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

-You somehow skip lunch while working on the robot at a regional, and don't realize until dinner. You're not even hungry
-You don't realize that the awards ceremony has started until someone yells "1189 just won imagery". You drop your wrenches, run/walk out of the pits, and enter the arena as the last mentor gives the first judge a high-five, so you run out onto the field, safety glasses, greasy hands, and all.
-Your ankle, which was already screwed up prior to kickoff, is now incredibly sore from doing the Cotton-Eye Joe twice in one day.
-You don't realize what effect that green Safety Captain badge (and the neon-yellow Safety Captain vest, for those of you who saw it at GLR ) has had on you until you start yelling at your brothers for comitting safety violations.
-You got home from the regional over an hour ago, and you're still wearing everything that you wore to the competition--including your safety glasses, face paint, and SC badge.
-You feel like you're still wearing your safety glasses, even though you took them off 3 hours ago
-You talk about gracious professionalism for a few minutes while eating dinner at Subway--yet, the beginning of the conversation was spurred by a straw wrapper.
-You've lost the ability to speak quietly after yelling "ROBOT COMING THROUGH! ROOOOOBOTTTTT!," and yelling over the sounds of drilling and hammering for who knows how many hours
-You didn't lose your voice until after the competition
