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

You come home during build season at 10pm to study for an exam the next day and your parents say "you're home early". Or you come home one day during build season and your parents say "oh your home"

The first one happened to me. The seacond one happened to another team member.

Or when your nonrobotics friends ask you if you even know what school is anymore.

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

your college graduation gift is a trip to nationals (I may miss my graduation ceremony, not that I'll be too torn up over that)

You have FIRST Sims.

Buying you a birthday gift is easy, just find something with a robot on it and/or in your team colors.

The only thing you can think about is, "Is the scouting system working?"

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

You start thinking about getting your dog a FIRST bandanna to wear and wondering how you could get them involved. Then start thinking about the possibility of bringing her to World. She could meet Libby's dog Cooper if there was a FIRST dog venue. This year the dogs could have caught robot thrown frisbees!
