You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

[SL8]

I'm not overdosed, I'm not even addicted. I just choose to never, ever, ever leave FIRST.

Agreed. It will be a sad day if (not when) I ever run out of time for FIRST.

Is there such a thing as not having time for FIRST?

[Protronie]

I don't have a FIRST problem, I can quit anytime I want!

Just cause I've stayed glued to my lappy all day...
And just cause I threw a fit when the wifi went down...
And just cause I've spent over an hour reading every new post here don't mean a thing.

I can quit anytime I want!

Okay so I'm back but that don't mean I'm a FIRST junkie or overdosed
on it, or can't quit...
Just that I choose not to.

When you quote yourself in a post about yourself in a post directly after the post you just made about not being addicted to FIRST(sorry Protronie, but that's addiction. they also have 12 step programs for that. cold turkey works too.)

--four members of your team can stay up till 4 a.m. reading cd

[BlondeNerd]

when people ask you what you want for your birthday, all you say is "For my team to be in Atlanta on that day!"

.... you are at the airport waiting to go home, and you think the flight attendant said "division 3 robots please load". (but she was really calling for zone 3 rows to load [the plane]) LOL
.... you see a guys at the airport with a lot of luggage on a cart and you immediately call out "robot coming through!" in a VERY load voice
.... you blame the freshmen for impeding you from your luggage
.... you call a penalty on some random person for not moving their car when your dad is trying to pick you up from the airport.... and then you tell him "red alliance has won the match on a account of a penalty by the blue alliance" once you get in the car
.... he actually knows what you meant by that
.... at the social you called 4 penalties on other people at the food tables ( I only did it once)
.... you miss the feeling of your safety goggles
.... you have over 30 FIRST shirts .... and could go an entire month without having to wash shirts.... and still have some left over
.... you suitcase was overweight because of all the other shirts you got there
.... you are surprised that the freshmen didnt set off the metal detector from all the pins on his bag
.... you were up at 11 at night at the hotel, on chief delphi
.... you are at school now, on chief delphi, when you could be very well sleeping.

--You don't know what to do now that the championship event is over

[Sila741]

When you skip study hall to go to the computer lab and browse CD just so that you can try and avoid the inevitable depression of the knowladge that season is over.
When your bag is delayed coming back from champs because you packed your button cloak
When random numbers and phrases cause your mind to spit out data and names of teams.

That closet on the floors of the Marriot Marquis labeled with "FDC" in red letters continues to stop me each year. This year, I got to thinking whether the "intermediate" program had changed it's initials again.

You don't reckon I'm overdosing do you?
Is there a cure for FIRST?

More FIRST. You'll never get over it, it's what they call a "vicious cycle." A really fun, really awesome, life-changing kind of vicious cycle.

[Renee Becker-Blau]

Why would we even create a 12 step cycle??

You miss 3 of your classes to watch the Championship.

You stay late after school just to watch your favorite team play. (Katie!! I would have given you a ride home! )

Yes, definitly overdosing, but in a good way. There is no cure from FIRST, its a lifelong addiction. I was just letting you know in case you had missed that glaring and quite obvious fact.


You know you've overdosed on First when you recive informatioin about an advaned junior/senior high school and the only thing that makes you read the information is the fact that it has a "robotics club"
...when your friends tell you to shut up about the robotics fundraisers you're setting up.
....when your favorite teacher agrees to be taped to the wall for you, because she knows how much you love robotics.
