I think this is normal (and so do a couple other people on the team-we all still have them on)

During gym our teacher told us we had to do curlups in time with a CD (don't ask) and the first thing I thought of was Chief Delfi-then she told us that inorder to get an A we had to do 47 curlups.

...you agree with ambie07 on everything she said (not that i wouldnt agree with her on anything )...
...you realize that you are back in hawaii where the weather is just a bit warmer and you have to wear only one jacket if its raining...
...you cant wait till the botball trip because thats when your group will get to go on another trip together...
...you know that the person with all the buttons on his hat is still waiting for i t to come back because our luggage got lost (he says its the only thing that cannot be replaced in his bag)...
...you are typing on this fourum even though youve only gotten a total of 5 hours of sleep and youve had all day to sleep...
...you fought with your mother, insisting that you had to go to school (allthoguh i never did end up going)...
...you think back on your experience and you cant beleive that it was aroung 8 weeks ago that you were standing in the classroom watching kickoff...
and i think thats it so far

Your orchestra director claims that she hates robotics, but later takes it back, claiming that you'll support the arts later in life.

Your school basically bans every website and you personally go to the IT and get him to unblock ChiefDelphi and then spend your class time pouring over the threads because its the only website that works

You keep imagining people in team shirts that you know but you blink and realize that the shirt has no numbers on it and get depressed.

Your friends are sick off you bursting out in class "awww I miss them!!!" because you always talk about your FIRST friends.

You know you've overdosed on FIRST:

-When the only reason you wake up every morning and go to school is to talk with your friends about what you'll do when you get to start working after school.
Or
-When the season is over and the only thing you can think of talking about with your friends is about FIRST.

You know your friends overdosed when they are the one's to start talking to you about FIRST and you join them(then you know you are too).

It happens to us in our team almost all the time.

Or you laugh because they actually jump out of the way afraid for their lives like "what the...??!!"

(should've posted this awhile ago)

When you are at BMR, on Saturday, your team is doing great, and you have to leave to get back to Indianapolis for a winter guard competition. You put off leaving so long, that by the time you get back to the school, the guard is on the bus, and the bus is waiting for you.

And on the way to the guard competition, you are wearing your guard shirt under your Cyber Blue jersey, along with your guard warmups.

And then, you don't perform as well in the guard competition since you missed practices all week for the BMR.

And after the guard competition (which happened to be state prelims), you get on the bus and frantically call one of your team leaders, to find out how the team did. (Wearing your jersey again, and this time you ditched the warmups.)

And then, you find out how well you did, and start jumping up and down on the bus and make everyone mad (except for the one guy on tarp crew who used to be in robotics).

When asked by the guard captain, "What, you like robotics more than guard?"
You boldy say, "Yes," and everyone ignores you and your excitement the whole way home.

And even though your team did great you are still disappointed that you had to go to the guard competition and miss out on all the excitement and fun.

And finally, you meet your team back at the school, because you feel the need to compensate for your absence by just being there (and helping them unload).

YEP, I OVERDOSED ON FIRST; GOOD THING THERE ARE NO NEGATIVE EFFECTS.

- when your at work and instead of working you go through and read 350 of the 500+ relies to this post instead of doing what you’re being paid to do *cough*cough*
- when your homepage is Chief Delphi and you spend and hour looking through it before moving on to what you really got on the internet for
- when you wish everyday there was only two weeks in between Championship and Kickoff again
- when you keep writing on a sorta pointless thread just because it is on Chief Delphi
- when in the middle of championship eliminations (go Curie!!) and you call home (using someone else’s cell phone) to your little brother who has faithfully been watching and say "ha ha you’re not here!"
- when the most used program on your computer is Inventor
- when you look at your internet history and see that the last 8 weeks of internet sites are all FIRST related
- when your having trouble not thinking of ways that you're overdosed on FIRST
- when this is only your first year on the team and this is happening

when you arrive at Home Depot and suddenly realize that you are buying things for your HOME, and not a ROBOT, and it seems kinda strange...

In my english class, I was working on an essay with a team member...I was trying to think of how to write it, and i was trying to say 'i'm racking my brain...'

It came out as "I'm rack n' rol-- oh god.'

-Every time you stand up, you check your pockets for your hotel key
-Every time you hear the word "unsafe," you pull your safety glasses out of your back pocket and put them on

-Every time you have to do something hard, you think of a way to create a robot to do it for you (i.e. making your bed)
