You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

[Jonathan M.]

...when you have three days of standerdized testing, and the start times for each of the three days is 8:45, by coninsidence, and this has more of your attention more then the test.

(845 = my team number... d'uh)

When you stare at the clock for nearly five minutes so you won't miss that special time of the day...That one minute when the time contains the same numbers as your team number...

8:10...8:11...8:12...8:13...


8:14!!!!

Your sister is getting married, and planning to do it in either January or spring, and you tell her not January because that's build season, and for spring, wait until the schedule of FIRST events is released for 2004.

... when people around you start hearing the word robot in situations where that is the farthest from what actually was said you could POSSBILY be

When in every school project you somehow manage a way to incorporate FIRST.

Also, when you're sitting in pre-calc class and you look up at the clock and see the time 1:11 almost everyday and think "oh yes, Wildstang", or when you get out of school and hope to see 2:34 on the clock.

...when all of your free-choice school themes (essays) happen to have also been newspaper articles and press releases you originally typed for your team.

When you get excited when you get $2.01 in change at Caribou (happened to me today).

I'd love to see that on our school clocks because we normally get out of school at 3:10!!

When you're mom "requests" that you don't wear your team shirt for your school picture (more like "you better not wear that shirt or I'll burn the pics") and you're angry for the rest of the evening.
