me…maybe…

Is this Anna or Grace? :)

Hi Rachel - how did you and your siblings do today?
I heard Christa got 1st! Did Jared compete?

(forgot to post the link I mentioned - sorry!)

This is Grace! Anna has been reading this thread, but hasn't commented…. yet….

Grapes, a specially decorated BB cake, brownies, watermelon, punch, cookies, cheese, ice cream, and M&Ms and jelly beans on the table. (I only ate i.c., water, watermelon and grapes!) :)

I have to go now guys. Bye and I hope we all make it to Nationals!

Hi Grace :) Hi Anna!

Sounds yummy Rachel! :) Did you or Dani place?

which link?

No, Jared didn't compete, but he will next year! He got to recite Isaiah 45:22-23 onstage, though.

In Locals- Dani got first and I got fourth. (I'm in Juniors this year)

I forgot- I ate peas, too!!!!! ;D

Just read the post where I apologized for posting something off-topic :) That will explain the link that I posted two messages later on.

Okay- I just looked at it…I voted!

yay! :) Congratulations - I got 5th. My bff got 4th - :)

We had Abigail Sutton in our Bee this year! :)

Was she Senior? Sorry just curious. :)

They (mostly) seemed pretty well worded to me…

I finished with about ten minutes…

Bye! I have to go now. :)

I agree, but they were also often confusing if you didn't think hard. I like the way they re-phrase things though.

Now that I think about it, I think even though this year's test was hard, I like it better than other years because it really made me think about what I learned - I mean really think about it, digest it, meditate on it.

I finished with about ten minutes...

Whoa! Good job! :D I think some people are just better at multiple-choice tests than others. I've never been able to finish with more than just a few minutes left.

< I can never make quiz questions as hard as Mrs. McMahan's though :) If anyone can write questions like those, it'll help people studying for Nationals.>

Yeah… We need to learn to read her mind!

LOL! Agreed!! :P

The funny thing is, I'm terrible at written tests! :D

I got up at 5:45 to do a last practice test!

I got second place and my brother Andrew got first. :)

Wow! Congratulations, Jackson! :)

Thanks for your encouraging words, Jimmy - I needed them! :)

How did Nicolas and Rosie do? :)

Ohhhh, that makes total sense!! Why didn't I think of that?! I think you're right, Christian. I also think I answered that question wrongly. :(

I have a feeling you're going to beat me!!

Let's see, off the top of my head, there's Caleb, Nathan and Hannah, Emily & Everett, Sam, Rosie & Nicolas, ... that's all I can think of right now but there's probably more.

Are any of y'all back yet??? Seriously, I want to know how y'all did!!

Yeah!!!

yeah, that's what I guessed too with the same thoughts in mind…

I'm pretty sure I got a perfect score on orals.

WRITTEN WAS SO VAGUE!!!!!!
I had still like 9 when the timer was up.
PTL I got 1st for locals though……cant wait till wednesday!!!

Hello!

You are very welcome. I just don't want anyone to get discouraged. :)

Hey Jarrett! How'd locals go for you?

Hi Andrew :) How did you like the test?

Hey Everett! The written test was pretty tough, but I'm thankful for the ones I got right. It's almost hard to know really how to prepare for the test. Anyway, I know my score, but I probably shouldn't say it…
Edit - Got to go! Bye!

ok. I though it was really hard. I know my score also

locals went fine (i got 2nd)

Great job! In what division?

How did Nicolas and Rosie do? :)

Nicolas came in second place, based on the Final Challenge Round. We don't know our actual scores, so we're not sure yet about the exact placing. He said he felt the test was very hard as well, but he thought he scored perfectly on the orals.

I'm not sure if I should tell you how Rosie did, as she usually likes to do that herself. She might seriously injure me if I say anything, you never know…. :P

Well, I don't know if the Wrights will get on before the end of the day, but I'll just let you know that a couple of them did really well, and I think they have a great shot at Nationals! :D

Did anyone else know "who has beautiful insight"?

I may be wrong, but I think this was referring to Psalm 111:10 and "all those who practice it have a good understanding." So I guessed "The fear of the Lord," since that was all I had to go on. ;)

I think that's the right answer…I did that answer as well :)

Yup

How did all of the Minicas do? (other than Matthew and Courtney.)

Hi Carissa! Hi Christian!
@COS- where r Sam and Nicolas and Rosie??!! They haven't been On all day..

Dunno about Sam. Nicolas is pretty out of it, as he literally stayed up all night long studying. He's been sleeping most of the evening. O_O

Not sure why Rosie hasn't come on yet though.
