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

(should've posted this awhile ago)

When you are at BMR, on Saturday, your team is doing great, and you have to leave to get back to Indianapolis for a winter guard competition. You put off leaving so long, that by the time you get back to the school, the guard is on the bus, and the bus is waiting for you.

And on the way to the guard competition, you are wearing your guard shirt under your Cyber Blue jersey, along with your guard warmups.

And then, you don't perform as well in the guard competition since you missed practices all week for the BMR.

And after the guard competition (which happened to be state prelims), you get on the bus and frantically call one of your team leaders, to find out how the team did. (Wearing your jersey again, and this time you ditched the warmups.)

And then, you find out how well you did, and start jumping up and down on the bus and make everyone mad (except for the one guy on tarp crew who used to be in robotics).

When asked by the guard captain, "What, you like robotics more than guard?"
You boldy say, "Yes," and everyone ignores you and your excitement the whole way home.

And even though your team did great you are still disappointed that you had to go to the guard competition and miss out on all the excitement and fun.

And finally, you meet your team back at the school, because you feel the need to compensate for your absence by just being there (and helping them unload).

YEP, I OVERDOSED ON FIRST; GOOD THING THERE ARE NO NEGATIVE EFFECTS.
