I can't imagine writing that many letters...my wrist aches thinking of it! :P
^^ Yeah. :P Especially with as long of letters as I write.
*looks at the hundreds of emails sent and received in my email box and won't even try imagining writing them all by hand*
I write long letters to several of my writing friends. *thinks of my 9-11 page letters to Bethany, 7-8 pages to Emily, 6-7 pages to Rachel, etc.*

Whew. That'd be hard. =P

My hand concurs. XP But hey, you kinda have to be resourceful when you don't have email.
Then get email! Or bribe a sibling to write you letters for you! :P

I don't have control over that. :)

Well you COULD try to bribe a sibling to write them for you..:P

And…that would be why it some times takes me a couple of months to reply…

I wrote an 8-page letter once... Not sure if I'll ever do it again xP

Nicolas is always telling me how he can't imagine how I have so many pages worth of things to say/talk about/discuss.

Nicolas is always telling me how he can't _imagine_ how I have so many pages worth of things to say/talk about/discuss.

Sounds like Nicolas. xP

Well, it's often taken longer than that this year. But yeah, I try to keep up as best as I can.
So what are you doing now with school and BB over for you?

xP So what did you and your family do for Thanksgiving?

Well because we had just gotten back from one of the best nationals ever and we weren't going to do anything but relax, but we had left our pseudo-dog (see my IY thread for more about that) with our grandparents so we went up north and had thanksgiving dinner at my aunt's house and my grandparents' house. Then we came back that same night and from now on all it's been is just catching up on school I missed while at nationals. You?

Um… Hoping I get to Game Show. =P But seriously, I'm going to start this week on career training for an IT job. That'll be my main focus, but I will also be working some, and I hope to have at least a little bit of time to continue with my music.

God's Maiden of Virtue

Other than what you missed for Nats, are you keeping up pretty well in school?
Well, as I mentioned earlier, we went to visit Dad's side of the family up there in MI Thursday-today; we also were celebrating Mercy's 2nd birthday yesterday with them, and their oldest son's (our cousin's) 16th birthday. :)

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

ZachB

Yea, for the most part. It's been a challenge juggling my school load with Bible Bee. I think I told you I was combining 2 years of school into one so I can graduate at the end of this school year? And then of course waiting+hoping+praying about the Game Show.

They haven't announced who is in Game Show yet?
Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is an IT job?

No, they haven't! They did further auditions for some of the contestants, including me, at Nats. They said they'll be announced after Thanksgiving… so any day now. Hopefully in a week I'll know. :P
IT = Information Technology. Basically computers. So I'll be studying coding, then branching out into another more specific area such as internet, web design, program writing, etc.

7dd80386abb09077121e3035a6872af4?s=128&d=mm

God's Maiden of Virtue

That's very impressive that you've been keeping up fairly well with 2 years of school + BB! Now my struggles with keeping up with 1 year of school load sounds lame. :P ^Of course, you're not one of the oldest of 13… ;P^

Well, all I know is that they simply must pick Seth Ross to be one of the Primary GS contestants. x)
Ah, I wondered if it was at all computer-related. Nice!

Matthew Minica

Haha! Wonder if he auditioned. I never watched Primary or Junior challenge rounds this year. :\ I wonder if they'll put him on, though, since he was a finalist.

7dd80386abb09077121e3035a6872af4?s=128&d=mm

God's Maiden of Virtue

Yeah…we were trying to see the L. family (Hannah, Micah, Bekah, etc.) on their way back from Nats, and it didn't work out. So we're going to their church service tomorrow and spending Monday with them. Man, I'll be glad when life slows down somewhat again! (Like, January :P)
Yes, thank you for talking, Matthew and Zach! Enjoyed it! :) Goodnight!

I'm surviving. ^Now that nationals is over, that's my new answer when someone asks me how I'm doing^

I'm actually watching the Senior semis, to find what Joshua's mistake was that they were discussing on another forum topic. Ahh, I might cry- all the motions again and stress of watching that live! xD

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

ZachB

Haha. :P What are you surviving on? :P

Good question. There's no social contact at nationals to survive on anymore :P

I almost did again when we were showing my grandparents the opening ceremony. And then I almost lose it whenever I play those 3 songs. :p
