Re: pic: An overworked mentor...sorry Greg-:p

Wow, I remember what it was like to feel that way. My first year as a FIRST mentor, I had pulled an all nighter the day before we were supposed to elave for competition because of how much school work I had for college. The problem was the night before I had only gotten 2 horus of sleep because I was also doing more work so I could take time away. The team I mentor is from a residential school where the students are not allowed to have cars, so I was one of the drivers (fortunately I drove only myself as everybody else fit in the minibus). So 3 hours later we get to the competition. We start setting up and when it is time for our first practice match we realize we have left the controllers at school. Given I was the most youthful of the mentors (and had the heaviest foot) I got to drive back 3 hours to get them and then tried to rush back in time for our last match, only to find out my rushing was in vane because my watch battery was dying and it was 2 hours later than I thought. I ended up passing out the minute we got to the hotel and still have no clue what fun and exciting things happened that night while I was dead to the world.
