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

...when your parents ask after build season if they need to cook food again.

...when you realize that macaroni and cheese and bratwursts are essential food groups, and Dr. Pepper has more caffeine than Mountain Dew.

...when you can't wait for the next regional to see if you can finish your button-mail armor.

...when you keep playing "One Day More" from Les Miserables the last week of build season.

...when the people around you start saying, "We know you're a nerd! You can stop playing 'The Cantina Band' already!"

...when said people say the same thing about the Badger Song.

...when Magic, the Gathering gets into Robotics. (For those who know...Coalition Victory. Look it up.)

...when you can name something "Sexy Lexy," and get away with it. (Lexan.)

...when you start passing notes in class written in C++.

...when you ask someone for an Allen wrench, and they always hand you the one you want. (5/16ths. Every time.)

...when a band director will retract a comment against the robotics team for fear of starting a revolt.

...when summer vacation is not considered a welcome relief, but nerve wracking as one waits to check on the robotics room.

...when noobs are a good thing for next year's team, as we are losing half of it, including me, to aging out- sorry, graduation. (Where did I pull that drum corps reference?)

...when Legos suddenly become cool again as a senior in high school.

...when your school is hosting Band and Orchestra Festival the weekend of the GLR, and you split the difference between them.

To be continued...
