I would spend all of winter break sleeping so I can go the next 6 weeks without it.

Or like sleep a month and stay awake for the rest of the year.

Israel gets their kickoff at 5 PM. I'd hate to have to wait that late in the day to find out the game.

In general, people spend 1/3 of their lives asleep, so you would probably have to sleep at least half as long as you were planning on staying awake.

I guess I'll scratch that idea then.

3 days is far too long.

Re: Countdown to Build Season!

1 day, 1 hour and 19 minutes until kickoff starts. This game is looking to be amazing. I am so excited.

On a separate note. I remembered a commercial from the 2005 Super Bowl that I thought was fairly appropriate for today: "Tomorrow we are all undefeated".

Yea well, I wish that was the biggest disatvantage of beeing an Israeli FRC memeber.
I have already cahnged my bio-clocl, so now its set just like yours...
Actually, CD has helped me oput with that, cause i have to be awake when u guys are active, and thats a propper time there, here it's usually 3 am -11 am =]
It's also great cause there is no one disturbing me...
And...im already set to having no jet-lag when i come to the championship WOOT!

One little disturbance called millitary though might ruin it...getting recruited for 3 weeks on Jan 10th...gonna think of FRC the whole time...

Trust me, you'll learn that trick when you hit college finals... Starbucks!

I can't decide if I'm excited or not for build to start. So much fun, but so much time not spent studying! Oh well, easy classes this semester!

I've always suspected that one could find glimpses of wisdom, setting priorities, and responsibility - and ways to balance them, in the contents of a coffee cup. I think you've just proven my theory, Ms. Sweet.

You'll catch the wave, not to worry.

Re: Countdown to Build Season!

you know I had an idea from my last mech physics class.

matter warps time yes,
time is warped more the closer you are to that object.
time is warped "slower" when you are near an object with mass(you get close to a black hole people will see you going slower while you see them going faster)

so if you lay down, as close as you can to the earth for the next week. you might just shave off a few nano secs off of your wait vs some one whose standing maybe more if your in a particularly dense area on the earth.

(ohh and dont say dig a hole cause newtons shell therom will just mess you up)
