Things I've already given up: (yes I'm that crazy I have to sacrafice even before build-season)
*My Senior Varsity soccer season... I made the team but the games were on Tuesday nights when my FIRST-Steering Committee meetings are
*My monday, tues, and friday nights and one saturday a month, for team things.
*Trying to get a job.... yeh thats pretty hard to do when you say, I can only work till January then I need 6 wks off...
Things I will give up:
*Almost every snowboarding opportunity
*ODP soccer (Olympic Development Program)
*Winter Track
*Lacrosse
*My non-FIRST friends...
*Any chance of ever gettign a date (not that I had one to begin with
)
*Sleep
*Sanity
*Good ol' Quality Family Time... darn...
*Any life outside of ~FIRSTland~ at BAE
*Not drinking caffiene or soda in general... yeh that never lasts during the season, my precious OJ isn't as easy to come by
*Lookign normal... my hair just randomly begins to change colors during FIRST...
But you know what, oddly i don't really mind all I've given up for my team.. their is just something in this program that makes it all worth it, be it the friends you make or the fact you see this big hunk of metal and after 6 wks its a peice of artwork in your eyes, or the excitement of the competition, or the amazing animation you made, its strangely satisfying and keeps you comign back each year, more excited then before!
