has inspired you (Guess what I'm writing about....)

2)Surfing Chief Delphi

3) Writing WFA and Chairman's and putting them into firstawards.org

...when you consider skipping your ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE/birthday present of seeing the SPICE GIRLS! to stay even later after school and work on the robot.

(Don't worry, I decided against it. I'm still spicin' up my life tonight. Yay! :))

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...
 

1) When you come to school as a teacher when you are so sick you can barely breathe or think just so your team can open the closet after school and work on the robot

2) when you consider celebrating valentines day on the night of 15th with your GF just so you're team can get more time to build on the 14th.

3) When you have paul Klobergs Phone number in your cell phone

4) When you surf Cheif Delphi and respond to these posts....

our teacher did all of that except the come to school part. we almost took out the bolt cutters from the tool closet and cut the lock on the parts cabinet, luckily the teacher next door had a key to the cabinet, or else we would have cut it open!
