My goal this year is to see if there is anyway I can make it to the top 100. Today I am ranked 119 with 767 verses. It sounds so close! But the person ranked #100 has 863 verses!
Well good for you Girl! We are always so proud of you. Ready for Christmas?
It was really hard. I ended up 88th. That was better than I thought I'd do, actually.
I think written went okay, but orals were not so good.
Thanks. Leaving after lunch!
I am praying for you and I hope you have a great time!
Yup, really soon! Registration on Wednesday...
That's a shame about the choir. The big day is coming up very soon!
Yup! We're looking forward to it. We're disappointed that there's no choir, though. There was last year and it was (at least in my opinion) the best part.
Well that makes sense and it will give you girls some special time together.
I know. Really nice! Mom, Miriam, and I are going to stay at the hotel. That way we only have to pay for one room. It's so close that Dad and the little kids (and Grandma and Pop) are going to drive back and forth.
You didn't. They're in Orlando. :) Really nice, only an hour to drive! They're holding it at a hotel in Downtown Disney.
Did I read that the finals are in Florida this year? Or maybe I made that up.
Yes, thank you, and definitely!
Ellie! No way!
You are amazing!
Glory to God!
Sounds like it was very challenging for sure!
Well, I got almost a fourth of the questions wrong. 43 to be exact. The test was HARD. Well, at first it was pretty easy, but then it got super hard.
I am sure you did awesome!
Yup, scores came out on Friday!
So did you do the testing? You should be hearing something soon yes?
But it's optional. You have to do it to qualify for Nationals though. I'm hoping, what with memorizing Jonah, that I'll be able to get in. But I am far from sure.
They're doing orals at the Local contest.
Did they have the event yet? How did it go?
Wow, that's an interesting approach. So how are they going to test you on the memory portion?
Good. I got all the verses memorized, but I'm kind of behind on Sword Study. I'm kind of annoyed about them getting rid of the Oral Round.
Hi Ellie, Joelle actually did do Bible be this year. How is it going for you?
Are you guys not doing Bible Bee verses on Scripture Typer?
Attempting to memorize Jonah. Chapter 2 is hard.
I bet it was. Hmm. I have no idea what day it was. Maybe it was yesterday. I was SO impatient! We opened it before breakfast.
lol...I just got it.... no worries. But I hope it was a gret day anyway. Whatever it was!
Oh dear, I don't know what day it was anymore. Oh well. One of the days I couldn't wait for is THIS day!
It's okay. Algebra is my favorite. You know what day I can NOT wait for?
Thanks!
I hope school is going well for you guys
Yay! James is long. I kind of know chapter 3.
I finished the book of James... woo hoo!
Well, because I'll get new ones and it'll mix me up to be keeping up with those as well as learning new ones for Bible Bee 2014.
do you have to delete them? Bummer! Why?
Well... I guess I'll have to delete them all in June. I'd still like to keep up though!
*sigh* My verses are zero.
Well, we always have you both in our hearts
Oh I see! Oh, and Miriam is hardly ever on.... That was, like, a month ago! And I will be gone from tomorrow to the 10th.
Hi Ellie, no I didn't mean that I was learning James for the Bible Bee. I just meant that James is that next book that I personally I going to try to memorize. Sorry for any confusion.
WElcome back Miriam!!! How are you!
How do you know it's James?
Ok, I'm excited. Going to start on the book of James for 2014!
Happy New year indeed!
You will get caught back up, I have confidence!
Happy New Year! We're going to a party but are NOT staying up till midnight.
Oh my picture is me at Nationals.
Well, I'm not. I have some every single day and I was behind because of Christmas. I never caught up but I'm working on it!
woo hoo, I am currently again. Whew
Wow, that's a lot! Thanks and Merry Christmas to you too.
Love you new profile Pic!
Tell Miriam I said Merry Christmas!!
Happy Birthday!!! and Merry Christmas!
Most of the verses that I mastered on here are not from the Bible Bee so they don't show up this area.
I have 275 memorized right now, but I have to catch up again on review. I have a feeling that's gonna take me through New Years
It's my birthday tomorrow! Yay!

Miriam did that. She insists I post.
I'm excited to be up to 256 versus currently. Who knows, someday maybe I'll catch up to Ellie! lol

I do notice that there seem to be some changes in the platform for the last couple of days. I wonder if they made an update to the site?
Help! Does anyone know what happened to ST? I reviewed a long passage and it says I have to be at 90 percent with no hints. It never did that to me before. I was at 97 and got maybe 4 hints. That is so annoying!
Yes, those references are super hard. Merry Christmas ten days early, and Happy Birthday to Me nine days early. I'll be 14. That's so old! Even older than 13!
Sometimes these online platforms run in a different time zone that where the person posting is located. That always effects the time stamp. Sounds like it was a really great trip! awesome!
I finished my memorizing Philippians project. But I notice that I am still have a good deal of trouble with the references. That seems to make it hard for me when I finish a section to remember what section is next. I just went back and loaded up some verses from previous Bible bees. (Remember some of those songs is fun!).
Merry Christmas
Yep. It's 6:02 right now.
What? I wasn't here at 4:31. I was at a play. ST clock is an hour behind, apparently?
Oh yes. We went and stayed with our grandparents in Knoxville for a few days, and then we went to Nashville for 3 days for Thanksgiving, and then we went to Chattanooga, because we used to live there. I was reunited with two pen pals, and one thought it was my turn and I thought it was her turn, and the other lost my address. But, it was super fun vacation!
I can only imagine! My Goodness!
Did your family have fun on vacation?
Thank you! It was really fun but the tests were super hard.
We are just so proud of both of you. What an accomplishment!
(Boy I tell ya, the references are always what get me too!)
I'm working on catching up on review.
Well, the written was easier than it was in August, but because of all the references the oral was harder, and I passed on like five. So I don't think I did very well. The choir was super fun, and Katherine Forster WON THE WHOLE THING!!!!!
Scores don't want to come out. Aaah.
Hope your family is having a great trip!
Hello. Today we drive to the hotel for registration. I'm SO nervoucited!
Hope your travel is going safely and that your family is having fun.
Thanks! Next time I post will probably be the 3rd, unless I manage to get on here tomorrow morning.
I cant wait to see how you do! And I actually really liked your picture haha. Good luck!
Safe travels and no matter what.....have fun!!
We're leaving tomorrow!!!!1
Miriam's pic is even more LOL, though.
I look awkward in my new picture, right? LOL
So, Joelle, now I'm 10000000 times smarter than I was after the Local? Well, at least I have memorized 10000000 times more verses, it seems like!
However it goes Ellie, we are so proud of you!
Oh, really? Thank you. I am VERY nervoucited.
