It was right around when Disney started playing the closing video when I found I couldn't fight the tears back anymore. When I thought of how much FIRST has given me and has gotten me through in the past 4 years I got pretty emotional.

That whole night I saw the past 4 years flash by - and just how close I had come to not being able to see my friends for even just one day. Joe Ross was the last of the ones not on 168 (the team I stayed with) that I saw, and walking back to the hotel that night was really really tough.

As Joe J said, there didn't seem to be the feeling for me that next year was around the corner - but more like this season was far too short.

I'm not sure why it was like that this year -- perhaps b/c I am a senior and a lot of things are ending this year -- but I will be back next year -- so beware!
