Countdowns

12 hours 30 minutes 29 seconds!!!!!

Just about 8 hrs left!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uh-oh! I'm getting the butterflies!

Looks like I'm not the only person that's jumping-up-and-down excited about the Bible Bee! My countdown is until 7:30 tomorrow morning, which is when I expect everyone in our family will be up and we can go to the website. Less than 16 hours!!!!!!!

"Uh-oh! I'm getting the butterflies!"

I'm getting them too :) I'm really excited, but thinking about all the school work left to do, I could wait for a little while longer…

…but, I am still thrilled that it's less than a day! :)

[Reading through it, it sounds very contradicting….oh, well :P]

Ackkk I can't believe that Bible Bee starts tomorrow already! It seems like just yesterday that it was BB's first year, haha. :)

Ditto on everything you just said… especially the extra schoolwork part. :D And…

Hey, @all!!! We just GOT OUR BOX!!! I didn't think it was supposed to come until tomorrow!!!! Only problem - my Dad works from 3pm until mid-night, so we can't open our box until tomorrow. :( But - something to look forward to, I guess. I TOTALLY CAN'T WAIT TO OPEN IT!!!!!!!! ;D

Uh…sorry, Nicolas! I know how you feel. Do you know when you'll finish school? Hopefully, I'll finish school by the end of June (but math might go into July), and then after I finish 10th grade (what I'm working on right now), I'll start right away on 11th grade.

Neat, @Bethany! So excited for you….looking forward to getting ours tomorrow :)

Uh, though I'm embarrassed to say this, I don't think I'll finish school until the end of the summer. :} I'll probably go straight into the next grade (10th) as well. Oh, and…

I'm getting butterflies too! :( :) I am SOOO excited!

Don't feel embarrassed :) Actually, everyone else in my family is pretty much done except me…so it's just me left working away on it. I am quite excited about finishing it, and starting 11th grade (and working on Bible Bee and doing a study in our Church). So, you're a year ahead in school? You're 14 finishing 9th going into 10th; and I'm 16 finishing 10th and going into 11th. Neat! Keep up the good work.

1 hour and 52 minutes!!!!!! :D are any of you going to able to sleep tonight? :D

We shouldn't be counting to midnight, because how many of us are going to be memorizing at midnight tonight? ;)

Hey, midnight out there is only 9:00pm here. :)
1 hour!!!!!!! 20 minutes!!!!!!!!! 58 seconds!!!!!!!!

I'm super excited, but I know what you mean about school…at least it's only a hundred verses this year!!! It would be hard otherwise, cuz, yeah, I'm not finishing anytime soon. :)

Anyone else excited, besides me?!

:) Bible Bee, here we come!

-1 hour!!!! :) I think they'll announce it at a "reasonable hour" tomorrow morning! I'll have to get up early. :D\

Excited???? I'm beyond excited! :)

Sorry, I'm not allowed to stay on the computer until midnight, but if I was, this is what I would have said…

YES!!! TODAY IS THE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

But I don't see anything on the website! :(

@ Sarah Eddy: Hey sis! I'm excited to!

:/ Sis? I know not of what you speak. Besides, this thread is for counting down to various milestones of the Bible bee, not random chat between acquaintances.

Hee, Hee. }:)
( since you don't know a lot about emoticons, the one above is an evil grin.) Muhahaha….
EDIT: Sis is short for sister.

hee. hee. Rebekah, Rebekah, how did I know that that would be your reply? I know too much about for your own good.

(For your own knowledge, I am well versed in the various emoticons and their purposes, I simply prefer to use them sparingly. Personal preference.)

Hee, Hee…….. :P
(Madi's favorite…)

YUP!!! :P that's my fav… :P

Less than two months until Locals! When you think about it, it really isn't that long.

Oh, my! I have a lot of work to do, to be ready for locals. Wow, the time is sure flying by! Last year, it seemed like forever till locals happened :)

I know! =)

I can't wait.

Thursday evening two days ago marked the half-way point of our Bible Bee study period. Now is a good time to make sure you are roughly half done with all that you aim to accomplish before Locals. If you're behind, make it a priority to catch up! Who's getting really excited for Locals?

I'm really excited….and really nervous too.

Oh. Wow. Time flies, that's for sure! I knew that Locals was coming up fast, but not that fast :) Before you know it, we'll be saying it's tomorrow!

But, yes, I'm really looking forward to Locals…I do have some more studying to do, but should (hopefully) have everything perfected by then!

Keep up the hard work, everyone!

I am VERY excited about Locals…but every time I think of it, I get butterflies! And when I think of the Wednesday after locals, I have even MORE butterflies! :p :)
I have 6 cards left :)

"And when I think of the Wednesday after locals, I have even MORE butterflies! :p :)"

Same here, Rachel! =D

i have flutteres a lot only memorised 7 cards i wish they did 100 1 verse cards not 25 long ones

I am really looking forward to locals!! I can't wait! And i get nervous every time! Haha! :) It would be nice if they did that but i kinda like the long ones too! And it's fine that you only have 7! That's probably about what i had last year :)

I wish they did that too.

I think that it is much better the way they did it. If they didn't, we would have to memorize 100 references!! O_o

I guess you are right there. I just have trouble memorizing the bigger passages.

Two-thirds of our study period has come and gone… we have four weeks plus two days left. Locals is getting closer every day. How's everyone doing on their Sword Study? I finished Week Eight today, so I have two weeks left. Then I will review, review, review!

I agree i HATE the long pasages!They are so hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
