Re: Is there anyone excited for tomorrow??:)

I swear SCHOOL goes by faster than the time it takes waiting for kickoff...

I had an easier time sleeping on Christmas eve...

I'm spending my time visiting every single page on the internet. So far I'm up to aaaaaaaaaabx.com

Its a difficult challenge, but someone must do it.

Re: Is there anyone excited for tomorrow??:)

I can't sleep either its 2 in the morning PST and I need to get up in 4 hours for the webstream and the worst part is my Internet connection is out so here I am on the iPhone with surprisingly fast edge speeds compared to what I get in the day. Alright wish me luck as I attempt to sleep for the 20th time.

Re: Is there anyone excited for tomorrow??:)

Bomber-Dude, you are my new best friend.

Just kidding.

Maybe.

In about 15 minutes, I stop pretending I'm asleep, and get ready to get ready to go to the train to go to the place where I'll wait some more to wait for them to announce that they're going to announce the stuff and then I'll have to wait even more while they talk about things I'll probably sleep through and end up missing kickoff becuase of all this waiting!

The flow of time before kickoff can be expressed as f(x)=1/x, where x is the amount of time in minutes after 24 hours before kickoff, and f(x) is the amount of time that passes relative to one normal minute. As the day before kickoff continues, and x increases, f(x) decreases, but has a limit as f(x) approaches infinity, of zero, so that while time never stops, 25 hours and 59 minutes after the day before kickoff begins, the ratio of real time to percieved time is 1:7.5*10^-4.

That was fifteen minutes well spent.

Re: Is there anyone excited for tomorrow??:)

Your sig makes me laugh. And forget words. My brain feels... Dead...

Okay, goodbye internet and internet people! I am off to do those things I mentioned... As soon as I put "Hardware Store" on my phone.

Its weird, though. I mean, what happens in the next few hours will completely dictate the focus of our interest for the next few months. Huh.

Alright. Good luck everybody!

Re: Is there anyone excited for tomorrow??:)

Im pretty excited on behalf of myself and my team...about 3-4 months ago, our coach didn't even think we would be capable of competing in the 08 season, and about 7-8 months ago, FIRST didn't even exist in any of our lives
here we are, 2 months after brunswick eruption, ready to embark on our own journey...
team 2554 is attending the NJ kikcoff at NJIT

Re: Is there anyone excited for tomorrow??:)

Only 2 and a half hours to kickoff.

Last night I had a dream about skating robots, and pushing boxes, so... crossing my fingers for that.

Re: Is there anyone excited for tomorrow??:)

I had a dream too!
I dreamed about a rectangular shape in the middle of the field with 3 ramps on each side, each the size of a single robot....

I guess they wouldn't do that though because of the risk of falling...

you guys got it easy! it's 10 am for you so you only get up 5 hours before if your really excited...

by the time the kickoff will start Ive been up for 12 hours!!!! my heart beat is in the Khz range!!!

Yes, it is true, I woke up early just to post in this thread. I went to bed and saw it before I shut my laptop...it kept me up for another hour just thinking of the robo goodness.

10 am....I wish....its 4:30 over here right now......
