We may not be in Atlanta...

[Alivia]

I'm sitting in the student center at Ball State University, watching the practice matches, and realized that there are probably a bunch of other people in my same position...wishing that we could be in Atlanta right now!

So, I decided to start a thread for all of us, who--while not at the Championship--are still super psyched about it! A place where we can talk about how much we wish we were there, why we aren't, and to just show our own spirit about FIRST.

I couldn't go because I have finals in two weeks and a whole bunch of work that I'd be missing if I went. And then there's that whole money issue. I'm a college kid, which usually means I don't have extra cash lying around. So even if I could go, I'd have no way of financing my travels.

Good luck to all teams! I'm going to be watching, cheering, dancing, and wearing my team shirt...even if I can't be with you there in person!
