FACT: The Bible is not a type of bee. Your welcome.
We're busy with other stuff! ;))
Wow y'all! I'm top on this group and I haven't had any time to review or anything (and I wasn't even a Junior last year) xP I realize y'all are probably working on the new passages and stuff, but a lot of them overlap xD
I took it on the 10th, haha =)
when are y'all taking the qualifying test?
I didn't take the time to count them :P
@Grace, how did you not know how many verses there were? :O
@E2, of course not :P As for CR context, I believe we are supposed to study them "in context" (if I remember correctly)
Do y'all know if we need to study CR context? :P
@E1, wow... Seniors have around 116 CRs... :O
@E2: The Juniors have 87 passages mentioned in the Cross-Reference list. =P
@Grace, 59 xD You didn't know?:P
@E2, how many do the Seniors have? (now that I know how many the Juniors have lol) xP
@E1, oh, okay xP How many CRs? =P
How many verses do Juniors have this year?:P
@Grace, I don't think we'll be deleting it xP The 2016 one was deleted, so I thought y'all might want to delete this one xP
@E1 and E2, I don't see a reason why we should delete it (although if we all joined Brianna's group, then we could just talk on there instead) xP LMK what you decide xD
@E1, I don't really want to delete it or anything, but I thought y'all might not want it anymore:P
@E2: I don't mind...but I would like to keep it :P You can if you really want to, though ;)
Should we delete this group or not? xP
@Grace, *sigh* I guess I'll just have to ask some Primaries when I get back xP @Brianna, I would join, but I'm not a Junior =[
I just created a new group with the locals passages for this year. It is called Bible Bee 2018 Counting Juniors, if you want to join.
Cause I have no idea where they are now xP
@Grace, why not? xP @Noah, what Grace said :P
@Elizabeth, uh, not really xP @Noah, you'll probably need to go to a different group to get the new verses (one that has 2018 in the title is most likely your best option, because chances are the verses are already uploaded).
@Noah, this group will probably be deleted like the 2016 counting group was xP You can't see how many 2018 passages you've memorized if you have 2017 and 2018 verses on here =P
Has anyone uploaded the Junior verses?
@Grace, can you get them for me? xP
@E2, I don't xP I believe, however, that they were listed on the G+ community xD @E1, YES! =D
@Grace: It is! xD *runs around the room in circles and throws confetti*
It is! :D Do any of y'all have the Primary passages?:P
I know! Isn't it exciting? :D Bible Bee begins again...xD
https://quizlet.com/299140165/bible-bee-2018-locals-junior-passages-esv-flash-cards/
@Suzanne, y'all are probably going to have to delete this group and make a new one, cause you can't see how many verses you've memorized if there are verses from two years xD Here's a Quizlet set with all the Junior passages :P
Hi guys! sorry I haven't been on the chat for a while! Can someone add the local Junior verses? I can't find the list in my DJ, but I see some verses listed here and there. Thanksssssss
@Grace: I agree with you, It isn't really ;) It is friendly, though xD
@E1, I don't even think it is an argument xP @E2, I usually don't either xD
@Grace, okay fine xP I don't rephrase what I say xP I just can't find a way to say it xD @E1, it is a friendly argument:D
@E2 @Grace: Oh dear...**pops popcorn while reading the "friendly argument"**
Well, since all I could see was what you SOUNDED like, you can't blame me for thinking you were being negative and pessimistic, can you? xP When I end up re-phrasing what I say it's because I think what I've said is too long and complicated xD
I admitted that I SOUNDED negative and pessimistic, but I didn't say I actually was xD I do think what I say, but not completely xP It's not a plan xP I just can't phrase things properly =[
AHA! *grins* You just admitted that you sounded negative and pessimistic xDDD =P Wait, you don't think about what you say online? Not always a good plan...xP
@Grace, haha xP @E1, LOL XD Is it because I keep saying things that get answered with long speeches? :P And I don't actually think what I say on here xP Well I do, but I'm bad at saying things, so I sound very negative and pessimistic xP
@E2 @Grace: I had a feeling Elizabeth liked long speeches...Don't ask me why though...I don't know xP
Okay LOL XD NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! :O :P :( I love your long speeches! :D
OK xP I was kind of joking around anyway x) Wait, what???? I think I'll have to cut it shorter next time =P xD
@Grace, I'm not being negative and pessimistic xP I may not study... xP But what if I like lengthy speeches? :P
@Grace: xP @E2: Don't worry, You'll do great! Besides, the test is a long while off from now ;D
@E2, WHAT KIND OF ATTITUDE IS THAT???? =P Seriously, do I need to get on my soapbox again already? I mean, the BB hasn't even officially "started" yet and you are already being negative and pessimistic xP If you study, you won't fail the test, so please don't say you are going to fail the test unless you are planning on not studying at all. In fact, even if you didn't study at all I'd bet you would do pretty well because you already have James memorized...and you know how BB works xD Bottom line: we don't want Grace going on and on and on and on and on and on again, and talking about the Israelites etc. etc. etc...so perhaps be a little more optimistic (or at least don't announce you're personal convictions about failure if you don't want a lengthy speech from yours truly) =P
I'm probably going to fail the test :O
@E2: I don't know...I won't know till it happens, though =P
@Grace, I don't like it either =[
@E2, I don't really like it xP Of course, I won't know for real until we get there, but it sounds like something I wouldn't like =P @E1, well, now you have the chance to finish xD
What do y'all think of the new way they're doing Proclaim! Day?:P
@E1, GJ! :D Yeah, that's cool! :P
@E2: Yay! Glad to hear it! Whoa, we literally posted at the same time. Right when I pressed the button yours popped up xP
@E2: Wow, cool! Yup, I'm working on it now ;P
Thanks! I'm well now... (IMHO XD)
@E1, well you can memorize it now! :D And we memorized lots of James passages in 2016... xD
@Grace, I was really surprised xD But I'm really happy cause I also have it memorized! :D
@E2: I hope you get better! Praying for you! :)
@Grace: That's so cool! I was a tiny bit surprised, but I'm super excited about it ;) I started Memorizing it a long time ago, but I never finished, and now I really wish I did :P
Great! xP So what do y'all think about the study book being James??? =D Were you surprised? xP I was surprised, but I am definitely happy since I already have James memorized x) Of course, so do half of the other BB-ers, but... =P
Because I can only access google, gmail, etc. when my dad connects to his office computer =( He is going to connect tomorrow to watch Senior Finals, so I can access gmail xD But he connected yesterday, so I got on, but I thought he wouldn't so I said that :P
Interesting - why is that? xP
Yeah... =| I can't access gmail until Wednesday >:(
Well, so did I, which is why I was surprised xP Yeah, that makes sense. Being cold is no fun, and getting sick from it isn't either...
I believe I got sick because I sat on a really cold place on the plane... Afterward my parents both sat there, and they said it was really cold xP
I thought I couldn't talk till I got back xP I'm pretty much well now :D
Because you told me you wouldn't talk to me till you got back xP Aw, that's too bad! I hope you get better soon xD
@Grace, why should I not be talking on here? :P I'm sick xP But otherwise, it's pretty good xD
@E2, *falls over* You're talking on here??? xP Well, it's good to hear from you xD How is your trip going so far? =P
@E1, I thought I wouldn't, but I can access everything on my dad's computer xD When I posted that, I used my mom's IPad (what I usually use), but now it's not working anymore, so I'm using my dad's computer =)
@E2: I thought you wouldn't be on ST :-0
@Grace, I think I've played for 8 years xD
@E1, OK xD I've been playing for about 9 years, but I'm not sure what level I'm at either xP I do play out of the hymnal/for church, and I've done recital like things before (such as Guild). I agree with E2 that they are slightly nerve-wracking xD @E2, how long have you played the piano? (I realize you won't answer this for a while, but that's OK) xP
@E1, what's level 2?:P Do you like recitals? They're nerve racking IMHO XP
And I do love to play the piano. I don't play for church, but I have a few piano hymn books.
@E2/Elizabeth xD @Grace: I've been playing for two and a half years, and I'm almost done with level 2, I think. But for my recital I'm doing a harder piece. It is a classical Sonatina =)
@Grace, okay, makes sense xP I have no idea what level I'm at xP What level are you?:P I don't xP Do you? =P
@E2, she said she didn't *have* to do school at the moment of the video call xP @E1 and E2, awesome! So I guess we all play the piano xP Do y'all know what level you're at in playing the piano (like, how far along are you)? Do either of y'all improvise from the hymnal/play for church? Just curious =) @E2, yes, I enjoy playing the piano xP
@E1, I play piano too! Do y'all like piano?:P
@Grace: Oh, ok! Y'all play the piano? That is awesome! I play the piano too :)
@Grace, I thought she said she didn't have school?:P
That's the only time she has, sooo... Yeah, I agree, it is smart xP
@Grace, ah, I see xD That's smart! :D
@E2's question (and E1's answer), Morgan's verses don't usually stay current that long, but she's started reviewing them in the car on the way to piano lessons every week xP They will go down, but she reviews approximately the same amount every time because the car drive is always the same length...resulting in a "constant" verse level xD
@E1, you're ahead of her! :P
How do Morgan's verses stay up so long?:P
Okay, okay, sorry xP *begs for forgiveness* Good luck then! =P =D =)
*glares at Elizabeth* I'VE had a busy week too xP In fact, I am currently very very busy and don't really have time to review except for Sunday afternoons...so my verses probably won't go up until then xP
GJ, E1! And don't worry, I understand business xP
Sorry! ice had a busy week last week!! But I'll do that today :)
EMMA!!! GRACE!!! Y'all better get those verses up!!!!! :D :P :)
@E2, yeah, no doubt xP @E1, no problem! Keep going strong xD
IDK what happened to your account xP Probably their glitches again... =[
Well, I know that they had the points/ranks for at least a year before I got them on the computer because they displayed the ranks and points for other people, but I didn't have any yet so I was confused xP
@Grace, it's not because you use the computer xP It's because they didn't have points and levels and ranks and all that until 2015 or so xD They already had it for a little while when I started xP
@E1, wow, you're doing great! Keep up the good work xD
@E2, rank 498 isn't that bad xP You could be unranked, you know! And the funny thing is that I haven't had time to review much at all...I'm only one level above what I was at Nationals xP @Both Es, neither of your ranks/points are bad at all. It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as you keep your verses reviewed xD Since I use the computer, it didn't start counting by points/ranks until about a year and a half ago for me. I started at 0, even though I had thousands of verses current and had been using ST for like 4 years. If it hadn't done that, who knows what rank I'd be at xP
By verses current I'm rank 300, but that'll change cause I'm about to review ;)
@Grace @Elizabeth: Great job y'all!! :D I'm level 74, and at rank 640... :-/
@Grace, of course you didn't know :P Pretty much only my family (including grandparents) know that xP WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!! (That got pretty jumbled up, but I was saying WOW really long xPP) I'm at level 77 (almost 78) and rank 498 =[ By verses current I am 103, but by points I'm REALLY low...=(
@Elizabeth, OK! No problem-you can be E2! I didn't know that you were already known by that title xP I am currently rank 225 and am at level 87 xD @The new E1, be aware that you are now E1 =P And thanks, BTW! xD
What levels are y'all on?:P
@Grace @Elizabeth: xP I'm content with E1 for Elizabeth's sake,
@Grace, I'm E2 okay? xP My grandparents call me E2 :D And my email says I'm e2 xD
Yes, keep it up, E2! xP (note: Emma is "E2" because her last name comes after E1's last name in the alphabet) xD
@Emma, GJ!!! Keep it up! :P
@Elizabeth, Oh xP No wonder you were confused! xD
@Grace, okay I thought you were saying something about how I said ditto to Emma LOL XP
@Elizabeth, I was saying that you said, "IMO" instead of "IMHO"..."In my opinion" instead of "in my humble opinion". Nothing wrong with the way you said it, I was just teasing because you didn't say your opinion was humble xP
@Elizabeth: xD Thanks! @Grace, Oh, I see =P
I'm confused about what you're saying xP
@Elizabeth, you forgot the "humble" in your opinion =P @The two E's, it was easier to type xP
GJ Emma! Slow and steady wins the race!:P I wouldn't exactly call you slow, but you're not fast IMO XP
@Grace, ditto to Emma! xP
@Grace, @Elizabeth: Thanks! And Grace, I like how you called us the two E's xP
@Grace, okay xP @Emma, keep it up! GJ,
@The two E's, Sorry, but I've been to busy to review much xP Maybe tomorrow...xD BTW, GJ Emma! x)
Don't let those verses drop again!!! xP
@Elizabeth: Ok! xP **goes to get verses current and types furiously**
@Emma, so do it and get Grace to get hers too! :D
@Grace: Hehe xP Go Grace!! You can do it!
@Grace @Emma y'all need to go review!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
@Emma, aww! That means you'll pass me again xP (which you did, BTW) xD But hey, keep reviewing! It'll give me motivation =P
@Emma, YYYEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO REVIEW :D
**and then brushes all of it off of her xP** And now I'm off to reviewing! :D
@Elizabeth: I'm so glad to hear that!! You're welcome! **throws confetti all over Elizabeth**
@Elizabeth, that's correct xD
@Suzanne, we hardly talked, so Grace saw the messages :P
@Elizabeth, wonderful =D @Suzanne, you did, actually xP I saw it when I came back on from my month of media fasting xD
@Suzanne, around 11 PM on your birthday xP
@Grace, thank you!!! How did you know it was my birthday?
@Grace @Emma one of my sister's friends is doing BB! PTL! Thanks for all your help! :DDDDDDDDDDDDD
@Grace, yeah I guess so xD
Oh, I see xP Well, I guess I wasn't paying attention to the details of the past since I had been gone for a month xD
I looked back at it, and it seems that I only asked Emma and Suzanne cause they have the app :P
@Grace, of course you don't have ST Pro xP
@Elizabeth, I don't have ST Pro, and I am currently 16...xD Thanks for conveying the message, BTW! =)
@Suzanne, Happy (really late) Birthday xP
xPPP But we were racing in December... And it's not been a few days since December...xP
Lol Elizabeth I know. I've been on a trip for the past few days so I didn't have much time xD
Now, Emma, it's waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy past the time when you said all your verses would be current xP When we race, we don't just race to get our verses current at one point:P True, we win when we get them all current once, but the point is to get our verses up and keep them up :D So now, you better get your verses up soon and keep them up =P And I'm not trying to sound bossy or commanding xD
@Suzanne, awesome!:P @Emma, I see xP It works for me after I sync it several times:D
@Elizabeth: When I first get on the app, it does that, too. But after I type in one or more verses, it comes up right ;)
@Emma, okay xP Mine is having some problems lately =| For example, they say I'm on level 1:(
Well, sometime the app blocks me out, if you know what I mean, but I don't think that is because of my account :-P
@Elizabeth: Um, no...not that I know of ;-)
@Emma, me too! Have there been glitches on your account these past few days?:P
@Emma @Suzanne Do y'all have ST Pro?:P
@Emma, I know she was 12 at Nats, but I don't know when her birthday is, so...xP
Lol! Thanks, @Elizabeth! I think Angela K. is a bit younger than me, so either almost 12 or 12 ;)
@Emma, I just remembered that we were in the same hallway at Nats!:P
GJ on your verses, Emma! Keep it up!:D
@Emma, I actually don't care you're older xP I was just wondering who was older xD Do you know how old Angela K is?:P
Happy birthday, Suzanne!! @Elizabeth: Yes, that is my birth date ;) **laughs evilly and rubs hands together, saying,"Yes, yes, I'm older than you!" xP jkjk
You were up at 11:00 PM... Wow... Do you usually do that, or was it just because it was your birthday? xP
HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY, SUZANNE!!!!!:P🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Woohoo!:D
So you're older than me xD I was wondering which ones of the twelve year olds in semis were older than me :D
@Emma, LOL, yeah obviously xD
Which means that I'm obviously 12. xP
I will be 13 in June! ;-)
Okay sorry, I know this is weird, but how old is everyone?:P
Grace has charged me to tell y'all that she will be taking a break from social media for about a month ='(
@Emma, ok xP I haven't done much for the unofficial BB:[
@Elizabeth and @Grace: Y'all are so funny **rolls on the floor laughing
sorry Elizabeth...I've been focusing on the off season competition, but I promise they will be current soon ;)
I know they can't stay forever xD That's because you reviewed again!!!!!:P GJ though!=P You should get them to 715!!!
Wait a minute, did you say they dropped? xP They are still at 619, you know...xD =P
OKAY, OK!!! So they finally dropped xP They can't stay forever, y'know. xD
And they dropped again... xPPPPP
YOUR VERSES DROPPED!!!!!;P:O=)
@Elizabeth, I meant that the verses I *had* current weren't going down xD See, I'm still at 619!!! xP Oh wow, I hadn't noticed that!! xD
@Grace, we have the same number of successful attempts!:O:P:)
@Emma, this week's almost over, and you still haven't gotten any verses current... xPPP
You're supposed to have 715...:P
Nope...my verses haven't dropped at all since yesterday morning. I know, because my count is still at 619. I'm sure it'll drop later today, but for now it is the same xP xD *grins*
@Grace, I know... Your's are too:P *evil laugh*
@Elizabeth, It is! xD And your verses are dropping...xP
@Grace, ok xP Sounds interesting!:P
@Elizabeth, no, not currently =( I'm really busy right now. Also, one of my online classes is NT Literature and Interpretation, and by the end of the class I'll have read through the whole NT as various class assignments. Right now that's what I'm doing for my Bible reading (it's weird to have it as an assignment!). I wish I was, so that we could do it together =) Maybe next year! xD
@Emma, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!:P @Grace, okay! Are you doing it? xP
@Elizabeth, glad it was helpful to you! I haven't done it myself, but some BB people were, and I thought you might be interested x) LMK when you finish!!! :D @Emma, go for it!!!!! xD
Oops..sorry Elizabeth. I'll try to get them all current by next week ;-)
This is awesome, Grace! Thanks! I'm definitely doing it!:D
Cool! I'll check it out! xD
You could try this...
https://margaretfeinberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/UPDATED-LentReadingGuide2013smallpdf.com_.pdf
If you don't want to do that, then work out the math. Or, you could do each "day" on that guide as two days, and thus make it 80 days till completion instead of 40. It's up to you! Hopefully this'll help you...
So some people I know are reading the whole Bible in a year (3 chapters of OT and 1 chapter of NT per day), and I thought I should probably read the whole Bible xD Obviously, as a BBer, I won't have time to read the Bible in a year =| So... If I'm going to do it, I have to do it in 3 or less months =) Any suggestions of how much I should read a day?=P
EMMA!!! SUZANNE!!! Y'all can't let your verses drop just like that! JKJKJK XP
@Suzanne, yay! I'm glad that you're reviewing. Keep up the good work! @Elizabeth, yeah, technically it was me who said that xP BUT still...xD
@Grace, yeah she never said that xP @Morgan, but you did say you were going to keep it up...=P
No..., I never said that.
Yeah!!! xP Weren't you going to finish reviewing all your verses in 195 days??? xD
@Morgan, and I thought you wanted to keep it up????? xP
@Morgan, Oh. Got it. Past tense. xP
@Morgan, I thought you were trying to get your verses current?=P
Well, I did (subconciously!!) xP I was just not thinking, I guess xD
@Grace, yup! I actually thought you knew... xP
@Elizabeth, AHA!! No wonder you just added Habbakkuk xP Why did I not think of that before??? *facepalm* xD
@Elizabeth: Lord willing, I will :)
I was pretty sure you were too busy xP I don't have much time to study Habakkuk, because I have my own memorization schedule, plus unofficial BB... I'm still doing it though xD @Emma, are you doing the unofficial BB?;P
Yeah, no time x( It would be awesome, but since I might not get to do the real BB because of time constraints I really can't!!!!
I didn't think you would... xP
Yes, I know about it xP We aren't though x(
I said G plus, but it won't let me use the plus sign for some reason... xP
@Morgan, Grace probably knows from G xD
@Elizabeth, What is that? Since I have not heard of it, no, we are not doing it.
I have an ST group for unofficial Bible Bee verses xD It's called 'Unofficial Bible Bee', and I'll post the link later=)
Are any of y'all doing the unofficial BB?=P
@Emma, I just reviewed that one. Unfortunately, it was still on *gasp* 2 weeks!
@Emma, I'm afraid I can't sympathize with Job 37:1-23 because I didn't have to memorize it this year...xP However, I know the pain of typing long passages (such as Psalm 107:1-31) xD
Uh oh...looks like I've gotta type Job 37:1-23 xP :'-(
I'd better get reviewing!
No...my verses weren't dropping at the time, so I have no idea...ST recently was having problems with Jer. 31:31-40, which is 11 verses.. But now, my verses are dropping ;)
Or maybe her verses are dropping...and when she said that she was only missing 8 verses xP
Maybe she has two passages that are giving her problems xP (one of them being 2 Peter 3:8-15!) xD
@Emma, great!;P 2 Peter 3:8-15? xP That's only 8 verses, and you're missing 11 verses...=P *Is suddenly REALLY confused* x]
@Morgan and Elizabeth: Lol. Yay, almost all of my verses are showing! I think the problem might be 2 Pet. 3:8-15...:/
@Morgan, because you were the one who said shall xP
@Grace, LOL yeah sometimes I see the last post and then I'm so confused xP
@Elizabeth, never mind, I got it =P I was really confused at first with no context xD
@Elizabeth, what?? xP @Faith, yes! Keep up the good work xD
Yay! Someone else uses shall! xP
Thanks! I shall try to keep it up ;)
And she just does the opposite and drops three verses... LOL XP
@Morgan, yeah!! Keep reviewing xD
Okay, great job! Keep it up!;P
@Elizabeth, I could of..., I just reviewed what I saw.
@Morgan, wowww... You only reviewed six verses... You could've reviewed 23 verses... And I know you don't have Job 37:1-23 current (at least not on this group) cause you don't have enough verses;P
There! I passed her again.
@Morgan, Grace is right! @Grace, thanks!;P
@Morgan, Suzanne didn't pass you! She didn't review a single verse. Yours just dropped. Therefore, you passed her-the other direction!! xP @Elizabeth, good job BTW! @Emma, good job to you too! It'll probably right itself after a while. There always seem to be a few glitches. xD
Oh no! Suzanne passed me again :(
Yeah, probably xP Brianna had 774 verses at one point, and now she has 793;D
@Elizabeth: Yeah...xP. It'll probably come back in a few days =D
@Emma, awww that's too bad:[ I hate it when that happens xP
@Elizabeth: I just tried resetting the app, but it didn't work.. :/ oh well :)
@Emna, perhaps you could reset it...;P @Morgan, you definitely should do that (what Grace suggested)! xP
@Emma, that's too bad! Looks like you're missing 19. We know you're finished, though!!! xD @Morgan, that's OK, but you could probably review 4 verses every day (not passages, verses!). It would only take you approximately 195 days to get them all current xP
I wish I could say "I have all my verses current.....", But I don't have time ;(
I even tried syncing it. :(
I just finished, too! But all my verses aren't showing.. :'-(
@Emma, thanks!;P I'm sure you can get your's current this week;D
Great job, Elizabeth! I didn't check last night, so I woke up early to get mine current xP
@Emma, well you can't beat me now because I'm done!;P Thanks xD I had them all by 6:15 PM EST, but I didn't sync my app because I was offline, so... xP Hopefully it counts *goes to sync it*
@Elizabeth: But, I have a few passages up my sleeve *rubs hands together and mysteriously smiles
Oh no, Elizabeth!! How am I gonna beat you now?!?! *hysterically runs around the room while furiously reviewing verses xP Great job for getting in front of me Elizabeth
@Grace, well... I review every day, so yes, I had to go do it xP Hahaha xD
Awww man, Elizabeth!! You had to go and do it >:( xP Now I can't beat you. WAAAAAHHHHH!!!! xD
Oh, and Grace!;P @Morgan, well... You could've done a longer one to get more verses current... xD
Uggghhh... I'll have to beat Emma tonight xP
@Elizabeth, TOO LAZY?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I just reviewed a small passage because it was the first one I saw.
It doesn't take that much longer to review an 8 verse passage than a 2 verse passage (about as much time as it takes to post on here!!) xP So, maybe it is the second option!!! xO BTW Elizabeth, I'm still ahead of you xD (relishing my victory while I have the chance, because once you review more I can't do anything about it). =P
@Grace, probably because she wasn't that far behind Suzanne, and she was too busy to review a long one xP Or *gasp* she was too lazy=O
@Morgan, what I don't get is why you reviewed such a short passage xP
This race'll probably end in a few days;D
@Morgan, yeah, your not at all hard to achieve goal LOL XP Big accomplishment, isn't it? LOL XD
@Elizabeth, Ha Ha, not very funny, but, hey, I made my goal =P
@Emma, I'm done reviewing for today, so you'll probably beat me>:(;P=|
@Grace: Great idea! I'll start reviewing right away xP
@Grace, ah okay xP I think I get it;D
Actually, I have been able to get that many before...so I guess you have a bad memory xP (jk; actually, the reason you probably don't remember me having that many is because I usually didn't have them all current at once) xD
@Grace, yeah I guess xP How come you were never able to get 700 on this group before?;P Or is my memory just that bad?=P=O @Morgan, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL *falls on the floor laughing*
I think I am going to review just one passage so that I can pass Suzanne.
@Elizabeth and Emma, I think you BOTH should review xP And thanks! I had some extra time this afternoon between church services, so that's what I did xD
@Emma, says who?!?!?! You're the one who's ahead LOL XP
Wow, Grace, great job! @Elizabeth: LOL. You are the one who shouldn't review xP
@Emma, no you shouldn't!!! XP JKJKJK @Grace, great job! Won't try to beat you till tomorrow xP I thought you could only get 600 some...=P
@Elizabeth, guess what!!! xD I have all my possible verses on this group current (at least, I think I do!!!) At any rate, I am ahead of you now xP
I REALLY need to review...
Ugh!! I guess I should review too... xP And you don't have to rub it in, Elizabeth!!! xD
Thanks, Elizabeth! I should get to reviewing xD
@Emma, thanks! And great job!;P
Great job, Elizabeth! And you, too, Grace! =D
@Elizabeth, in between the two, I think?
I just reviewed a bunch of short passages and I don't know why I didn't just review one long passage... LOL XD But anyway, I'm ahead of Emma and Grace xP
@Grace, same xP Good job!;P Maybe you will maybe you won't xD You can only get about 600 verses in this group, and I'm going to beat Emma today, and I'm going to review more tomorrow... But of course I might not because James 4:13-17 and Proverbs 27:1-2! xD
Oh, and BTW, I'm catching up with you xD I reviewed this morning for the second time after nationals, and I'm almost caught up with you! Maybe tomorrow I can get ahead...xP
I'm in between xP In other words, I'm introverted in some situations but extroverted in others...xD
Random question: Are y'all introverted or extroverted?;P
@Grace, yeah I am now xP Well I was excited that I was seven (I think it was seven) verses behind Emma;D
Currently, Elizabeth, you're ahead xD (what were you so excited about???) xP
Thanks xD Now you're one verse ahead of me... And I'm not reviewing till tomorrow...>:[
Oh, no! Now I'd better review... Great job, Elizabeth! The results are going to be close 😁
Lol in that last post, you had me worried, @Elizabeth xP
*screams and decides not to tell what I'm so excited about* No, I didn't beat Emma xP
@Emma, I don't think so... I don't do very many verses per day, and my verses are continually dropping...>:[
@Elizabeth: Don't worry, I'm not too far ahead, you'll catch up :-]
EMMA!!!!! HOW AM I EVER GOING TO CATCH UP?!?!?! xP
@Emma, okay xP Yes it's probably better;D
@Grace: Thanks! @Elizabeth: Except when the app isn't working, I just about always review on the app. In my opinion, it's better than the website :)
@Elizabeth, I haven't, but I should!!! xD @Elizabeth and Emma, y'all aren't that far apart. Keep up the good work!!!
@Elizabeth, No, I haven't.
Have y'all checked out the new BB website?;P I always play the created song when I do ST on the computer, and it just makes me feel like crying (but I haven't cried yet...)! xD All those memories of Nationals...xP
*sigh* I guess I'll have to review tonight *sigh*
NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! My verses are continually dropping, and you keep gaining verses!!!;P:O>:(
@Emma, I didn't think you would think I was mad, but it could seem like I was mad if you get what I mean LOL XP That's so cool! Do you usually review on the app?;P
@Elizabeth: I didn't think you were mad. ;) Im using the app, and I'm actually using an iPad, too! I also can't see how long this is lol 😁
BTW, I'm not mad when I write in caps xP I reviewed 44 verses today, so I guess I do a little bit less than you every day;D
@Emma, NOOOOO!!!!! THAT IS NOT WHY I WANT TO KNOW!!!!! I wanted to know because I'm a curious person and I wanted to know your goals for reviewing on ST XP FIFTY VERSES?!?!?! :0=O:O I do it by passages and cards =D For the 2017 passages, I do one locals passage, 2 ER, and 2 LR XD The Nats passages have to add up to 10 (or more) cards and all five passages have to add up to 15 or more cards:D I'm almost done with the local passages, so I'll do 3 passages for either ER or LR (it'll change every day) xD I'm on my mom's iPad, so I can't see how long this is, but I'm pretty sure this is long, so sorry in advance!;P Do you use computer or app? =P
I meant reviewing, not memorizing. Sorry
LOL I was kidding. I have a goal of memorising 50 verses a day, but some days I do more than that. ;) What about you?
@Elizabeth: (Says mysteriously) Why would you want to know that...so you can BEAT ME?! :-0
I meant 'do you review' not 'to do review' xD
@Emma, yeah, we're almost always just one verse apart LOL XP Well, I guess we both need to get going now!:P How many passages to do review every day?
@Elizabeth: At this point, I'm the one who needs to get going xD. And even if we hadn't started, now is as good as any time, since we are so close together.
@Emma, yes we are xP I checked and it seems like we did start... Thanks for the confirmation;P I'd better get going! xD
@Elizabeth....well, I thought we were...are we? We did start in Dec. I think.
@Morgan, what's not that bad? Your procrastination?;P
Well, maybe not THAT bad =P
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Emma's just one verse behind me:O @Emma, are we racing or not? I forgot if we started or not...LOL xP
@Faith @Grace, LOLOLOLOL I don't think y'all procrastinate that much... Or how can y'all do so much school, Bible Bee, get good rankings, and chat?:P
@Elizabeth, Same as Grace (I guess).
@Everyone, what are your new year resolutions? xP
@Grace, haha, I haven't done any either xD
@Everyone, how many if your new year resolutions have you finished? xP
@Elizabeth, If we go next year I will.
Happy (late) New Year everyone!
@Morgan, yup! You were indeed original xD
@Morgan, then why don't you do it? jk I did notice:P
@Elizabeth, I know. @All, Happy 2018!!!!! Notice I was original =P
@Morgan, LOL xP You should just do it once and then you probably won't forget to bring it=P
Happy new year y'all!!! (and that includes each and every one of you) xP
Happy New Year everyone!!!
@Elizabeth, I know..., it just always is a lot of work.
@Morgan, then don't procrastinate and just get it xP @Suzanne, some people don't wear their shirts because they get signatures xD
I wanted to get people to sign my shirt, but I still needed to wear it. maybe I'll use this year's shirt for people to sign next year??
@Elizabeth, I know..., but I always say to myself that I'll get it later and then forget again =P I went to Nats several years before I made it because of my siblings.
@Morgan, well, people only started asking me for signatures last year. And I never went to Nats before I made it, so obviously no one asked me for signatures before I made it LOL XD Well, you should go back to your room and get it:P
@Elizabeth, Even before I made it to Nats people still asked me fore signatures. @Suzanne, I guess so =P I am not nervous asking about them, I just always forget to bring my book. It's like I walk out of the hotel room "oops, I forgot my book" and then the next time it is 'to late' to get lots of signatures......, *sigh*
@Grace, well this year was my fourth year and I didn't see anyone asking for signatures before, so yeah >:( @Suzanne, nope! I am too, but I do it anyway xD
Am I the only one who feels really shy about asking people for signatures?
You are so not a procrastinator!!! How fortunate for you. Some of us are still wishing they would have gotten signatures 4 years ago at Nationals...and then three...and then two...and then one...and finally, this very last year.... xD Too bad you didn't know about the signatures, though. But how could you not if so many people were asking for signatures??? How many years have you been to Nationals?
@Grace, LOLOLOL XP I didn't know people got signatures until last year x[ I started at the dinner last year, but this year I started on the first day:D
@Elizabeth, every year I say I will, and every year I don't xP
@Brianna, yay! I beat you (maybe)! xP
Its Okay. I do not have my book with me and I am too lazy to look for it, but I got at least 30-40 signatures.
@Morgan and Grace, okay, for some reason I thought y'all were getting signatures xP @Brianna and Chelsea, how many signatures did y'all get (I'm 100% sure that you two were getting signatures)?:P I'm trying to see if I beat anyone LOL XD BTW, don't answer me if you don't want to a.k.a. if I'm way too nosy xP
@Brianna, how do you always keep your verses current? xP @Morgan, did you get home today?;P
@Elizabeth, I didn't get signatures *sigh* maybe next year! xP And Late Merry Christmas everybody!!!! xD
@Elizabeth, I didn't. @All, I was out of town for Christmas so I wasn't giving cheer...., but, Merry Christmas!!!!!!
@Brianna, better late than never!:P I figured out yesterday that if you had a perfect Oral, you would have been in semis (12th place)!:D
Merry Christmas! (I was a little late)
LOL; signatures are a wonderful reminder of Nats:P
Haha I was to lazy to ask for signatures xP
@Everyone, random question: Did y'all get signatures at Nats? If so, how many?:P
ooooh nice Bible Bee picture!!! *sigh* I miss Bible Bee...
I know-such good memories! xD
I just changed my picture to the BB program... *remembers running around getting signatures and wishes to do it again... SOON!!!!!*
=P It's a Christmas tree ornament:D
I LOVE it to Elizabeth! It is so cute!
So true! xD That's what I love about BB friends =D And I like your new picture, Elizabeth!
@Grace, yup! Proverbs 27:17 xD
Well thank y'all xP I guess I too can use some encouragement now and then xD
@Emma, I'm pretty sure you can xP @Grace, you're doing AMAZING, especially since you're a Senior AND you've only reviewed once xD
*Typo: no "cap" at the end xP
@Elizabeth: thanks! but I'm not sure about that;-) @Grace: You're doing great, considering you're a senior on a junior group doing junior verses, though most of them overlap...;). oh dear..here I go again with the somewhat long posts cap
Alas, my verses are dropping rapidly =( xP
You'll beat me soon enough, Emma=P
I think that's the title because they want feedback xP
Oh no I can't believe you're reviewing right now, Elizabeth! And at the worst timing...I'm ready to take you on (lol)xP
xP Thanks! At least I'm making SOME progress..;) Hm, that's a nice title for an email
GJ Emma! You beat Grace!=P
It's titled "We Want To Hear From You!"=D
Yes, last Tuesday BB sent an email=D
where do we find our rankings?? Was there an email sent out about it?
Oops, we started without you=O You should get going, Emma!=P
oh no! I didn't know we started! I'd better get to work :/
Okay xP I thought I remembered it being 5:21 from Senior Finals=D And we have 5:15-21, so...=P
It was through 5:21; sorry, typo! xP
Was it Ephesians 4:25-5:20 or 5:21? xP
Ok, I was guessing they were about 8-10 cards xP
Um, the Ephesians one was 10 cards, the Psalm 107 was 8 cards, and I don't know about the rest xP I do know that the Ephesians 4:25-5:20 had the most cards, though.
@Grace, how many cards are the longest Senior passages (the ones they called in Finals)?=P
I've actually reviewed several times... xP
I haven't reviewed any since nats.....
Thanks!=D It's not really that great of an accomplishment... xP I hope you can get some more (just not enough to beat me!)=P
Um, GJ Elizabeth! It may seem like a great accomplishment, especially when I tell you that I have only reviewed once since Nationals (and that was for about 20 minutes) xD Really though, good job on reviewing! Maybe I can get some in tomorrow....
Yup, it'll pry take a while for y'all to get there anyway! xP
Perhaps we could just start racing...=P
Ok. @Suzanne, your ahead of me :(
@Elizabeth: Sure! I'd love to race again! Let us know when you'll want to start, Morgan! @Suzanne: Don't worry, you'll catch up!! :D
Alright, we'll wait for a while xP But of course you can still review your passages=P
I will try!! But I'm at the bottom of the leaderboard :(
Nope. Sorry, don't have time at the moment. Once I get going with my school I will, though.
Well, Brianna can't really participate, because her verses are already current!=D Do the rest of y'all want to do it?=P
@Elizabeth, sounds good! I, of course, won't be participating, but...only one problem though. Brianna has like almost all of hers already current! xP Still, there's always second place!!! xD
@Emma, I am actually shocked at the number of people I beat ;) I think you should =P
Maybe we should do the race all over again and get our verses current...=D What do y'all think?
Haha, Emma! You better get going!=P
Oh no! Elizabeth reviewed more! I'd better get to work =P
@Elizabeth: xP oh ok. @Morgan: 79 is very good! think of how many people you did better than! Good job!
@Emma, thanks! And oops, Elizabeth! Guess I misinterpreted your statement wrongly!!! xP @Morgan, 2011 was the first year you did it (cause you had just turned 7). I started in 2009, skipped over 2010, and then have done it ever since xD I didn't make Nationals until 2014, though, but ever since then I have =D And just when I started to get "into it" I became too busy to study hard enough to make semis.... =(
I've done the BB since 2010 (or was it 11, Grace?) I wasn't "into it" until 2013, I still didn't make it to Nats till 2015 (I know sad...). =P
I was 198 locals in 2013 and then moved to Juniors; jumped back and then made Nats the next year. GREAT JOB, BRIANNA!!!!!!!!!!!! You were so close!!! @Chelsea, you tied with someone else I know!!!! For those who don't know I was 79 in Juniors (awful..., but I didn't study much).
@Emma, actually, I meant I beat you on ST=P And yes, I definitely get what you mean xP I wasn't very into it until 2016=D
Great job, Grace!! That's really good! I finally took a break from all my long posts xP
I think she meant at Nats xP And great job, everybody! For those who don't already know, I was 43 in Seniors =) Yes, GREAT JOB Brianna! You were REALLY REALLY close!!!!! x)
@Elizabeth: It's okay. :) 2014 was my first year at Nats, but my first year doing the Bible Bee was in 2012. Before 2014, I wasn't really "into it" if you know what I mean, though ;-) did you mean that you beat me at Nats or on ST? cause you literally beat me at both. If you mean on ST, it's not going to be for Long. xP
Thanks, Emma!=D Okay. Was 2014 your first year?=P I know you told me during semis, but I forgot xP
So close Brianna!! Great job, Chelsea!! @Elizabeth: Thanks Elizabeth!! CONGRATS!! And yes, I was in primary semis in 2014, but was first to get out ;) Those are great passages, Elizabeth. @All: Y'all did GREAT!!
Brianna is 16th and Chelsea is 29th=D
Great Job, Everybody!!!!!!!!
Wait???? What are Brianna and Chelsea's????
I realized I didn't post mine yet xP I was 4th=D I was sort of expecting that=D
Thank you Elizabeth. Y'all all did great!
CONGRATULATIONS BRIANNA AND CHELSEA!!!!! I was sooo excited when I saw your rankings! Y'all were sooooo close! Great job!=D
No, I meant that I guessed my rank right.
oh, you mean you guessed my rank right?
What did you guess right?=P
@Elizabeth, because I am BEHIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only by a week....., but school comes first before everything :( :/ I got....... drum roll please....... Well, How about you guess and tell me yours and then I will tell you ;)
YOU CAN DO IT GRACEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope to survive...Online college classes + regular schoolwork + farm + Christmas = NO TIME! xP
@Morgan, you hope to get caught up in school?=O Why?=P
@Emma, I hope to get caught up in school =P and after that I do not know; probably memorize the last year passages I did not do and Colossians. Oh, and to review =P
Great goals, Emma!=P I was actually thinking about that sometime before, but then I decided that I should memorize the passages, because I've sort of forgotten them xP I'm doing last year's passages, and the verses I memorized during off-season last year (James, Psalm 119, John 1-4, and John 16-21)=D BTW, were you in semis in 2014?=P
@All: What are your off season plans?
Lol Morgan. Thanks for the encouragement, Elizabeth. @Elizabeth: Actually, I am. :) My Mom and I looked through all the old Bible Bee cards. And based off of those, I picked chapters of the Bible to memorise. I have 20 picked out, and I've finished one so far (oh by the way the one I finished was five verses Long so you can't really give me much credit xP). I also plan to get most (if not all) of my verses current on ST.
You could easily catch up, Emma!=P Are you planning to memorize anything during off-season?
Catch her, Emma!!!! Shes's only ahead by 1 verse =P
Nooooooo! Elizabeth is getting in front of me! *furiously types*
Yeah, I'm definitely jealous of you jk =P
@Elizabeth, We are *hoping* to go to Florida for Christmas. Wow!!!! My 7 verses are really going to make everyone jealous =P
I just realized that Brianna has 793 verses current now!=D
Are y'all going anywhere for Christmas?=P
@Morgan, I think and hope so xP @Grace, oh you did? Well, I guess I didn't see that!=D
@Elizabeth, on Quizlet =D @Suzanne, I know what you meant! I was just teasing you xP
I'm like above rank 90 as in a higher score than rank 90 as in better than rank 90 XP. I guess that's just how I think... lol
I think you are higher than that.
When did you tell me that, Grace? xP
@Elizabeth, I agree with Morgan's assessment! I told you that I thought you were 6th.....xP @Suzanne, don't you mean *below* 90???? xP At least, I hope you mean below 90! xD
@Elizabeth, you know that it is at least 15. I'd say (for you) 1-10 =P
hopefully above 90???????? I don't know...
@Suzanne, I say 70-80s; but I really have no idea. It could be lower or higher than that.
Um, probably around the high 30s/low 40s if I was guessing. However, I could easily be in the 50s as well! xP What about you?
What score do you think you'll get?
@Elizabeth, I can see why you would want to know a little bit... xP And yeah, I really want to see how I did so I can gauge how I'll do next year (if I get to participate!!!!!) when I'll have even less time x(
@Suzanne, Relax! @Elizabeth, I really want to know my score.
I heard it would be Jan. 7th, but I also heard it would be sooner... xP I don't actually know why I want my ranking, I just do!=D
For some reason I always feel the shot the most...
No, I don't! Hannah Leary said on G+ that it would be "soon," but how soon it really is remains to be seen! xD I don't know why you need to know your ranking, because in actuality you got first! xP
@Suzanne, ditto to Elizabeth; you can barely feel it. @Elizabeth, Nope.
Do y'all know when the rankings will be out?=P
It is said that the shot hurts, but it doesn't really xP I didn't even know they were giving me a shot, because I thought it would hurt and it didn't!=D
Yeah, they're usually nice and do it slowly so it doesn't hurt! xD And Morgan, I love how you capitalized "pain..." Like, "the Pain." That's just sounds cool xPP
The shot is NOTHING; and then you can't feel the Pain. Trust me; I've had the shot before; you can hardly notice it.
But how about the shot they give you to numb the PAIN??????
To bad Suzanne; but you'll be fine ;)
It's not that bad, Suzanne=P It didn't hurt at all=D
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Though I'm a little late... @Elizabeth, I'm getting my teeth pulled next week 😁😁
Yes, Happy Thanksgiving all! xP Hope everybody has a great time with family and friends (and remember Proverbs 23:20-21)!!!!!! =P
Happy Thanksgiving!!!! Oops, Elizabeth already beat me to it =P
I can eat, just not slippery hard stuff xP
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! :D :D :D
@Pompie, wait, you are now toothless???? xP (jk, jk) xD And Morgan, I am sure that she can eat some things...just not hard stuff or whatever. So, she is most likely not languishing away from lack of nourishment. =P But, I am still sympathetic, so don't get the wrong idea here...xD
That's so sad! At least you should be able to eat later.
Haha, I'm hungry, but I can't eat much 'cause I got my teeth pulled yesterday =D I should be able to eat everything by the time I go to my church's potluck dinner xP
Yup! I'm getting hungry already =P
Having a BIG meal!!!!! :P =P
What are y'all doing for thanksgiving? =P
Right=D It'll be complicated xP
Nope. Just what they told us at the closing ceremony.
anyone know more about where Nats is gonna be next year?
@Morgan, I know! You just have to trust that God knows best, no matter what happens next year. @Elizabeth, good goals! I hope you can meet them =D You too, Suzanne! xD And I too am very very sad that Nats is over already...=(
I know :'( :'(..... It's always so sad because I have no assurance that I'll make it next year (or that we'll go if I did).
I'm sooooo sooooo sooooo sad Nats is over! :'(
I'm going (or maybe hoping) to re-memorize last year's BB verses and the verses I memorized during off-season=D
I might memorize Colossians!
@Suzanne, we were! @Elizabeth, I may memorize the 2017 and 2016 BB verses I never got to, but even reviewing my verses once in a while is all I usually have time for.
Yes, I'll have to be a senior next year=|
I went but I talked the whole time=D
we got back at midnight last night... it feels sooooo weird not cramming verses into my brain today :( but Nats was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Good job everyone! who was at the square dance??
Yeah, and you'll be a Senior next year (Elizabeth)! xD Um, right now I can't really do anything. I did James last year-maybe some Proverbs or Psalms? I can't really tackle a whole book right now, as I am gonna be super busy...We'll see =D
What do y'all plan on memorizing now? =P
I'm so sad that Nats is over too..... :'(
I got to talk to all of y'all too!=P I'm do sad Nats is over I could cry :'(
We're going to keep memorizing!=D
It was really fun meeting all of you!!!!! What do we do now that Nationals is over???
Yes, CONGRATULATIONS ELIZABETH!!!! I TOLD YOU SO!!!! xP And I did get to talk to all of you. Quite a bit, in fact! I probably won't be on here for a while, so by y'all!!! Hope to see you next year!! =D
I saw and talked with ALL of you!!!!!! BTW, (not that it really matters), but my last years score was actually 108 (my Mom looked it up). It's to bad that Nats is over...... :( I know I told you in person Elizabeth, but, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D =D =D
See y'all in FIVE MINUTES!!!=D =O
I've seen Morgan and Grace, but it was right before the orientation, and I couldn't find y'all afterwards=| I talked to Emma too=D
I 'saw' you too Brianna, but you left before I could say hi.
Yes, it was fun to see you Elizabeth and Suzanne. I saw Emma, but she was leaving.
I haven't seen you guys yet..... I talked to Emma though l.
I am too! It was great seeing y'all, Suzanne, Brianna, and Chelsea!=D
Hi guys! I am at Nationals!!!!!!!!
Alrighty! I can't wait to see you, Suzanne!
ditto to Morgan!! pppppplsssssss come over and introduce yourselves!!!!! 😀
Safe travels everyone!=P See y'all tomorrow!!!=O=D=P
@All, I'll see you at Nats (hopefully), though talking from experience I'll probably 'see' you; not meaning that I'll actually 'meet' you :P BTW, If you see me, please come over and introduce yourselves!
You guys are scary!!! Of course, I wasn't packed yesterday.....
@Chelsea, when are you leaving?
@Elizabeth, I haven't packed either! We're doing it tonight and tomorrow.
I know, I know! I am SUPER excited, but i am also like, "WHERE did all the time go? It seems like just a few weeks that we've been studying!!!! xD
Well, you don't need to be packed Yet because you're not leaving till Wednesday ;) We're leaving in about 15 hours (most of which are night). xP xD
I have nothing packed xP Same as last year...=D I can manage to pack in time=)
@ZebraGirl, that's how I feel; but since I'm already packed (we're leaving tomorrow morning) I am more like "Let's leave!" ;) =P.
Isn't that 2:00 Wednesday? xP Or are my calculations that bad?
WE ONLY HAVE 34 HOURS AND FIFTEEN MINUTES!! One minute I'm like 'Can't wait for Nationals' and then the next second I'm saying 'One more week, PLEASE!!!' XP
I know! IT IT SO CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!! Especially for those who will be leaving TOMORROW MORNING :0 :O =O =0, like me.....
I am so nervous/excited/not ready/ will,you get the point. :) I just can't believe how close Nationals is!!!!!!!!!! :0
@ZebraGirl, YEAH!!!! ME TOO!!!! xD
I'M SO EXCITED!! TOMORROW WE'LL BE AT NATIONALS!!! (Proverbs 27:1). Just to be different! XD
I'LL BE IN TEXAS IN TWO DAYS!!!=O James 4:31-17? Jk, I know what you mean xP
I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOMORROW WE'LL BE IN TEXAS (If the Lord wills, James 4:31-17 =P)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay! I can't wait to see y'all!
Yup, us too! xD SEE Y'ALL DAY AFTER TOMORROW (Lord willing, James 4:13-17) xP
We're flying! It would take 20 hrs to drive, and I wouldn't like that... xP I'm so blessed to live near the airport! xD
😳=My go to emoji for the past few weeks lol
Is anyone else driving to Nationals?? We live in Houston, so it is only a several-hour drive to the hotel.
I am PANICKING! I will probably not be chatting on here anymore once nationals starts. :( But I am excited to see you all.
@Elizabeth, Yes (sorry I couldn't resist answering for Grace) =P
Do you have to drive to the Atlanta airport, Grace?
I probably won't be chatting xP
@Elizabeth, I won't be chatting on here either, =P. I can't wait to see everyone!!!!!!!!!!!
No, I won't be chatting on here...in person!!! xP And I am both PANICKING and PACKING xP xD We are leaving very early Tuesday morning....AHHHHHHHHH!!!! (We have to drive to the airport; our flight isn't early, but...)
I'm probably packing Tuesday xP I know, I know, very last minute =D I'm probably packing a little bit starting today though xP
I AM TOTALLY PANICKING!!!!!!!!! Since we're leaving day after tomorrow, I have to pack today!!!!!!
I AM VERY PANICKED!!! xP xO
(is anyone panicked yet??) XD
WE ONLY HAVE 49 HOURS LEFT UNTIL WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:O
And thanks Matryoshka! You're doing great, good!
@Grace: Thanks!! @All: Not including today, my family will arrive at Nats in THREE DAYS......AHHHH!! @Elizabeth: I'm not sure..maybe...or maybe not xP
Will y'all still be chatting during Nats? xP
I JUST WANT IT TO BE HERE!!!! xP But...I wouldn't object to a few extra days to study!!! xD
I know, that's how I feel exactly; I want it to be sooner and farther away at the same time =P
I'm leaving in 3 days not including today=O I don't want Nats to be so soon:'( I can't wait to see y'all, though!=D I'll be sad when Nats is over...=(
I know!!!!!!! We're leaving in 2 Days (not including today)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Job for reviewing all your verses, Emma! :D Oh my! It is 4 days until registration!
@ZebraGirl, there is NO way you would have done worse than I did; of course it was a Senior test. @Elizabeth, I have finished my verses (you already knew that though). @Chelsea, that would be fun! THe Q/ST/MV meeting would be a good place to meet. I said 'Hi' to you and your sister last year; but I doubt you remember because I just said 'Hi' when I was walking by.
Yes-the MV/ST/Q meeting wil be at 4:30 on Thursday by the game tables =) And I've finished the verses (but not all the Junior verses) xP
So... how many of y'all have finished the verses?
@Chelsea, we should! Perhaps we can just meet at the Q/ST/MV meeting=D I've "met" you before, but not really, so you probably wouldn't remember xP
@ Grace, yeah, but only a little xP
Could we organize a time where we could all meet? I'd really like to meet y'all!
@Elizabeth, um, you did a *little* better than she did xP And bye till then, I guess! xD
@Morgan, I probably would've done worse on that test than you did, if that's any encouragement to you. ;)
If it was bad, it wasn't bad enough to be last xP I did bad on both the tests I took=|
@Elizabeth, it was THAT bad (and I'm not telling you). Ok.
I'm getting off chat for a while... I'll get back on Saturday or Sunday=D
BTW, I'm not saying you should tell us=D
Come on, Morgan, it couldn't have been that bad=P And that DOESN'T mean you'll be last=)
Don't you dare say Grace! @Everybody, you don't need to know. I was just proving that I'll do Horrible this year.
I'll tell y'all what it was....xP It was a ##.#%! (jk Morgan-I won't say if you don't want me to; and no, all you code-breakers, it wasn't 33.3%-I just used the # symbol to represent numbers) xD And Morgan, that DOESN'T mean you'll get last place! Usually the last place person doesn't really study. @Elizabeth, Yup-see ya in a short while! I'll be frantically studying..... :P
I think I'm going to get last this year.... I just took a Senior practice test (senior because that was all Grace could find) and did HORRIBLE (don't you dare ask what the score was,because I'm not telling you) >:( :'(
IKR??? That reminds me I have to study xP See y'all in 6 days=O
AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nationals is SO CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Elizabeth!! I hope to get them there today :). Great job, everyone!
You're almost there, Emma!=D
@Grace, true=D I don't want to get first because I'll have to go to Seniors two years early=P As if I'll even make Semis anyway xP
@Morgan, that's funny xP And I wonder why we were both talking to you, Elizabeth?? Perhaps it has something to do with what you said....xD
He, He, Grace and I posted at the same time..... I was talking to Elizabeth too.
I could do worse.... like if I didn't take the test for some reason. You can't say that!
@Elizabeth, nothing is impossible with God =D Wait, why wouldn't you want to get first???? xP
I'm sure you'll do better=P I don't want to get first anyway=D
DON"T SAY THAT ELIZABETH, you never know!!!!! I'll not do much better than last year, if little.
NOOOOO!!! I will not make Semis, because the test is so much harder this year xP Even if I make Semis, I'll be eliminated=( And NEVER first=D
I think Morgan will do better, especially since she studied harder this year=P
WAIT A MINUTE ELIZABETH! That is NOT what it means....xP You could easily make semis, and then make finals, and then get first..... xD You never know! And it doesn't mean Morgan will do better either. xP
Yes, which means you will do better than last year and I will do worse=D
Ok, last year is not this year =P
@Mogan, uggghh, I hate it when that happens>:| AND LAST YEAR IS NOT THIS YEAR!!!=D @Brianna, thanks!=D
Now I'm second. I should be ahead of Elizabeth, but it doesn't count all my verses as current even though they are.
@Morgan, IF I do get 65 for some odd reason, it will NOT be because this year is last year....xP
Elizabeth, you have reviewed all your verses! Great Job!
@Elizabeth, true, true...I guess you could be a C xP @Morgan, this year ISN'T last year, and it never will be. Even if you got 114th again (which I sincerely doubt), it wouldn't mean that this year will be the same...I mean, look at me! The past two years I have gotten 32 in locals. Does this mean that this year I will get 65 again at Nationals??? I hope not, as I've studied harder this year, BUT I am not groaning and moaning because I could possibly get 65 again...so you shouldn't either! xD (now am wondering if I will get 65 at Nationals...thanks a lot, Morgan!!!) xP
Fine. Shh..... I got (horrors) 114th place =O!!! I just hope that this year isn't last year......
Tell us, Morgan!!! I won't laugh=P
@Elizabeth, I hope I'll do better, my 'letter' leaves me a LOT of room to improve from last years score. @Grace, should I tell them????????????
Aww, come on, Morgan xP Last year is not this year=D I'm sure you'll do better this year=P And last year you didn't have all the passages memorized, and this year you you do...=P
@Grace, if I ranked 31 I would be C...=P
@Grace, you could, and then everybody would know how bad I'm going to do this year...... They really don't need to know.... But if they want me to I will tell them. @Everybody, just picture one of the lowest scores you can think of :P
@Morgan, should I say??? xP @Elizabeth, I definitely agree with your letter (except for the C part... jk)
@Matryoshka1, don't worry about it :P You'll be first when all my verses aren't current later today. @Grace, I'd say E; at the highest, Maybe D if I was lucky. I thought I studied hard last year and you know what I got....... And NO everybody else who is dying of curiosity, I'm not telling you what that was.
I should be B or perhaps C=D
Congratulations, Morgan. :D :D Oh No! I am in second place! ;) As for the ranking, based on my improvement and locals score, I should just make B. :)
OK, here's the question; At Nats, do you think you will rank; A. In the top 15 B. In the top 30 C. In the top 50 D. In the top 75 E. In the top 100 F. In the top 120. Select the smallest bracket that you think you could be ranked in (i.e. NOT 120 if you think you will get better than that...) PLEASE make these realistic estimates. Don't just say you will be in the top 120 to be funny, or because you don't think you'll make semis....xP Realistically, I will probably be in between letters B and C. Elizabeth, I think you will be at LEAST a B, perhaps an A! xD And please don't be so negative, guys! You have a WHOLE WEEK left to study! xP
@Morgan, congrats! @Elizabeth, HOLD IT!!!! I agree that I don't have proof that you memorized all of the passages, but would you actually lie to us?? I mean, you know what all those verses in the Bible say about liars!!!! =O I am taking your word for it, in which case you have a MUCH better chance than a -5. Alright everybody, since y'all are so negative (literally!), I think i need to ask a new question. Since this post is long, look for it in the above post. =)
Thanks, guys (or I should say gals :P)!
@Morgan, I'll see you faint at Nats xP You have no proof that I memorized all the passages.....=P
Yay, congrats Morgan!🎉🎉🎉I knew you could do it!=D
BTW, they won't be current tomorrow......
All my verses are current!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even though they are not all showing up; it says I have 788 current instead of the 795 I should have current :( But, I'm sure you'll still count it as me getting 4th (or was it 5th; I'm losing track)?
@Matryoshka1, you still have a week to get those passages word perfect. Besides, there is no -5..... @Elizabeth, If you don't beat me I would be shocked; in fact I would faint. Because not only would I have to do really well you would have to do bad. Anyone taking the test has more than 0 chance... so you do too. Besides, I KNOW you have been studying at least a little bit. People don't memorize all their passages without work.
Well, Morgan, last year is not this year xP I didn't study xP There, I have a 0 chance=D
I think that my chances are probably -5, because I do not know some of my short passages word-perfect, and that is something I would need to know to get to Semi's. :/
ELIZABETH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You made it to FINALS last year!!!!! What makes you say -3?????????????? You can say, "I didn't study." Even if you 'didn't study' you would do better than a -3 since 0 is the worst you can do :P Besides, you memorized ALL the verses........ I wouldn't call that a -3 chance......
After seeing Chelsea's post, I change my number to -3 xP
Ok then, a 2 (since you know how hard (or not) I have been studying). @Grace, that might be accurate; I'd put you at a 4-5.
@Elizabeth, a 4? xP @Morgan, a 1 is "didn't study at all, so no way!"-I would say that you are at least a two!!!! xD
@Elizabeth, maybe a 1????? I would say zero, but there is always a very small chance that I could (even though I won't) make it to semis. The change that I would make it to semis would be that everybody did horrible and that they asked exactly what I know; verses included. What would you say as for you?
On a scale of 1-10, do y'all think you'll make Semis? =P
That has not been specified either =)
Thanks Brianna! Do you know when and where the details will be released? xP
Someone said on MV that Carissa is planning it, but hasn't released the details yet. :)
Has the Quizlet/ST/MV Meeting been planned? =P
Sounds like we're all in the same boat xP
Exactly! =P We 'can't' wait, but want to wait at the same time ;) (at least for me)!
hmmm that's hard... A( even though I probably could wait xD)Maybe B, some F, and D (although I shouldn't xP), and G:
@Elizabeth, that is the same as me! xP
Um... Okay, I think I'm A, B, D, and F=D
Hmm.... toughie.... I would say I am G. Meaning. that I would say that I am VERY excited for Nationals when I think about packing and such but when I recite I wish it wasn't for another month :P So probably A,B,D, and some of C. As for F.... I can't wait to see all the people I've 'met' on the internet (if I actually have enough nerve to 'meet' them (even though they don't bite; I think)) :P ;) and I can't wait to see all the people I saw and talked to last year! =D =P I know, I'm everything; which is why I'm glad that it is when it is! Because if it was sooner I would be very unhappy about not getting these last study days and if it was farther away I would be sad that I would have to wait longer till I got to meet everybody.....
I DUNNO, BUT IT IS!!!! xP OK, I am going to ask everyone a question. Which one of these describes you? A. Can't wait till Nationals arrives B. Excited, but could wait an extra week for more study time C. Who cares about studying? I'm going for the party! D. Oh, I gotta CRAM! E. Um, November already? I guess that means Nationals is approaching F. Can't wait to see all my friends! G. None of the Above (please specify what, then; make up your own letter) xP You can put a mixture of letters, cause it is hard to describe all in one! Case in point: I am like a mixture of D and A (with a little of F and B thrown in) xP. Guess I can't really describe my feelings cause I change constantly (depending on what I'm thinking about!)
Actually, all my verses were current in the morning xP WHAT?!?! How can Nationals be soooooo close?! =D
NOW I can't beat you, Elizabeth, unless your verses drop xP Go for it! xD @Morgan, STOP REMINDING ME!!!! (JK) x)
Your'e very close, Elizabeth! So is Nationals!!!!!!! I can't believe that we're leaving in 9 days!!!!!!!!!
@Grace, true, but I reviewed a few passages xP I hope it get all my verses current today!
@Elizabeth, only cause I let some of my verses drop while I was busy doing other stuff x( xP
Wow, I'm ahead of Grace!=D Thanks for rooting for me, Morgan!=P
@Grace, Thanks! @Elizabeth, Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're ahead of Grace (sorry Grace; I'm rooting for Elizabeth)!!!!!!!!!
@Morgan, you can do it! @Elizabeth, perhaps :P
@Grace, now I am going to beat you (hopefully)!
@Grace, not anymore xP @Morgan, don't worry! Once you are good enough at your passages to have them not be locked on daily review, you'll be able to do it!=P
@Elizabeth, oh really??? xP @Morgan, cheer up! I'm sure you'll get them all current before Nationals =)
Now I have to review ALL of my new verses again..... so I'll probably never get them all reviewed at the same time.
Now I'm ahead of you by 11 verses!=P
Oh oh....I'd better review, cause you're ahead of me by 3 verses! xP
Beware, Grace!=P I am starting to review now!=D
I know! xP It was reaaaally hard for me to get all the verses current=P
I'm trying to work hard; it's just so difficult....
Yeah, Suzanne, they've said it quite a few times already=P
Work as hard as you can Morgan!=P
@Suzanne, come on! We've said it like at least twice before...you need to be more observant xP @Morgan, I know, I know. Just work hard =)
@Grace, I'm trying, But because I have all my new ones on 1 day lock so I can know them better they all need to be reviewed every day..... @Suzanne, Yes, Grace is my sister. I don't know why you didn't know that.
WAIT MORGAN IS GRACE'S SISTER???????????? WHY DID I NEVER KNOW THAT???????????? 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
@Elizabeth, that is correct! So Morgan, better start reviewing! xP
Once you win you will be ahead of Grace=P
@Morgan, I hope it is! And yeah, you'll pass me sometime before Nationals once you get all your verses current x)
Wait a minute. I'm wondering if it is counting all the verses I just reviewed as current; because I should have more current that that. I don't know, maybe not. @Grace, I'll pass you someday.
@Elizabeth, he he he...Look who is ahead by almost 100 verses now!!! xP @Morgan, you could if you review! Especially me, cause this is all the verses I can have current without memorizing the Junior passages (which I am NOT going to do at the moment) xD
I wish I could beat you both.......
Thanks, Morgan!=D I hope to review more now....=D See if you can beat me, Grace!=P
@Elizabeth, perhaps xP @Morgan, WHAT???? :P (jk)
@Grace, Nope. You're not a Junior. Good Job at still being ahead, Elizabeth!
You probably will later=P
Morgan, can't you root for your own sister????? xP @Elizabeth, not at the moment, as I have to stop :( I was so close to beating you, too. Maybe later this afternoon! xD
Review Elizabeth!!!!! She's catching up.....
NOOOOOO!!!!! xP You'll probably beat me=(
@Elizabeth, >:| (jk) :P Now, I am reviewing a little bit-maybe I'll be able to beat you. We'll see. Depends on how much time I have (like it always does!) xD
I really need to review...
Mwahahahaha=P Grace has to wait to review more xP
@Elizabeth and Morgan, you gotta get there first! xP And unfortunately, I don't have time to review any more, so guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow to beat Elizabeth xD
Ditto (to Elizabeth- minus the 'again')!
Ditto to Morgan xP @Grace, haha, well, when I have all my verses current again, you won't be able to beat me, 'cause you don't have all the Junior passages=P
Ha ha Morgan...I see your evil plan. However, unfortunately for you, I happen to be reviewing verses right now (that is, after I'm done typing this!). So, you'll have to work fast to catch up!! xP And beware, Elizabeth; I approach! :P
Actually, so was I, but not when I was typing that.....
You'll beat her soon, Morgan!=P I know.... xP *follows Morgan's example and runs off to study* I was already studying though=D
This is sad.... Grace has more verses current then me and she's not a Junior:P Nationals is so close *Runs of to go study*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is ok, Suzanne, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!! =D
YOU CAN DO IT, SUZANNE!!! GJ Morgan!
GO SUZANNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't worry ; you'll finish them soon =D. I'm fourth now =)
Now I'm the only one who hasn't finished their verses 😢
@Brianna, probably so xP @Morgan, don't worry about it! Everybody gets their verses down at some point! xD
Thank you everybody!!!!! I really need to review too..... I'm sixth :( :/
Congratulations, Morgan!!!!!! For all of us height worriers, they will probably switch us around if any gross miscalculations were made (or if it just looks better that way ;)
GREAT JOB MORGAN!!!! I really need to review. I haven't been measured in a while, but I'm about 4 ft 5 (I hope I calculated right??)
YAY, CONGRATS MORGAN!!! WOOHOO!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I TOLD YOU THAT YOU COULD DO IT!!!=P
CONGRATULATIONS MORGAN!!!! xDDDD OK, now I have to come up with a new one...xP Hmmmm...How about, *shouts "Huzzah!" loudly at the same time as spraying silly string over Morgan's head* xP (No, all you curious folks out there, I didn't actually do it. Alas, I don't have silly string at the moment! xP)
I FINISHED MY VERSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Getting them reviewed is a different story....
YOU CAN DO IT, MORGAN!!!=D
I think she is *almost* done, but not quite! xD
@Morgan, are you done with the verses?=P
Probably xP Unless they only measure when they go to the doctor=P
I think it happens to nearly everybody xP :P =P ;)
Yeah, that happens to me too xP
@Matryoshka1, that always happens to me when I get measured; I get called several different heights until I get measured a bunch of times.
You can do it, Suzanne! My Dad measured me and said I was about 5' 6", but when my Mom measured me she said I was 5' 4". Then she said she was rechecking my height (or the mark of my height on the wall) but I don't know what she got or what height will be sent in.
Yes, KEEP WORKING Suzanne and Morgan! You are close to being finished =D You can do it!
That's about my height Elizabeth, I haven't been measured for a long time though..... GO Suzanne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really need to review my verses; but I'm not going to until I finish my verses.
So...... I think I'm somewhere between 5 ft 2 in and 5 ft 3 in=P
You can do it Suzanne! xP
ok I have 336 more verses to memorize. Or at least that's what the calculator said but I'm very sure that I memorized more than that..... Still a lot of verses to memorize though 😩
Hmmm...could be! I think, though, that they will use everyone's heights to line us up for the opening ceremony so that they don't have a repeat of last year's late-night line ups xP I am around 5 foot 7 (probably closer to 5 foot 6) xD
almost 5.1 I think the oral groups are according to height.
Um...... 5 ft 3 in. How about you? I really am wondering who I'll be next to in the opening ceremony.....
HOW TALL ARE YOU??????????????????? (I'm serious)
We're driving in on the 14th. It's a little too close for comfort... XD
I passed Emma!!!!! Even if Elizabeth passed me.... :/ We're flying out the 14th.... ohh...... so close....
Yeah, Zebra Girl is Chelsea=D Are you racing, Suzanne?=P I'm flying out on the 15th!=O
is zebra girl Chelsea?? When are you guys flying out?
I passed Morgan and Emma! How in the world did that happen?!?! xP xD
Are Suzanne and Chelsea racing? xP @Suzanne, you better review more or Chelsea will pass you!=P
@Elizabeth, Oh ho! You were encouraging Suzanne to beat Morgan, and now Morgan has beat you xP Y'all are doing great- KEEP IT UP! (Galatians 6:9)
I re-passed you again Elizabeth =D
She can...........but I'm working on reviewing my verses......
Suzanne, I know you can beat Morgan!=P
You can do it, Suzanne! Great job-keep up the good work! xD
You're doing great Suzanne! Now pass me (which really wouldn't be hard at the moment).....
Sorry!=P I forgot that you said that xP =D
stop asking me!!! I said I'll count on Sunday!
@Morgan, I know how you feel=P Yay, Suzanne! Congrats! Keep it up! How many verses do you have left?
IM SECOND!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry zebra girl) YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It happened because I have been very busy and have not been reviewing; instead I've been dropping verses :/ :(
I PASSED MORGAN!!!!!!! xD How did that happen?! xP
Haha, because I don't want to say the same thing over again xP
Oh, y'all are such copycats!!! Why can't you come up with your own words to say? xP xD (jk) :P
Yeah, it happens to people at random...xP That's too bad, though, that you can't fix it. Oh well! You're still top on the group anyway, since no one else has that many verses current xD
Awww, bummer!>:( I think that has happened to me before..... xP
Thank you, Elizabeth! All my verses count as memorized on this group. I also deselected all the collections and reselected them, and they all showed up as being memorized. Thanks for the suggestions, though.
Yay, Brianna! Great job!=D
Pretty much all of the verses in this group are showing as current for her, so only a few passages aren't showing up. All you need to do to see if what Morgan diagnosed as the problem is correct is to go, on this group, to the "memory verse" tab, click on each individual collection, and see if all the passages have a red check by them. If they do, then what Morgan said is not what the problem is and I wouldn't waste anymore time on it xP If not, then memorize those few passages and your problem will be fixed xD
@Matryoshka1, I just thought of a reason why all you passages are not showing. If you memorized your passages in another collection besides the ones in this group, this group probably doesn't count some of the ones that you memorized in the other collection as memorized, because a comma or something is different; at least that's what happened to me. Unfortunately, that means that to get them all current you have to memorize this group's passages again and have the new ones reviewed. I don't know if that is the cause; but you should at least check to see if this group counts your verses as memorized.
Are Suzanne and Chelsea (ZebraGirl) racing? If not; I knew I would be last.....
@Grace, I kept all my verses current as I memorized them. Thanks, Everyone! :)
@Morgan, she got them all current after she memorized them, if I was guessing xD You'll have to clarify, Brianna xP
GREAT JOB, BRIANNA!!!!!!!! xD
Ok, but if she didn't have them memorized how could she have them all current; Unless she just got them all current? Or did she mean she got them all current not memorized (finished could really mean either)?
@Morgan, I think she already did (remember, they weren't showing up for her?).
GREAT JOB BRIANNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a feeling you're going to get 3rd; and review your verses before I finish mine.
CONGRATULATIONS MATRYOSHKA! Let's see....I already used a bucket of ice water, as well as confetti... Ah ha! *comes in with a delicious looking cake, covered in candles that are singing "congratulations to you"* xP xD Really, though, Brianna, Great job!!!! xD
Thanks Guys! @Emma, I'll be reviewing today (I hope)...... :)
Don't worry, Morgan! ;) I won't be ahead for long :). You're doing great, Suzanne! =D
Great job, Morgan! Only a little more than 100 verses!=D
Keep persevering Suzanne! You can do it!=P
Oh No! Emma passed me again :( :/ =(
Yeah Suzanne, keep working! xD @Elizabeth, LOL xP
What????????????????? You're doing great!
looks like I'm the one most behind now :(
I still hope to finish Monday =) (or Saturday); even though I'll have to work really hard :/ :P
Thanks! I have 615 verses memorized and 106 passages (not including the locals. Not any more :) I know, if only all my national verses were current.....
Ugggghh>:( The fever of un-reviewed verses has gotten me....xP
Now Emma's ahead of you Morgan.....=P
YAY, MORGAN! CONGRATS!!!=D I knew you could do it! You're definitely almost done! How many verses have you memorized in total?=P
UR most certainly welcome xD That's what I thought xP
Thanks! (of course I have a lot of other Nationals passages memorized :P)
Great job, Morgan! (Of course, I assume you have lots of Nationals passages memorized as well, judging from the amount you have current) xD
I finished the Early Release passages and Passed Emma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go everybody, GOOOOO! xP xD
I need to hurry if I wan't to make my goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Matryoshka, when you're done and you have all the verses that ST has on your account current, then just tell us and we'll say you won=D
Oh, yeah, ditto to Grace xP I don't think there are any with all the passages=P
😕it was worth a try, I guess.
I don't think so; they are divided into locals, ER, and remaining passages collections.
Great job Suzanne and Morgan! =D You mean Quizlet, or ST? xP
Anyone have a set for ALL the junior verses??
GREAT JOB SUZANNE! Keep up the good work! =D You can do it! xD
Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!! My verses, on the other hand, are going down as I am frantically memorizing verses. I passed Elizabeth, though.
yay!! my verses are going up!! though I need 100 more verses current to be second
please join my group named love ❤️
Hopefully it'll work out soon xP @Elizabeth, See? UR motivating her without even trying xD
That is strange..... @Elizabeth, not for long (I hope).
I don't know.... Emma and me both got to 793, so I have no idea xP Maybe ST has some glitches on your account =(
Hello, while I was working on ST yesterday, I have noticed a problem. I have selected all three collections on this group, and have memorized most of the passages. However, when I add the number of verses I have memorized to the verses I have yet to memorize, they do not add up to 793. Have any of you noticed this, or am I completely overlooking something and making myself look like a fool?
Wow! I'm ahead of Morgan! I didn't eve review.....=P
Personal preference, I would say xP
Recorders work really well for me, so..... I guess it's just your personal opinion! =P
Yeah, a recorder has never worked super well for me (unless I record myself reading the verse really slowly and then recite with it, but that takes a LONG time. However, I know it by the time I'm done! xP). I just use ST and recite as often as I can ;)
Ditto to Grace. I have tried reciting to a recorder; but when I don't know the passages well it is hard because you can skip a line before you realize it. And for me, I learn as I'm reciting; so if no one tells me my mistakes as I'm making them I make the same mistakes over and over......
You could record yourself reciting like I do when no one can help me=P
Yes, cause reciting is more important x) However, if (like me) you don't have an opportunity to recite, ST is the next best thing :)
Oh, that makes sense xD Those are my top priorities x) Congrats 🎉on beating Emma! =D
I meant that it makes more sense for you to recite and study Colossians then to review on ST.
? I'm confused about 'that makes more sense for you'. xP
Thanks! That makes more sense for you.
Great job Morgan! xD I actually know I'm not going to review more this time; I need to orally review and I REALLY need to study Colossians xP
Hmm..... I wonder if I can beat Emma......
@Elizabeth, Come On! You have told me a bunch of times not to think like that! You could beat me very easily. Grace is correct; I just reviewed my last nationals passage (until tomorrow). So what I have current is how many I have memorized. I think that is 508 verses including locals and 483 verses (not locals); and about 90 passages (not locals) and 104 including locals!
I'm pretty sure that she has all her Nationals passages current right now ;) So, that's how many she has memorized! And I am glad, Elizabeth, that it is working now! xP
I'm glad it's working! =D I'm not going to review a lot today though xP
Morgan has waaayyyy too many verses for me to beat her xP How many verses have you memorized anyway, Morgan? xD
I'm soooooooooooo sorry....... to bad you can't review any :( :P ;)
Ugggghh, the app is messing up x( xO
Haha, yeah, I'm going to review some now! xP
Great job, Morgan! xP @Elizabeth, you'd better review a little bit to give her some more motivation :P xD
Come on everybody! Keep working hard! You can do it! xD
Congratulations, Grace! :D
Thank you so much, everybody =D
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay, Grace! Great job!!! I'm so happy for you!!!=D
I FINISHED ALL MY PASSAGES!!! =D I am very excited about this, as you can probably tell =P And, all you who have not yet finished, keep pressing forward! You can do it! And it is totally worth it to finish them all... xP xD
xP xD WORK hard, Morgan =)
DITTO TO ELIZABETH!!!! XP Honestly, Morgan, if you don't think you'll make it then you won't, because instead of working harder you'll be like, "Ah, I can't make it anyway." So, GET CRACKING! xD xP
I'll try........................ But I don't think I'll make my goal....
MORGAN! STOP SAYING THAT! xP IF YOU'RE BEHIND SCHEDULE THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! xP xD
@Everybody, you're doing great. Matryoshka or someone else is going to get 3rd; because I'm really behind schedule :/
Thank you Emma and Grace! :)
Thanks, y'all!! @Grace: I do ESV ;). @Matryoshka: You're almost there! Great job everyone!
Yup-NKJV =D @Emma, great job! You too, Elizabeth and Matryoshka! And Matryoshka, you are so close! You can do it =D
Great job Emma! You've almost gotten all your verses current again! xD
We use NKJV (sorry, I couldn't resist answering for her).
@grace, what version do you use?
I have had a lot of tribulation and perseverance; so now it's time to hope (jk)
Now Morgan, you have it backwards! xP After all, "Tribulations produce perseverance, and perseverance character, and character HOPE..." :P First you need to persevere through the tribulation and get character... (jk; actually, I am glad that you are at least hoping to meet your goal, not like, "I won't make it." Seriously, you can do it if you persevere, so have no fear!) xD
Yes you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU CAN DO IT SUZANNE!!!!!!!!!!!!=D=D=D
@Suzanne, that's not too bad! You can still do it =)
Certainly you can! For if you will persevere, you will conquer (never fear!). =D
I'm sure you'll finish=D I just know you can do it=P
I can only try and hope to succeed :P
Nice goal, Suzanne! I am glad to see that you have one =) @Morgan, you'll do wonderfully, i'm sure-don't worry about it. Just work hard +D
I have to memorize a bunch of verses per day to finish on time, so......
Nice! How many do you have left?
my goal is 20 verses per day, finish any time before nationals???
Exactly=D If you did your best, you can be happy with that=) But if you waste time on this group saying pessimistic things, you know it was your own fault for not finishing.......=P
Don't sound so skeptical of your abilities, Morgan! If that is your goal, then work toward it, and DON'T give up. Just keep pressing forward and work as hard as you can-that is all you can do, anyway xD
I plan to finish............. by Nationals.......... Actually, I plan on finishing the 30th (of October). I hope I can finish by then, but I don't know......
@Elizabeth, YES! Ditto, Ditto, DITTO! xP I (although you already know this) am planning on finishing this Friday (the 20th) =D And to add to what Elizabeth said, don't say that you plan to finish sometime next year, either! xP
When are y'all planning to finish? Don't tell me you don't plan to finish ever, and don't tell me you don't have a goal xP
Well, Morgan, you'd better start reviewing! x) And know that yours are not the only ones dropping-mine are as well =|
My verses are dropping... :(..... :/....
Oh, that makes more sense.............
Me too xP @Morgan, I think Suzanne meant "What?" as in, "I'm not gonna beat you!" :P
@Suzanne, What, what???????????? I agree with Elizabeth. I only do ST when my family is not available to recite (which is a lot).
Yeah, it is more practical to orally review, so I would make that a priority=D I only do ST if there's extra time=D
@Morgan, what??? hopefully I can review more on ST, I try to review orally more 'cause I think it's more practical.
I'm voting for Matryoshka too=D Keep it up, everyone!=P
I am voting for Matryoshka, cause she's currently the closest-that could change quickly, though! So that means, everybody, to keep working HARD!!!!! xP
Me neither! Especially because I wan't to know if Matryoshka1, ZebraGirl, or Suzanne are going to beat me.......
I can't wait to see who gets third!=D
You know what I'm gonna say, Emma... so I just won't say it xP (OK, maybe I'll say part of it; don't just SAY...) :D
Great job, Elizabeth!!!!!! Now I'm eager to see who gets third ;-) great job everyone! I really need to review... :/
Thank you Elizabeth! Congratulations on getting second!!!!!!!!!!!
xP And thanks Elizabeth! (of course, you are not referring to me as I am not planning on memorizing all of the Junior passages in addition to the Senior passages) xD But, I couldn't help it :P
Thanks!=D Y'all are almost there!=P
Hurray! Congratulations Elizabeth! (handing you a dry towel and rubbing you off vigorously.) xP
Yes, I believe she did finish =D Congratulations, Elizabeth! You did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =) *Dumps a bucket of ice water over Elizabeth's head and screams loudly* xP
So do/did you have all them current???????????? Did you get second???????????? Great Job, BTW!
Thanks!=D Now I have 793 current, I had 792=D
Yes, she is Very Close; Ummmmmmm actually; didn't she already get second? it says that she have 792 (it did say 793) current. Everybody is so close (well besides Emma; since she already won)
Great job, Elizabeth!! You're so close!! =D
Racing with us, (my previous post wasn't really clear=P
@Suzanne and Chelsea, are you racing?=P
@Chelsea, I don't think you did xP I mean, that should be even MORE motivating (hint hint everybody) xD And yes, I am very excited and can hardly wait (the only reason I can wait is because I have studying to do) x)
Me too! I want more time to study, but I can hardly wait!
I'm really excited too!!!!!!!!!!! I'm at the stage where I wish it was farther away and sooner at the same time; which means that it is good that it is when it is :P ;)
I know! I can hardly wait :D
It's only four weeks left! I know Nationals is soon when the mall by our house puts up Christmas decorations........
xP Y'all are doing great-keep up the good work =D
@Emma, I hope so...... @Everybody, keep up the good work =) @Grace, that was an great and unforgettable speech..............
Thank you, Emma. Basically, I know the ones that overlap x) And yes, great job everybody-keep working! @Elizabeth, don't worry-if you remember, my speech was not targeted at you xP Besides, if you're working as hard as you can, it doesn't apply to you anyway xD
@Grace: No problem, it really was a great speech. And great job, Grace!! You know a lot of Junior passages. :)Great job everyone!! =)
@Grace, that was an unforgettable speech, so your wish is granted=P And I say I'm going to do stuff but I don't have time, because I orally review, which I think is more important for Nats=D
Thanks Emma! xP That's kinda what I meant it to be xD
@Morgan: ;) Don't worry. You're so close that I know you will soon pass me ;) @Grace: that was a unforgettable speech xP
Awwwwwwwwwwwww, Emma passed me again :(
Review never ends, y'all, so don't be discouraged-it would be like impossible for you to have ALL of your verses current at all times. That being said, you do need to review: so do it! I'm sure you remember my soap box speech about not just SAYING that you need to do something but DOING it, and what I said if you don't have time. Just work on it whenever you can, and before you know it all your verses will be reviewed again! xD
@Elizabeth: Exactly.....me too... :'-( :-1
I do too.... At one point all the verses I knew were current, and then.....
And speaking of which.. I REALLY need to review :/
Yes it is.. When I first masted my verses on ST, before I knew it they were all due again...face palm.. xP @Everybody: Great job! :D
Definitely so......................
Yup, it's a never ending cycle-the more you memorize, the more you review, and the more you review, the more you decide to memorize when you're done reviewing, and then it starts all over again....xP
Recently I went through all the verses and reviewed and memorized the ones I knew, and then the next day, more than half of them needed review again. ;)
That is what I have to do, too. It's always review and memorize, memorize and review. ;)
You're doing great! I'm attempting to memorize and review at the same time...........
Hopefully you will soon =)
I am working hard too=D I just don't have so much time for ST review:(
I'm working very hard. I am not going to tell you when I plan to finish, because it will be very hard to do................. but I hope to at least finish before nationals.......
COME ON EVERYBODY! Somebody has to get second place. Y'all need to work harder!!! xP You are going to kill me from suspense before too long.... :P And don't get me wrong-y'all are all doing wonderfully! You just need to finish so I can quit wondering who will get second and third and fourth and...xP
Thanks Suzanne! Great job on your verses too!
GOOD JOB ELIZABETH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
@ZebraGirl, no problem ;)
Of course! Great job on the GS!
@Chelsea, certainly! I'm sorry to hear that-hope y'all feel better soon! Keep working, everybody! Second place is still open to anyone...xD
Sure! I hope your family feels better soon.
Your Welcome! :P That's nice of you to say............
I finished all the verses, but I'm still far from getting second......
Well Morgan, that certainly does make it more difficult! xP
I hope so........... BTW, I just realized that I have had ALL my national passages on 'lock the review frequency ' for 2/3 days :O No wonder they were needing to be reviewed so often............ And I found out that the collection I had been using (I made one before the groups had one) didn't count some of the passages on this group (something to do with different commas, spaces, and dashes). So now I have 2 sets of most of the verses; with only one set being current. That would also explain me not having as many verses current as I should have.................... Persevere Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D
Thanks Morgan! I'm sure you'll get them back=D
Great Job, Elizabeth! My verses are dropping because I was gone all day yesterday............... :( :/ Keep working hard Everyone!
Thanks!=D Great job everyone!=D Keep persevering!
Congratulations, Elizabeth!
GREAT JOB ELIZABETH!!!! *jumps around in circles and high fives and blows a party horn while doing an extreme amount of other crazy things* Congrats! Great job everyone!
@Elizabeth, I have around 700 memorized =) And CONGRATULATIONS ON FINISHING YOUR VERSES!!!! *throws confetti wildly*
And y'all aren't the only ones who need to review ;)
I finished all the verses!
Great job, everyone! :D I really need to review :-/
Thanks everyone! @ZebraGirl: Hi Chelsea!! Welcome!
How many verses have y'all memorized?=D
Yes, welcome Chelsea! =) Keep pressing forward everybody... :+)
@ Elizabeth: Yes. @Zebra Girl: Welcome to the group
@ Grace: I did see that! I do not think I will finish until at least next week. :0
@ Elizabeth: Yes, that is her name. (I am her sister, so I know.)
Is your real name Chelsea?
Thanks Grace! You're doing great too!
WOW!! Go Elizabeth =D You're doing great! @Matryoshka, did you see that? Better study hard today! xP
Thankfully, my dad fixed my keyboard! It was out of batteries. I'm hoping to finish memorizing today! I have 24 verses left=D
@Elizabeth, Oh wow! That's too bad. Guess you'll just have to memorize instead xP
@Elizabeth, That's awful :/ (that your keyboard broke) !!!! @Suzanne, I'm glad you're working hard :) Keep working Everyone!
@Grace, I could've reviewed lots of verses this morning, but my keyboard broke down>:(
Glad I could help, Suzanne! xP @Elizabeth, its OK-just start reviewing/memorizing as hard as you can! xD @Everybody, keep working hard! Second place is still anyone's.....You can do it! =P
My verses are dropping!=O>:(
Congratulations, Emma! (Sorry, I've been off the group for the weekend.)
Good job everyone! I'm glad everyone is working hard now, (including me!!) thanks to Grace!!!
@Morgan, glad you took my speech to kardia! xP And yeah, Elizabeth... it's the "maybes" that'll get ya xD
MAYBE!?!?!? Didn't I just hear somebody saying something about you can do it.............. Congrats Emma! Good job everyone! Keep persevering!
Congratulations Emma! And Elizabeth, you can do it!!! xD
Thanks! It definitely motivated me too! I'm glad it motivated you too!
Thanks Elizabeth!! Great job! You're almost there! Thanks for doing this little challenge, it motivated me a lot :)
I hope I can get second before Matryoshka beats me.....
Congrats Emma! You're the winner!
oops *persevering... (lol)
Thanks! You're doing great, too, Elizabeth!! Keep preserve reins everyone!
Great job Emma! You're almost there!
@Elizabeth, You will...soon enough! And BTW, didn't I tell you when you said that you wouldn't be able to get your verses reviewed that it wouldn't be a problem? Now the only thing holding you back is your memorizing. xP
If only I could finish all the verses.....
I agree with Grace................. You guys are getting close; very close :P
@E&E, don't worry, it only makes it more exciting that way! If you don't have a few lead changes and ups and downs, it's not even worth waiting to see who will win! xP xD Y'all are just getting closer. and closer. and closer. and closer..... :P
Thank you, Elizabeth! You're doing great too! Don't worry, you'll catch up! ;) Great job everyone!! =D
Great job Emma! You're ahead of me now(which is bad for me though)!
That is correct; we all have what is really important :)
Keep persevering everybody! It doesn't matter who wins, because we've all studied and memorized God's word!!!!!
@Elizabeth, tut! A little thing like that doesn't matter xP (jk). Keep up the good work, everybody!
Thanks! You both are so close!!! (I am rather curious to see who wins! :P) Keep up the good work!!! =D
I haven't even finished all the verses=O
@Elizabeth: Yes you are, I won't have too much time today ;-) @Everybody: Keep up the good work! great job!
@Elizabeth: Okay okay I was exaggerating...xP More like 30 minutes xP
Thanks! I don't think so...... You couldn't have spent the whole morning..... The whole morning isn't even over yet=P
@Elizabeth: Aw thanks! I pretty much spend the whole morning typing out Job 37:1-23 xP Great job to you too! I'm pretty sure you're going to win though, Elizabeth ;)
Oh no! Emma's about to win! Great job!
Don't worry, Morgan, you'll catch back up soon (you always do, I know from experience;)
All my verses are dropping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =O :O :0 =0 :/ =/
@Morgan, you're most welcome! xP xD
Thanks for the speech Grace :P ;) *Starts to frantically study*
And yes, I was serious about spending less time on this group and using that time to memorize/review, if your chief complaint is that you don't have enough time ;P I am sure y'all are very happy that I am shooting down your excuses, but really! xP
Look, people (specifically Morgan and Suzanne)! I feel like I'm talking to the Israelites here. xP How many times do I have to tell you NOT to be so sure that you're gonna lose? Don't lose hope or stop trying, cause that ensures (like Elizabeth said) that you WILL lose. And yes, don't just SAY that you need to work harder; do it! Really, you guys need to stop lamenting about how horribly you are doing and do something about it! And, if you don't have time to do something about it, at least stop lamenting! With the time that you save by not lamenting on this group (or posting other pessimistic comments about how you are going to lose), you could probably review an 18-verse passage or {gasp!} memorize a 4 or 5 verse passage and get that much closer to winning!!!! xP xD (How is that for a soap-box speech??) =P
Don't lose hope or you'll really lose!
@Suzanne, I wouldn't be surprised if you beat me. I am trying to work harder too..................... even though it's not going very well............
You should work harder, not just say you need to work harder!
in that case, I will definitely lose. (or at least not win)
@Elizabeth, you're almost there! I really need to work harder.............. :P
@Suzanne, what Elizabeth said! Don't worry, though; I'm not racing cause I'm a Senior. All you need to do is keep your verses current as you memorize them, and when you finish memorizing, they're all current and you win! xP
We're racing to see who can memorize all the verses and get them current first=D
@Emma, Thanks! Keep studying everybody!!!!!
Okay, good to know! Thanks!
@Brianna, here's a few you forgot...(xP) >:( X_X ^3^ ^o^
U_U >"< ^0^ ^_~ :-D :[ :-() :-S :-x
+_+ ¬_¬ ;] :-] :O) :O( 8-) B-) T_T O_O ;_; ^_+ ^.^ :-3 -.- *_* =_= =.= ;O) =[ :-* -0-... With infinite variations! =P Ok, I couldn't resist; you can delete this post, admin, if you think that it is cluttering up the wall!! ;) I won't mind (and no, I didn't make all those up). xD
Hiya...been keeping up with this group every now and then and when I saw this I couldn't help contributing xD xP So yes Elizabeth they're actually called emoticons, and they're pretty much sideways faces, using letters etc. the x is just sort of like you're squinting. But there are TONS of different ones you can use, and some people are pretty creative with coming up with their own:) So that - :) - is a smile (just look at it sideways!) you can wink - ;) - grin - :D =D xD - stick your tongue out - :P =P xP - and there's tons more too =O :O :-O =0 :-0 XDD ;P ^_^ =) XP =/ :-/ :-) :-D O.o O.O ... ... ... ... ... ;)
Oh, I get it now! Are x just like eyes or something?
Ditto is what you say when you want to agree or say what others said..so when Grace said ditto to me, that meant she agreed/wanted to say what I said :) I have no idea what the difference is, just that they're different smiley faces xP
Seems like we're on a constant train of congratulations for everybody else but ourselves...which is a good thing! (Romans 12:15) xD So, ditto to Emma! xP
Go, Morgan! You can do it! @Everybody: Great job!! =D
Okay.....................
@Elizabeth, ditto ditto ditto! xP xD
Thanks Matryoshka! @Morgan, I agree with Grace, you should stop saying you won't win, because then you won't if you say so!
MORGAN! Stop saying that you can't win, because you definitely could!!! xD @Everybody, y'all are doing quite well. It'll be a close race! xP
@Emma, Thanks! @Elizabeth, I doubt it..........
@Morgan, you might win! I don't think my verses will stay current for so long... I probably will have 0 current when I finish memorizing..... @Everyone, great job! Keep persevering in studying God's word!
@Grace: Exactly! xP @Morgan: You are doing well! I think you could win! You never know what might happen ;)
@Elizabeth, I'm Trying to review and memorize more........ but I only have so much time............. @Suzanne you're doing really well! @Everyone, I think that this is a really close race; anyone can win (well, except me)!
@Emma, that's what I'm here for, right? xP
Thanks for the encouragement, Grace XD. @Everybody: anything could happen! @Suzanne:You're doing great!
Thanks! @Morgan, you should try to beat us! That will give you more motivation! You actually might win!
Wow! Congratulations Elizabeth! I didn't have enough time to get more current so I could make it hard for you to pass me :( However, I am definitely happy for you. @Emma, she hasn't won yet! You can still win xD @Morgan, you should totally be doing lots now that everybody is ahead of you by so much (except Suzanne).@Suzanne, don't worry about it! Just keep studying =) @Everybody, I am so proud of y'all! You are obviously studying hard, and that is just wonderful!
Great job Elizabeth!!! =) I just have to put my verses in ST.....:/
I'm first!!!!!! I have all my verses reviewed, so all I have to do is keep my verses current and finish memorizing!!!!!!!!!! I'm sooooo happy!!!!!!!
Oh, that's okay. Do you mean reviewed on ST?
I'm not on everyday, so I'm not able to race a lot :( right now my goal is to get all my 2017 BB verses reviewed.
Thanks Morgan! Well, if you see everyone is above you, shouldn't it motivate you to memorize more?
Okay, Almost everybody :P ;) Great Job Elizabeth!
Wohoo!!!! I finally beat Grace! It's going to be hard to beat Emma/Matryoshka (whoever is second) though.
Suzanne is under you (no offense to Suzanne)....
Everybody is hundreds of verses ahead of me :/ :(
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I should have said that=D
@Elizabeth, how wonderful! xP Glad I can motivate you...just remember that I am not a Junior, nor am I racing! xD Since you said that, I'll make sure to keep the existing verses that I have current current so that you'll have to review to beat me =P
I'm almost ahead of Grace!
Yes, great job Matryoshka!
@Grace: Thanks! Speaking of doing great, great job Matryoshka! I'm have a hard time keeping up with you. :)
@Morgan, Don't discredit yourself now; If you have that attitude, you'll never win! It is NOT outside the realm of possibility that you could win if you applied yourself diligently... so keep working!
Nope............... I still have hundreds to memorize; much less review.
Thanks Grace! @Morgan, you might be the one winning....
@Grace, If your verses drop I can pass you ;D @Everybody, You're all doing great!
@Elizabeth, great job! That's about where I am in the Senior passages =) @Morgan, why do you want my verses to drop??? xP Surely you don't care THAT much about getting ahead of me? xD
@Emma, you are doing great! Keep up the good work!
@Elizabeth, I can't stay ahead forever :P ;) Somebody should be winning soon...........not me though. I still have a LONG way to go.............
Thanks Elizabeth! But again, I'll have more to review in like, 10 minutes.. XD
Thanks Emma! Great job on reviewing your verses!
@Elizabeth: That is awesome! Great job! =D
Thanks! @Grace, I have almost 85% of the verses and 80% of the passages memorized=D
@Elizabeth and Morgan: Great job! (For getting in front of each other XD.)
I'm ahead of Morgan again!
Great job everyone! @Grace, I'm not sure, I don't even know how many passages I have left=D
Wow, I'm ahead of Elizabeth =O !!!! If only Grace's verses would drop........
@Emma, Thanks! Good Job, Grace!
I'm about 80% done with the SENIOR verses/passages xP Probably only 60% if you go by Junior passages, cause i'm not working on those!! xD Elizabeth, what percentage are you at?
@Morgan and Elizabeth: Thank you! :) @Morgan: 45/50% is very good! Great job!
@Elizabeth, I figured out that I'm about 45% done if you count by verses and 50% if you count by passages, so still a long way to go........... :( :/ @Emma, great job!
@Morgan, maybe not....... @Emma, wonderful job!
@Morgan: ditto to Elizabeth.. you never know!
Thanks everyone! Y'all are doing great too! @ Elizabeth: Yes! I finished all my passages but I still have quite a bit to perfect.
I have a LOT to memorize still......... :/
Yup, I'm voting for Emma... xP But that doesn't mean that no one else can still win... so GO EVERYBODY, GO!!! xD
@Morgan, you never know...... @Emma, great job! You'll probably win the race=D Have you finished all the passages yet?
I don't know who will win the race, but I'm pretty sure that it won't be me :P ;)
Yeah, thanks! (if that statement included me) xP Emma, great job! You're above me again =)
Thank you, everyone. You're doing great, too.
Yes! That is wonderful, Matryoshka =) Just to brief you in, I am a Senior who is the "race official" (and thus an honorary member of this group) xP Also, I am not racing because I am not planning on memorizing all the Junior passages in addition to the Senior passages =) Work hard, everybody!
You are doing really well (better then me anyway) ;) :P =)
Hi Matryoshka! How many verses have you memorized?
That sounds great! Thank you.
I'll race you (even though you will win). I guess, that the first person to have all their verses current at one time wins (if that is satisfactory to you).
Hello everyone! Can I race, too?
That's definitely true for me!
Yep! Everyone has too much to review=D
Wait, how can I be first? I have like TONS to review right now... I guess everyone else does too! xP
Happy October Everyone!!!!!!!!!!! I have soooooooooo many verses I need to review.............. Which I'm sure you can tell by my rank :/
My verses are always due when I want to review all the ERs........
Me three! xP (on the reviewing=) Great job Elizabeth! @Emma, happy October! =)
Great job, Elizabeth! Happy October everyone ;-)
Yay!!! I have over 300 verses current!
I do to............ :O :/
Yes, Great job everyone! Oh no, I really need to review...:-O
Y'all are doing great! Keep up the good work!! xD
Great Job everybody! =D I have around 450 verses and 65 passages left :/ =O! I really need to memorize!
Great job everybody =-] ! @Grace:I don't have too much time today either.
Great job everyone! =DI have 40 some passages and around 178 verses left=)
Well thank you, Emma! xP However, I don't have time to do much review at the moment, so you'll probably be ahead of me for a little while xD
OK- I have 168 verses left and 25 passages =) I am not racing y'all, though, so don't worry about it xP
@Grace, you could count...I guess. I have so many verses to review, more than half my entire collection on ST :O!!!!!!! You're all doing really well =)
Thank you Grace. But I'm sure I won't be ahead of you for long...you always seem to catch up ;-) I don't mind if you count, but I'm not sure about everyone else ;-D
Do I count? xP Oh, and great job Emma! You're ahead of me again... xD
@Elizabeth: I have 10 verses left, but still quite a bit to perfect. :-)
How many verses have y'all memorized so far?
Thanks Emma! You're doing great too!
I just reviewed so many passages!
I doubt it.................I don't have much time either........... :( :/
You'll probably pass me. my verses are going down, and I probably can only do about thirty minutes of BB today=/
I shall try to pass you back ;) :P I should have 300 verses current instead of 139............. :/
I probably won't have time to do much of anything today =\
@Elizabeth, I'm very busy to, but I'd better review my verses anyway so that it at least is a challenge for you to pass me :P ;) @Grace, I can't pass you anytime soon, I'd have to be doing REALLY well to do that :/
Haha everybody! Go ahead and make your goal to pass me...I would love to see me motivating y'all! xP After all, Emma already passed me when I let my verses get un-current. =)
My goal is to pass you, even though I'm very busy today😃
Yes! I made my goal! ;) I would say that my next goal would be to pass Grace, but I would have to memorize a LOT to do that :P
@Suzanne, I'll be last soon if I don't watch it.......... @Elizabeth, my goal for to today is to pass you; I know a mean goal, but I'll never be able to do it if you review...........
Don't worry Suzanne, you'll catch up! @Morgan, I think you will.....
@Elizabeth, I don't think so....
@Grace, thanks=D @Morgan, you're probably going to beat me sometime soon=/
@Elizabeth, great job on beating Morgan!! xP xD I mean, you're now in 3rd place-that's not too bad!!! =P
Hey, don't rub it in >:( :P I could catch up, IF I reviewed ALL my national passages. I have a bunch to review though.......
At least I'm ahead of Morgan now=P
Yup, sure enough-everybody's caught the influenza of un-reviewed verses, including myself! (I've got like 1000 to review right now). Since they are not all for Nationals, though, I haven't been reviewing them all as I haven't had the time =)
I also need to review mine! I have over 2000 verses memorized on ST, but only over 200 are current!
Sounds like a regular epidemic! xP
I really need to review mine too!
wow my verses are really going down! I need to review moreover!
I never really set a goal...........so I don't really have any thing to meet, except my quota for today =)
I haven't done much, but I'm back now, so I can start working =D
Work hard, everyone! How are your goals coming? :)
Good Idea =D I still plan to memorize at least 15 verses today :)
I might not have enough time to add ST to my goal today, so I'm just memorizing 18 verses and reviewing all the tabs I'm supposed to review today=D
@Grace, Thanks!!!!! @Elizabeth, that makes sense. I'm sure you'll be able to make it up soon. Today I'm not doing a special goal; just my regular routine.
Well, good job everybody =) @Elizabeth, I'm sure you'll be able to make it up :)
Congratulations! You had a hard goal! I met my goal expect for the memorizing part=/ I'll make it up sometime this week...... It posts one hour earlier for me.... I think because they are going by central time, probably because they are in central time... Every time I get things in my post office, there's always a little thing that says that they are in Alabama......
When you post stuff does it say it is an hour earlier then it really is/was? I noticed that, at least for me, it says that anything anyone posts says that it is/was an hour earlier than it is/was.
I made my goal!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D It was tough, and I barely made it :/ Tomorrow I'll make it a little easier :)
Thanks=) I still need to review and memorize though=/
Yes, great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D Now if I can finish my goal............
Yay! Great job, Elizabeth =D
I finished my ST goal by speaking to ST=D
Oh, I see =) I have regular ST, and have to type everything. Reviewing on ST also really helps me just after I memorized a passage to get it better, since you can't review it unless you know it well enough to pass =D
Oh, I understand=) I have ST pro, so when I speak to ST, it counts as current. I only do that when there is no one to help me recite, but other times when I use ST I type=D
I like to recite more than do ST, but it is harder for me to find someone to recite with than to review on ST.
Okay. I like to recite and do ST when I have time=D
Well, it's ambitious for me. @Elizabeth, what Grace said is correct. I do school and I mostly have them reviewed everyday (depending, of course, on if I have enough time). I'll add though, that I memorize best on ST and reviewing them really helps me to know them better before I recite.
Well actually, not ambitious as it may seem (I'm her sister xP). She doesn't have a bunch of verses to review on ST-she keeps them current every day. So, that cuts down a bunch of time...she only has to review the ones that become un-current today. Of course, the rest is slightly ambitious =) And yes, she does do school xP
Ambitious goal! Do you do school during Nats?
That's a good goal :) My goal for today is to memorize at least 20 verses, review all my verses on ST, and study Colossians for at least two hours. I don't think I can make it, but we'll see.
My goal is the memorize 18 verses, orally review all my verses for today, and get to 200 verses on ST.
Great job! I really need to go memorize now....
I made my goal, and overshot it by 9 verses!!!!!!!!! =D I always have a goal to review and memorize every day, but it doesn't always happen. Now I need to think of a new goal............
Well, great idea to start, then =)
I always have a goal to memorize verses and review every day, but I just started having goals for reviewing on ST today=D
I am glad to see y'all having goals, cause you know that if you aim at nothing, you always hit it! At least if you have a goal, you have a challenge to make it! xP @Elizabeth, that's too bad. Well, I guess you'll have to do it gradually then... keep persevering everybody! =D
My goal is to memorize my quota (15 verses) and to review all me passages (I only have one that I memorized Saturday and haven't reviewed since). I'd better get working, otherwise my goal will not be met :P
Yay! I reached my goal! I really need to memorize new verses now:)
My goal for today is to beat Suzanne, unless she reviews more=D
I don't have trouble memorizing and orally reviewing, but a have LOTS of trouble reviewing on ST=/
My problem is memorizing, not reviewing :/
I'm trying to slowly start reviewing them, so when I'm finished, I won't have much left to review!
Okay..... I don't know....... My daily review tab in my review system has lots of cards, so I spend a long time reviewing..........
@Elizabeth, all you need to do is memorize them all, and then once you're finished review them all at one time (it's quick if you just start at the top of the collection and work your way down; that is, if you know them). Then, you'll have them all current! It doesn't matter if they're not current for more than a day... the thing is just to have them current! xD
I don't think so Morgan...... I have limited time on electronics, so I'm not sure if I can get them current by Nats:/
@Elizabeth, we'll see, but I still think you'll beat me. @Grace, I'm quite aware that you are now first.....But unless I memorize all my verses and get them current I won't pass you.
Oh my! Boy, you guys need to get working... I have like 2X as many current as you do, and I'm not even a Junior... xP
OK, great =) Get going everybody...Who knows how fast everyone else'll finish??? xP xD
@Morgan, I don't think everyone will beat you...... I probably won't beat you=P @Grace, you can join if you still want to=D I think there should be 793 verses on this group=)
@Grace, It's fine with me if you join, even though you are a senior. I do not know for sure how many verses there are, I think that there are somewhere around 792 verses.
Ah Morgan, you can't give up before you've even started!! xP So yes, I'll be the race official.... Is it OK if I join as an honorary member so that I don't have to search for the group all the time? Also, does anyone know exactly how many verses are on this group? =)
I'll race you too Emma, but I know everyone will beat me ;)
Yes, we're trying to get all the verses current. I guess we've already started=D I think once someone gets all of them, then they win, and everyone else can keep racing! And if people are still not done by Nats, they didn't finish the race. I hope that makes sense=P
@Elizabeth: Yes I did. Just to confirm: We are seeing who can get all (or was it the most) verses current in this group, right? Also, when are we starting and when are we finishing? :-)
@Emma, great! I'm assuming you read about what we're doing for the race in the previous comments?
@Elizabeth: Sure! @Suzanne:Hi!
@Suzanne and Emma, do y'all want to race?
@Emma, my studying is also going OK.
@Elizabeth, Yes, Definitely Current, Grace can be the race official if she wants :P Hi Emma! My studying is going OK too.
Hi Elizabeth! My studying is going OK. How is your studying going? :-D
Hi Emma! How's your studying going?
We should definitely do current! @Grace, you should be the race official if Morgan agrees=P
Couldn't resist, guys, to see how many you had so far xP I think that y'all should race! Memorize, memorize, memorize...and review! I'll be the race official... xP xD On your mark, get set, GO (tomorrow)!!!! =P
Ooh, yes, let's do Current! That way we both can be motivated.
We could say whoever has all the passages on this group mastered first wins=D Or, whoever gets them all current first...... That would be really motivating for me!
I know, I'm trying to work on the short ones now. The longest passage I have left is 15 verses, so most of the really long ones I know. We should start Monday, I guess we could say that the first one to finish wins. Finished, meaning all the passages mastered on ST or whatever you count as memorized.
Daily challenges might be more motivating.... Just tell me what you think is best=P I'm fine with anything=D
They might ask the ones you know........ You should focus on the short ones, because they have a higher chance of being called:P Or if you want to get the long ones down, you could get the longest five passages too=D We could race starting tomorrow? Or Monday? And how should the race work? I am usually shy among people I don't know, so I was too scared. I can recite passages without being scared, because I'm not directly talking to people=D
IF they ask the ones I know, which is doubtful. We can race, I know you'll win, but it would still be a little motivation. Same here, I am usually not shy, but I was too scared :(
Last year, I wanted to say something, but I was too scared:/
Well if they tell you to recite the ones you've memorized, then you can get it perfect! Do you want to race?
This year I hope we actually meet. Even though last year you could technically say we did, but it was at the ST Quizlet meeting and I timidly said "Hi" and I think you said "hi" back then we walked away.
Current maybe, but memorized..... I hope to finish them all 2 weeks before Nationals, IF I memorize around 15 verses a day. That is what I said last year.......sigh........And since I still have school to do....... Though, most of the ones I've memorized I know nearly perfectly. I know, it's better to memorize all of them, THEN get them perfect. You're doing really well!
You definitely have a lot more verses current than me=D
That's not very bad! That's really good! And even if it doesn't seem like a lot, just remember that outside of Bible Bee, people don't even like memorizing one verse! I've memorized around 500 verses. I'm not sure how many though.
Not very many.... I'm not sure I should say because it's reeeeeaaaallly bad.... Ok, around 227 verses and 46 passages. How many have you memorized?
How many verses have you memorized?
Hi Morgan! The Counting Group helped me last year too. I really need to review my verses too.....................
Hi Elizabeth! The Junior Counting Group really helped me last yer. If only I can review my verses.....
