You Know You're in Bible Bee...

I thought a topic was made for this already, but I couldn't find it :P

So…here! :D

When you carry your verse cards in your pocket wherever you go…

When two months of this year were dedicated to being a hermit… ^jk sorta^

Yes! lol

When you carry your verse cards in your pocket wherever you go...

TOTALLY!

…You can quote the entire book of Nahum. :P

You know you were in Bible Bee… :P

When you don't practice piano or violin, study WW2, read any books, write any letters, go outside (other than to study BB) or do anything else other than study verses and Nahum for 2 months of the year.

^Slight exaggeration - I do believe Rosie and Stefani got a couple letters from me, but they weren't 10 pages!^

When you carry your verse cards in your pocket wherever you go...

And this continues several weeks after the Bee is over…

When you carry your verse cards in your pocket wherever you go...

You must have big pockets… o.O

You know you're in Bible Bee when…you get asked how that "spelling bee" went. ;)
I got asked that at least 2 times at my church when I got back from Nationals. :)

We got asked that several times as well! It was kind of funny. :P

Yes, it is really funny ;)

Btw, I saw you several times at Nationals, but never had the chance to meet you! I was disappointed. :(

Oh, I'm sorry! :( I wish we could've met too, but maybe next year! :)

I hope so too! :) Is next year your last year?

Yes, sadly next year is my last year :( But at least I get one more year! :)

Mine too =( When is your birthday?

We'll have to cry together after Nationals next year then. ;) Just kidding!
My birthday is May 1st. When is yours?

Yeah =( lol ;-)
July 25th :)

Okay neat :)

I get that a LOT. Even my grandma who came to 2011 Nationals sometimes calls it the "spelling bee" xP

Haha, that's really funny! :D
Btw, it was nice meeting you at Nationals and congratulations again! :)

Yeah, you too! Thanks! Was this your first time?

No, this was my 3rd year at Nationals. Although this year I didn't think I had made it, so I was very surprised ;)

Okay, great! How did your prelims go?

My oral was perfect I think, but the written was tough. :) I studied really hard, I just get really nervous during the written and I can't think of the answers in the few seconds I have to think of them ;)
What did you think of the new oral testing?

NOooooooooooooo!!! It wasn't good!!

Same here :P I think I got a perfect Oral… I'd be surprised if I didn't. The test was really hard for me too. First, it asked on all the CR's I didn't study; second, the verse context questions were just ridiculous; and third, on the comprehension questions, I was choosing between two good answers all the time lol.

yep, same here! I always struggle with choosing the right answer on the comprehension questions :(

Why didn't you like it? I actually really enjoyed it :)

The oral round was fine for me because I knew all my verses. But I think that it was really frustrating for a lot of people. There were at least two people in my group that had to pass almost all their passages :( I wish that they could have done that in private.

Yeah, I knew my verses too which made it easier for me. But it seemed like I got easier passages which then made me feel bad for the other contestants in my group :(

Yeah… I probably missed like 30-40 questions. What makes me feel horrible is when everyone else says that the test was easy, and I'm like, "Are you crazy?" XD

Hahaha, yep XD

Why didn't you like it? I actually really enjoyed it :)

Passing in front of people is hard :(
Kinda confusing to listen to different versions
People crying on stage
Long wait….

Exactly. I don't think it's very fair when each person gets different passages.

Yeah... I probably missed like 30-40 questions. What makes me feel horrible is when everyone else says that the test was easy, and I'm like, "Are you crazy?" XD

^^^^^^^^
That's me

Yeah, true.
I was not happy about it at first, but I think what I liked about it was getting to proclaim God's Word out loud in front of a bunch of people.

Yeah, that's the good part. still wishes that they would change it back I wonder what the scores are going to be like :) I'm going to guess that I got 780.

Wow that's good! I don't want to see my score… :) I did really well at Locals, but that was because the test actually was easy ;)

They change the test up so much that it's impossible to study for xP. The Locals test was the easiest ever!

I know! I never study the right things! xP I spent over 1,000 hours studying this summer and fall and I still didn't know the right things for the test ;)

Yeah :D

Sorry, I had to go for a bit. In 2011 a senior missed three questions on the test :P That's impossible now!

Wow, they must have been really good! :)
That's okay, I actually have to go now. Nice talking with you and congrats again!

Alrighty, bye! Hope to see you next year!

You know you're in the BB when you describe your age as "I'm a second year senior" instead of "I'm 16." xD (I find myself doing that all the time to BB people)

Hehe! People will ask me the age of someone and I'll be like, "Um, we'll it's their last year in Juniors." xP

You know you're in BB if you're in a total state of depression right now… xP

You know you are in the Bible Bee:
When you see any signs with BB, CR, or BBQ and turn them into Bible Bee, Cross References, and (by subconsciously inserting an H) Bible Bee HeadQuarters in your head.
When you think all Senior discounts should be written in red or maroon.
When someone raises their hands during worship and you think of Mrs. McMahan and "Arky, Arky".
When you are in a group that starts clapping for someone and you lean over and whisper to your sister, "Let's show them some love."
When your year is divided into six month sections of "Bible Bee season" and "Non-Bible Bee season".
When you feel like you should start using a walker when you turn 19 because you are now older than all the your Senior friends.

Did my mom make you wave your hands?
