NATIONALS!

sigh

I could share something from the BB FAQ page, but it probably won't improve our anxiety to view the scores ;)

Within 30 days?!?!? It better not be that long!!

heh…I'm not quite ready for the scores to be posted :P :P

lol…may I ask why not??

1. it means Bible Bee this year is completely and totally over :P
2. it would be nice to be home, so I have my own pillow to cry into when I see my score

jk on the 2nd one. :P

Yeah, that! But they usually don't take that long, right??

LOL!!!!!!!! I guess I understand your reasoning… but I'd still like to see the scores. :P

No, I don't recall that they ever have…

Me too. :P I really want to see them and I really don't at the same time. Not knowing when they'll post them makes it worse. :P oh well.

I know…we all just expected it would be the same every year… sigh :-P

I guess I had just better resign myself to the possibility of having to wait 20 more days. :-P :-(

Looks like you won't have to wait that long ;) BBHQ said scores should be up by the end of this Friday.

Unless…the unthinkable happens. LOL!

Great! I'll just keep busy until then. :-) Thanks Tori! ;-D

That may be what they say, however, remember what they said last time.

I remain skeptical.

That's true too. :-P

They seem to be under the impression that they should be entitled to over a week to digest their turkey.

I, too, am skeptical about it. :P And yes! What takes them so long to post scores that have already been calculated?

It does, I think, take a while to build a new part of the website, enter information and computer code, and actually upload it to the website. I think, though, that turkey also plays a part (Thanksgiving break is, I am sure, very welcome for the Bible Bee staff). :)

Don't get your hopes up too high, Courtney ;P JK

You have a good point, Jimmy. Rebuilding the website never struck me as the possible reason for the delay, but it does now.

HI everyone I back on. (I stopped posting when we left for Nats) We are not home yet from BB, we are in New Mexico and it is REALLY cold (for driving) like when you breath on the window and the condensation freezes, yea.
It is not snowing yet though.

Every one used to say WOW! If you post a week after BB, and say you are not home yet but after the Millers, a week is not wow any more. : )

Welcome back! So there are two Everetts? looks at the topic Ooooooooooops! I'm not suppose to be here!

How cold was it?
It's 13 here.

Pictures from nationals are up! :)

They are? Wow, I'll have to go check them out!

I won't. But I'm still refreshing the computer every time I get on, just to see if they're up yet. :-)

Scores are up:) I'm shocked:) congratulations everybody! you all did an excellent job:) I just can't believe Olivia pulled out 1st in the Nation for scores.

I was #24. Actually, that's a little higher than I was hoping for, so I'm happy. I got almost exactly the score I was expecting on orals.

They were early!

I am in shock.

Sincere apologies for having so little faith that they would do the unpredictable.

Scores are up! Congratulations to everyone!

Congrats to everyone!

The scores are up!!! I came in 43rd place! All glory to God!

Ah, moved back two places. Oh well.

Haha…. I got 15th place in semis!!! Just barely made it but I don't mind… it was that awesome! If my oral had been perfect I would have come in 11th…

ARGH…….. I wish I had one more year of Bible Bee!

I thought you didn't go? never mind.

Good job everyone! I came in 7th place!!!

Yeah… I was there….

Haha.. It's cause this is Jordan using Bethany's account!!! She didn't go. Of course, she's too old to compete as well!

Oh, I see! That is confusing. I was going to have my sister do the same thing on my account… but i didn't know if it was allowed. (but we probably would try it anyway) Glad to see it is! :)

sigh I have one more year to try for it, if Dad will let me!

Woohoo! Scores are up! And I got 40th!!! :O I am really surprised. What with my low oral score and all. But I raised my local rank, finally!!! :D

Oh, and Courtney also got 15th! :P

Grrrr. If I had not started over and had been able to quote those three last passages at the end, I might have gotten into the top 25!

What do you all think of the dates for 2014 Nationals??

They better reduce the amount of verses! :D

Well about 50 Mi before Albuquerque was the worst part, it got down to 10° but not for very long. It did start snowing, we are in flagstaff, AZ now.

What? Why?

edit: oh yea I forgot to say, I am Everett Hamilton not Everett Chew, there is 2 Everetts. I was thinking about proveing that at the Memverse meeting. : )

Would someone please confess if they got under 60th place!

I got under 60th place. JK :)

Well, I got seventh in Juniors. Super-shocked, because if you only knew how little I studied… :) I would've been between 3rd and 4th if I hadn't messed up on Philippians 1:9-11! Oh, well :) There's always next year :)

I got 36th, in Juniors that is.

I was 9 after Semis, 14 before.

10* was the worst part????
