You definitely know you've overdosed on first when you wash the aluminum shavings off your hands AFTER you eat dinner.

Or you just don't wash the aluminum shavings off your hands at all. They'll be covered in aluminum shavings again in 10 minutes anyway.

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

I think MIT has been overdosing on FIRST today. I was handing out our class of 2012 sweatshirts at an event today, and I had CD open on my laptop. Someone waiting for their sweatshirt walks up, goes "SWEET, Chief Delphi, anything new?", and proceeds to open up a few threads. Then, while I was walking down my hall in my dorm, I passed a group of people discussing the merits of shooters vs. dumpers and what will be more effective in the 2009 game. I love MIT. (:

When you plan on stapling your extra-curricular activities (most of which begin with a capitol F) in front of the page with your GPA on your application to MIT for a couple of reasons: 1: To impress the people who read it and 2: in hopes that the printer runs out of ink before it gets to the GPA page.

Put in a good word for me?

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

when you leave your home (the place where your family lives) and say goodbye, I'm going home (referring to school cause of robotics) without really realizing that you just did that.

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

...when you're having a WWI lesson about the different alliances and everytime the teacher mentions "alliance" you automatically think "alliance?!"

...when the teacher asks "What's an alliance?" and you think in your head, "a set of 3 FRC teams that work together during a match...."

Same here! I will always wait for 6:92... which will also never come...

so instead I stopped the stopwatch feature on my watch to exactly 6.92 seconds! (and refuse to use it to time anything because I don't want to mess it up!)
