Random Announcements!

Congratulations Anna! ;D

Yay, good job, Anna! highfive

I just finished high school Chemistry!!!!! (This is truly great cause for rejoicing :).)

Congrats! I know how that feels! :D

Thanks, y'all! No more science for a whole 'nother year! :D

I'm so sorry, Anna. Don't worry! You'll be able to take it again in college.

Why not take physics while you wait? :P

Y'all are so kind! @"Joshua Swaim" and @"ZachB - zachbaas.com" Actually, I've already CLEPed out of both of those. I already know so much that I could basically get my M.D. any day now.

Nice! Fun stuffs. remembers taking sciences

Shall we begin calling you Doctor Anna now, or will Gloria be insulted? xP

No, actually, I'm going to be a world-famous detective (specializing in Bible Bee cases). I could probably make more money if I were a doctor, but this job will be very fun.

Oh boy. What kinds of Bible Bee cases do you expect to be solving?

Any kind.

I have a case for you! Solve where Nationals will be held in 2018…. XD

I sort of like kombucha, and really do not like cats, in case anyone cares.

And my prediction is that Nats 2018 will also be in SA.

That's so exciting, Anna! I haven't done it yet… O.o I sat through a coop class of it last year, but didn't do any of the work. :P It was super confusing! (Except toward the end when we were discussing equilibrium and things like that.)

@"Rachel the Carolinian " I predict SA, but I don't have enough evidence to say with certainty.

@"Rachel the Alaskan" Haha, actually, equilibrium was what made me especially eager to be done. I could get the problems right for the most part, but I didn't feel like I actually understood it :).

Random announcement: It's snowing! dies inside

I'm sorry, Zach. :P

Why can't Nats 2018 be somewhere closer to me? xP jk

Why can't Nats 2018 be somewhere closer to me? xP jk

Nats in michigan would be amazing, even with the risk of snow. Unfortunately I don't see that happening. :\ lol

Haha, no, I don't foresee any possibility of Nats being in MI, regardless of where HQ is. It's just not at all central to anyone in the country (neither is TX, but oh well :P). I'd be content with something like OH or maybe even northern KY. (As in, like, the Creation Museum? Why have they not done it there yet? xP)

It was -30* at church this morning!

@Anna- Haha! That part really made sense to me for some reason; it fits into the weird category that my brain can just get. I can't really explain it. :P

Peoples, Nats should just be held in Greece. You know how much money we would save?? XP XP

@"Rachel the Alaskan" I truly pity you.

Gloria - are you in league with the airline companies or something? xP

Yes, Nats should TOTALLY be at the Creation Museum! A lot of people are close to it, and it's a great place anyway!

That would be more like Internationals, Gloria. ;P

Lol xP

It would be easier

for us

no more 26+ hour days. O.O

Is that even possible? (26+hour days) xP

Oops I meant 24+. Lol

When you change 8 hours. And can't sleep cuz of that.

I don't like visiting America.

XP

Wow, Gloria. Just wow. xP

Let me know whenever you visit the Creation Museum! I work there now. :)

Wow, Leah, you do? Doing what? :)

I am now the oldest minor in my family.

Our cat has an abstract tooth and his cheek is all swollen. :P

I'm a museum host. Housekeeping, guest services, retail, etc. :)

I have crippling depression.

I HAVE OSTEOPOROSIS!

To turn things back to being at least semi-normal here after the invasion of Sam and Noah….I got my PSAT scores today and I scored a 1470 out of 1520, putting me in the "99+" percentile in the nation! :D Praise God!

Wow, that's great, Zach! Congratulations!! :D

That is super cool, Zach!!

Congratulations, Zach, but you'd better get working. You still have 50 more points to go.

I published my first completed, useful program! (I've made a lot of uncompleted, pointless programs before). It's an automatic verse card generator (www.swaimfamily.net/verse_card_generator).

@"Leah Jessie" We're going to the Creation Museum day after Christmas. Hope to see you there! :)

@"Mommy's Helper" I am working that day! We'll probably see each other, since I'm all over the place, but if not you can tell someone from Guest Services to call me. You'll love Christmas Town- it is going to be really awesome this year! :)

Random historical fact of the day: 243 years ago today, American colonists dressed up as Indians and threw tea off a British ship into the Boston harbor. We know that event as the Boston Tea Party.

One more random history fact. :P Ludwig van Beethoven was born 246 years ago today.

Haha, at an orchestra concert we had today, the director told us that =P and then was like, "But we're not going to sing for him…it's also the choir director's birthday so we're doing to sing for her" =P

I found my favorite gymnastics team….
SPELBOUND! (Yes I spelled it right.)

Merry Christmas Adam!

:P

We always call it that too! :P

@"Leah Jessie" Oh oops. We actually aren't going there on Monday. We'll either be there Tuesday or Wednesday, maybe both!
Hope you're working at least one of those days!
