Countdowns

ONE HOUR… and 57 minutes.

1 hour - 23 minutes…and counting …

Not that anybody is counting down…or are you?!? ;-p

It will be the same universal time for all time zones, Rosie. It only differs in what local time (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 PM) it will be announced. Everyone will get to see at exactly the same time, but not everyone will get to see it at two-o-clock - only the lucky ones that live in Hawaii and the Aleutian Islands. (If there are any Locals over there.) Make sense?

1 Hour
22 Minutes
25 Seconds!!!!

47 minutes to go!
I feel sorry for those who went to locals in Kenya or Germany. It will be 2:00 in the morning or something like that when they will be able to see it.

People in Kenya or Germany can't compete - it's only for the USA.

38 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!

There were two local competitions in Germany and Kenya. They took place on U.S. military bases.

I can't wait! :D :D :D

We will be taking the test in four weeks exactly!!!

I'm not ready yet!

I'm not ready either!! I'm getting nervous already! :)

gulp I am so not ready. :)

I can't say I'm ready yet, but I think I will be soon! I can't wait!! :)

17 days til competition starts! I actually can wait - I want all the study time I can get! :) I am close to being ready though. It will be sooo much fun!!

6 Days
18 Hours

…till the competition begins!

I can't wait!

I can… :)

I don't know whether I should say that I can't wait or that I can–I'm almost completely prepared for the Oral Round, but I'm not sure about the Written Test. I just need to do a bit more studying and a lot more praying, and I'll be ready! :)

Same thing here!

Praying for you! (and all the others at nationals).

Thank you so much, Octo! I'm very happy to see you came back on the forum to tell me that. :)

"My time of departure is at hand." I have:

0 Days,
0 Hours,
38 Minutes,
30 Seconds!

But probably only ten or so minutes until I go down there.

No more counting down necessary! Everyone's written tests are done, and only the Senior oral round is left–and it is in progress! I can't wait to see what everyone placed! I pray you all did well!

Sooooo sooooo sooooo excited for you all!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was great meeting a lot of you today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Soooooooooo excited to see who the semifinalists are. =D

till we can register for the 2013 Bible Bee!!!!

Okay, sorry about that. I'm just really sad that this Bible Bee is over :( cries Anyone else sad?

Definitely sad. :'( This year went by SO fast!!!!!!! Waaaa!!!! But I'm glad to be able to get back to "normal" life….

In a sense I'm glad it's finished too…(and in a sense I'm not glad…)

Here I come school, piano…and memory work! :)

Yeah, I'll hopefully get a lot of school done (and piano and violin and writing and etc. :) between now and next BB. :)

I still can't believe it's all over! I keep thinking I should bring along my huge stack of verse cards wherever I go, then remember that I don't need to anymore. I wish this were a year-round thing or something. Life just doesn't seem the same without the Bible Bee… :)

I keep doing the same thing. I keep thinking "I really need to start reviewing my verses!!!" and "I need to memorize some more Greek words and cross-references!!!" =D

LOL :D
