Social Chatting #10

Okay. I had about 6 minutes left over for orals.

Oh, you said orals, sorry, I thought you said locals xP I don't know how much time I had for orals…I didn't ask. :P

You must have talked REALLY fast :D :P

That's okay :) Mmkay.

Okay. I had about 6 minutes left over for orals.

What's orals like??

In 2011 locals, I finished the oral test with literally one second left. (No, I'm not kidding.) :-D

I did…I'm extremely surprised my judge didn't tell me to slow down.

Wow! That's a little too close for comfort xP

@Carissa: Yeah… :P

I'm back!

Quote 20 passages in 10 minutes…points deducted for any mistakes. Make sure to read the rule book before locals.

You can say that again. XP One of the people who judged my oral rounds that year was judging practice oral rounds last year, and he remembered me. :-D

I read really slow. Except for the BB tests xP

Yep same

xP Haha, that's so neat! :D

Okay. I had about 6 minutes left over for orals.

What's orals like??

You get 10 minutes to recite 20 passages. And you end up speaking so fast that you mess up sometimes :P

Hello again :D

Oh boy….

It's fine though!! If you practice your verses a lot you'll do great :D

Sorry, maybe I shouldn't scare you. If you know your passages well, you will be able to do it easily.

^^^ What she said. :-P

And if you can practice saying them to other people beside family and friends.

One person at our local bee told us we should go to a gas station and quote our verses there.

Haha! Wow! Yeah, no way!

Haha! That's not a bad idea… When my brother was on swim team this other mom there wanted to hear me quote my verses to her xP

I actually practice only in front of friends and family. Because in the oral room I stare at the floor.

I close my eyes :)
EDIT: And I get nervous if there's an audience…

Yeah, that helps too!

Doesn't everyone get nervous if there's an audience?

Well, I don't get nervous if there's an audience and I'm doing speech or something xP

Just find something that works for you!

Depends. If I know my stuff thoroughly or if I'm prepared, then no.

I don't when I do bible quizzing and I have to quote…

Oh, you'll probably do great at BB then! :D

Usually in Bible quizzing, though, the audience isn't quite so big.

Hi y'all! For a few minutes…

LIZZY!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
EDIT: Okay, so maybe I'm a little bit over-excited… :-P

That probably depends on what sized bee you go to though… ours is pretty small and I know like everyone that's there. xP

Lizzy!!! You come on just as I'm about to leave xP :(

Glad I just made your day! :D

Noooooooo! sniff sniff

hands you the tissues again :P

Thanks… blows nose

Yeah, ours was pretty small this year, but that was because the bee we used to go to split into two different bees, and most of the people went with the other bee.
