2013 Locals!!!

HI Hannah and Rachel! How did you think the day went?

I thought that the written test was easy.

jaw drops

Good for you! so did I :)! Are you senior or Junior?

I'm a senior.

Hi Bethany! How did u do???? :)

Hello Grace! Good to see you on here!

Rachel :) I got 3rd place :) I don't know what my score was…and I thought the test was SOOOOOOO hard! I was so shocked to find out that I got 3rd!

It went well, I placed 1st in our group! :D I have a good feeling about orals….but written… shivers That was SOOOO hard!!!!!

So how did y'all think the day went?

Oh…ok :)! Were you Junior last year? I think I remember you from Nats…

HI Danielle :) Uh….I don't think I did the best. But, it doesn't really matter! :)

It went well, I placed 1st in our group! :D I have a good feeling about orals....but written... *shivers* That was SOOOO hard!!!!!

Same with me only I get 2nd….

Wow! Good for you! :) Did you finish the whole test? I wasn't able to, for several reasons. :( I got to like 170 or so…then filled in all the answers with the same choice.

Have you checked your email recently?

Yes, I was a junior last year. I remember you from nationals as well :)

I gtg. :) great job everyone! You're all amazing! :)

Bye Dani!

BYE! You're amazing also :)!!!

Okay for my first year in juniors. :)

Bye!

:)!

Hello everyone….

HI Rachel :) Yes, I did finish the test. But, I'm not feeling confident about it at all.

I'll check it right now :)

Okay for my first year in juniors. :)

You did AWESOME :) You beat me and this is my second year :P!!!!!! You'll probably make it :)!

Hi Christian!! What did you think of the tests?

Hello Christian!

Bye! You are amazing too! :)

Did you see what I said earlier about the rock band? :P :(

I hope we both will!

Haha very funny :P! Yes I will say again that I am a pessimist :) You are probably the only one who knows what I am talking about :)!

I agree with Hannah Leary's observation: The Senior test was the hardest I've seen in a few years. :/

But I did well in both orals and written, and I ended up being first place in the local bee. We had a lot of Seniors this year, so I was very floored that I made it that far…

Hi Christian! Tell your siblings to get on!!

I hope we both will!

YES!!! THAT WOULD "BEE" AWESOME :D!!!

Good for you! Do you know your total score?

@COS: That's great!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I do not, but I am told that it was really high… so I'm optimistic about my National placing. :)

@COS: That's great!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Yes! Congrats :)!!!!

Congrats!! :)

Congrats!

That's great, Christian!

Bethany: do you think that it would work for you tonight, or at least sometime this week?

I couldn't believe how difficult the test was… I went into it pretty confident, but by the 30th question or so, I was far enough behind that I was wondering if I'd even finish! Like, half of the questions merely referenced a chapter in 1 John, so I had to spend time thinking through the entire in my head. Which I didn't have the time to do! It was so frustrating! But, I guess, I ended up doing a pretty decent job.

I messed up on the beginning of Isaiah 43:1-2 in the oral round, as well as a few words in Acts 10:38-43, but I think that was all I got wrong.

Rachel – I think sometime this week would be the best. I'm really tired right now and such. I'll e-mail you the times that work for me :)

Okay…I'm tired too, but I just wanted to talk to you about the day and such :)

I found the same thing. Now I wish that I had memorized 1 John better. :( Who did memorize 1 John?

Same here….

I did :)

Christian – I was just the same way! That test was very hard, and there were only about 30-45 that I was super confident about :)

@ Jessica- Yes! I wished I had memorized 1 john instead of the summarization!

Yeah… I was thinking that memorizing the book would be a big help, but because they didn't EVER reference specific verses, it was a lot harder than I was expecting. I feel bad for all of the people who were doing it for the first time…

I was feeling pretty confident until I started the written test - it was sooo hard! :(

I know – I was sad for those who were doing it for the first year too :)

I thought that test was hard. Really hard.
