you know its off season because...
...you miss build period so much, you go into the lab, trying to find something to build! (or program, wire, etc)
...the lab is actually somewhat slightly organized, rather than the usual chaos
...you actually went somewhere w/ friends besides robotics
...you accidentally said "Cyu tomorrow" on Friday, thinking there was robotics tomorrow - and there wasn't

• You have money to go and buy the tools that you wanted
• You get e-mails that don't have to do with robotics

oh wow....
a) the dryer no longer has lock nuts and 1/4'' bolts and washers from your jeans rattling around in it
b) you actually begin taking notes in class again rather than doodling transmissions
c) your friends decide to have a party because they haven't actually seen you outside of class in about 3 months
d) you actually begin to go to bed sometime before 2 AM
e) you work on award stuff between homework assignments, not the other way around
f) your mother realizes her first-born is still alive; therefore, she rejoices
g) you eat things that don't come from boxes and bags or that you add hot water to...for that matter, you actually eat
