...for the first time this season your team doesn't have a meeting after competition and it throws you completely off balance (Not that you don't need the time to do that homework that you didn't do over the weekend that's do on Monday)

...due to said unbalance you are awake even though you still could be sleeping for another hour and half before work.

...you imagine your homework in your mind but the image is fuzzy as you think about all the things that happened at competition.

...the words "Learning experience" begin to mean so much to you.

...you pray that at Nationals you have less learning experiences and more wins. You say this to someone whose not on your team and they blink at you like your crazy since they don't understand.

...being surrounded by 30 crazy guys in lime green isn't that bad anymore. It's actually sort of normal.

...if it wasn't for the great inventition of internet and email...you'd never talk to half of your friends since you're always at robotics and busy.

...you wish your parents were more computer literate so you could just email them what's going on like the rest of your friends.

...you've memorized atleast one or two of your adult mentors lisence plates numbers just because you've had to follow them places so often because you get lost easily.

...you purposely try and park at your team number when driving to competitions and parking in a parking garage. It comes in handy when trying to remember where you parked.

...crossing bridges becomes fun since you crossed atleast two trying to get home from the philly regional and you only needed to cross one (Did I say I get lost easily?) and then had to call a mentor to unlose you. The sad thing...they actually expected you to. Eep.
