FIRST Withdrawal?

So, I'm not sure how many of you know that I'm not participating on a FIRST team this year or not, but I'm not really sure if I'm going through withdrawals due to FIRST or not. I absolutely love having free time to do homework and dance and hang out with non-FIRST friends.

I stopped by the lab today. "Hey Kate, how's it feel to not be doing FIRST anymore? I've always wondered what it was like." To this I responded as saying that I was loving having the free time.

Then I get home from doing homework, and I start surfing the boards slightly. This is something I haven't done in quite some time. I'm not sure if I'm doing this because I miss it, or because I'm just that bored right now.

I do know that I'm going to miss being on a team at competitions. I'm trying to volunteer at a competition [or two], but I'm not sure if that will happen or not. And normally, I would go visit the UTC regional, but a dance competition has gotten in the way of that.

So I'm not sure what I'm really thinking or feeling right now. Is there anyone else that has recently stopped being a team member that is going through anything similar to what I am?
