You know it's the off-season when...

[Amanda Morrison]

...when your old habits of getting on CD (first thing when you wake up, between classes, after classes, and three times in the evening - once before bed) are broken because you've already replied to everything you'd want to talk about.

...when your parents, coworkers, siblings, and friends all tell you that they've heard enough about IRI... so you go talk to a FIRST friend about it because you know they'll understand your enthusiasm.

...when threads like these start popping up because some FIRSTers don't know how to handle the off-season.
