Jess

Of course plastering our hall with verses. :) But they looked so nice that we left them up too long and almost wrecked the wall trying to get the tape off. :P My Grandpa quizzed me over Skype, and my mom and I did dictation with them. And of course Memverse. :)

That must have really helped!

It did! I just wish that I would have learned more greek words. That point loss on the written kept me out of semi-finals :( :( :( :( :( :(

Poor you! BTW what was your oral score? Just remembering the BB today :)! I didn't go to church because I was sick :(! Well, at least I wasn't yesterday :)!

My oral score was 297, I think. So sorry your sick! That can't be very much fun. :(

That's a great score :)!!!!!! That's ok! Its not that fun :P! What have you been doing today?

Oh, nothing much. Resting up from yesterday mostly. :P We've been outside, and I've been reading a bunch. :)

Yeah, I've been resting all day as well. VERY tired from yesterday :)! I have been reading like all day too :)!

I don't think I am half as tired as when I got home from Nationals. :P But we went on another vacation after that. :)

I don't think I am half as tired as when I got home from Nationals. :P But we went on another vacation after that. :)

That must have made you tired!!! Jimmy is always SO tired after Nats!!!

That's because we keep him up so late you have to come and get him to leave…. :P jk

It's hard! Especially if you get on stage, I'm sure. ( Even though I've never been up there.)

That's because we keep him up so late you have to come and get him to leave.... :P jk

YES! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!! JK!!!!

@jess- Yes it is SO hard for him especially last year and the first when he made it to semis!

It would be really tough when you are a senior. All those verses! :)

That's because we keep him up so late you have to come and get him to leave.... :P jk

Yeah…we did keep him up really late :)

SEE? SEE? You admit it :P!!!!! JK I promise :P!

@Jess- Yes, I looked at what he had to memorize at 2009 Nats (I fainted…..literally.) and last year I screamed!!! That was a LOT to memorize :P!!!!!!!!! The first year locals was like 3000 for Junior Nats!!!!!

I don't think that there were additional verses or books added to national qualifier's list to memorize and study. That started two years ago I think when we did 1 Peter and then they added 2 Peter and more verses.

Yep…I did admit it :) But we were having so much fun!!! It was so much fun going through the hallway saying JP sayings really loud! =D

Yeah!! It was SO much fun!!!!!!!! =D

Yeah!! It was SO much fun!!!!!!!! =D

DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I REALLY can't wait for Wednesday!!!!!

:)!!!! ME EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!!

So Jess….(BTW do you like being called Jess or Jessica more? I called you both at locals :P!) ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT TOMORROW????? Yes that is a trick question :P!

Jess if you are in a hurry, Jessica if you have all the time in the world. :P I AM EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, now its today, so its getting a little scary. :) ( But I still can't wait for 7:00!!!! )

MEEEE TOOOOOOOOOO :D :D :D :D :D :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you see Jimmy's (My brother) prediction of the cutoff line? If he is correct you would make it YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did see it. But I still think that you have a chance. He said that junior scores are a little iffy. :)

He did? goes and checks HE DID :D! But really, I don't think I have a chance :(! That written test REALLY threw me off :(!!!!!!

Well, that was the same for almost everybody. Just look at the 2013 Locals page! But I know you looked at it. :) I seriously thought I would get about 3/4 of the questions wrong. It was awful! :( I had a terrible time this morning concentrating. There was a nationals program on the table, and it ended up on top of my math homework. Enough said. :P

:)! Yeah, I guess It is a good sign that everyone thought it was hard :)! But I got so nervous on the written test that I could not think right! :(! But enough BB….What did you do today?

Oh, nothing much. Worked on reciprocals, (the math homework :P), sat around being hot, (It's really humid here,), and did Memverse.

What have you been doing?

Nothing much except for cleaning :)! Our Grandparents are coming over tonight so it has been MADNESS over here :P!!! Also still tired from the Bee :)!!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT TILL TONIGHT :)!

Fun! My grandparents left a couple days ago. :( I CAN'T WAIT EITHER!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY MAKE YOU WAIT WAY TO LONG :P JK :)!!!!

One year they had it on at 11:00 in the morning, and we got on to check, and they moved it to 7:00 at night! Talk about disappointing! :(

What year? How disappointing :(!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was that last year?

No, I think it was 2011, but I'm not sure. :) Is Daniel diving into the new study and verses yet? There's a lot more long passages this year!

Yes he is :)! BTW do you have an email address? If so can you send it to my mom so I can write you? Thanks :)!

Oh and BTW I really like your picture :P :)!!!!

Sorry I haven't been on… we've been busy. Yeah! That would be great! I'll send it! :) Thanks! I like my picture soooooooo much better than my old one. :)

OK Thanks :)! Yes I like mine better than my last one :)! Amanda took that pic :)!

Hello :)! I just got your e-mail address and I sent you a e-mail….Just incase you check memverse more often than your email :P!!!!

Just sent you an e-mail! :)

Hello! Saw the e-mail….How did you find out it was 122? I am trying to count but I keep losing my spot :P…..

There was a newsletter, or a post on Memverse or something. I don't remember… :)

Ah..We just counted and found out you are right….Do you think they will actually let them in? One of them was 122nd but the other was like 140th or something…weird……

Hey! Sent you another e-mail sorry I took so long to reply…..

Sent you and e-mail just in case you check memverse more often than your e-mail :P!
