I can TOTALLY relate to that... One of our mentors is constantly telling us to check Chief Delphi for blah blah blah.... The scary thing is, I actually checked once and now I'm hooked... But that's not necessarily a BAD thing..

Your Chief Delphi handle becomes your License Plate:

when you paint your nails red with a blue stripe down the middle and then have SWAT 771 written in yellow and you cannot wait to go to school to show everyone what you did instead of your physics lab because you cannot get your mind off of kickoff ...

...when driving to a FIRST meeting, you pass a road sign that says "FIRST." then, turn around at the next intersection, drive back, take a picture of the sign with your camera phone, turn around again, and end up STILL being early for your meeting.

When you're sitting in class browsing CD instead of writing the 1500 word research paper that's due on Monday...

I just figure, I'm researching FIRST. How difficult can it be???

[Lisa Perez]

When you're just driving about, and keep applying physics formulas you learned in FIRST to everything about your car..

[Steve Horn]

When you have two pairs of safety glasses and a roll of duct tape in your room.

When you paint your nails red, white and blue especially for kickoff. (Although it WAS Dori's idea.)

Peciv, I'm going to try and get a shot with my DIGITAL camera so I don't have to spend the money to email the photo to myself. Mostly because I'm a poor college student, plus the quality of the picture on my camera isn't that good.

....when you skip out of work 4 and a half hours early just to talk to your co-mentor about strategy, without high school students.

You know your addicted to FIRST when:

You steal your cousins "Wacky Wigglers" Gear block set and play with it when your bored because it's in the shape of gears.

When you give someone a 10 minute lecture on what a prototype is when they ask, "What's a prototype?"

You jump up in the middle of a lecture in chem yelling, "Eureka" because you finally found an idea that would work.

You have actually READ this far into this thread

You make "You know your addicted to FIRST when..." lists in english when you should be doing an in-class essay.
