Hello

Wassup?

He should be able to get back on in a few minutes. :D

What's going on?

Nothing much. Except that I found out that if you put "gif" in front of the word "youtube" in a YouTube video's URL, you can make part of it a GIF! Like I did with this video from PBG!

Ok neat!!! ^other than I have no idea what that is… :D^

:P

It means that if there's a funny moment from a video you like, you can share it here. I might just start a topic for such GIFs…

Thanks bruh!

Hey Emily! :)

Hi!!! Have I even talked to you since nats started? :P How is your studying going??

I think you have, actually, but not much. :D Well, my memorization was going great until last week… in which it came to an abrupt halt due to an extremely busy schedule. I'm having to get back on track now, and I think I will soon. Nahum studying's coming along okay, though not as well as I wish it were. :P

I hear your memorization is coming along really well?? :D How've you been doing with Nahum studying?

Okay xD Ah, well, I'm glad you're able to get back on track now!! And that it was going well before that =D Are you following the Jonah SS pretty much for Nahum too?

Haha, well, I wouldn't say that. xP It's okay though!! =D Nahum…I'm hoping to work on that more shortly, so far I've only done some overview stuff. xP

Okay xD Ah, well, I'm glad you're able to get back on track now!! And that it was going well before that =D Are you following the Jonah SS pretty much for Nahum too? Haha, well, I wouldn't say that. xP It's okay though!! =D Nahum...I'm hoping to work on that more shortly, so far I've only done some overview stuff. xP

What do you mean by that? Are you asking if I'm using the same format for Nahum studying as we did in the Jonah SS?

Rosie told me you were in the 500s with your memorization! :P I only just got to 300! :P

Same here with Nahum. I almost feel like I'm wasting time when I'm trying to study it, because I'm not getting as much done as I would if I were memorizing the verses. xP

Oh yes, sorry, that is what I meant. :P

Well, that would be something if they were all perfected! xP A bunch of them are still really hard to get through. :P That's great!!!!! Congrats!!! =D =D

Haha, I knooowww! That's exactly how it is…

Trying again…

Oh yes, sorry, that is what I meant. :P Well, that would be something if they were all perfected! xP A bunch of them are still _really_ hard to get through. :P That's great!!!!! Congrats!!! =D =D Haha, I knooowww! That's exactly how it is...

Okay. :D In that case, I'm kinda following the same format. That is, I'm focusing mainly on cross-references and Greek words; but a lot of the things they do in the SS I'm not doing, especially the stuff in the Streetview sections.

I understand. :D I'm trying to keep all of mine as perfected as possible, reviewing them as often as I can. But I do have to pay the price of taking longer to get to memorizing since I spend so much time reviewing. :)

Nope… :P

Okay, cool! I'm definitely going to do a bunch Hebrew/Greek words and find any cross-references from the different divisions passages, maybe other ones too, we'll see. :P I like the first part of Streetview, where you question the chapter, but I don't know if I'll do anything else from there…

Yeah… Were you the one reading through your verses all the time last year? :P Yes, it does take a lot of time to review! A couple of years ago my mom and I decided to go over all my verses without stopping to see how long it took. xP I don't remember now how long it was though, but it was a really long time. xP

Hey you guys!

I did that last year–questioning the chapters, I mean. It was pretty helpful, actually; so I might do it again this year. :)

I wasn't reading through them, but I was reviewing them all the time, definitely. :P Maybe I do that too much… or maybe you can't do it too much. ;D

Hey Matthew! :D

I have a little more than 10 minutes, then I need to go finish studying the Hebrew word ga'own. :P

Okay =D I like how much I learn from that. Even with reading it over so much, it forces you to think about it more. xP

Okay, I don't know who it was then. xP Haha, I think it's more that you can't do it too much. But then, if you just reviewed the whole time and didn't do anything new that obviously wouldn't be good either :P Are you all planning on coming to nats again?

Okay xD

^I still have a couple verses to finish^

I have a little more than 10 minutes, then I need to go finish studying the Hebrew word ga'own. :P

Kayo. :D What's ga'own mean? :)

Yes, indeed. :D

Yeah, that would be another ditch to fall into. xP Yes, we're definitely planning on coming! :D I've got my vocational school to go to, though, and I want to miss as little of that as possible; so I'm going to be flying into Orlando alone a few days after my dad and siblings drive in. :D

I wasn't reading through them, but I was reviewing them all the time, definitely. :P Maybe I do that too much... or maybe you can't do it too much. ;D

I definitely don't do that enough… :\ I have like seven really long passages that I'm horrible on and don't get to quiz very often. xP

I have a little more than 10 minutes, then I need to go finish studying the Hebrew word ga'own. :P

Kayo. :D What's ga'own mean? :)

In KJV, it's translated "excellency" in Nahum 2:2; but it can also refer to pride, or majesty. The basic meaning is to be exalted. :)

Yeah… xP I mean is your whole family coming? Can't wait to see you guys!! And hopefully actually talk to you too. xP Oh, okay, wow!! That's neat!

I'm fortunate (i.e., providence-blessed) enough to have a slot of time each morning in which I can review my more difficult passages if I need to, so that's really helpful. If you can, try to look for a brief period of time in the day that you can consistently set aside for review. That should be very helpful, if you're able to do it. :)

Well, no. Only those who qualified, plus our dad, are coming. It's a pretty long trip, so we don't want to spend more than we have to. :) (Of course, you live even farther away, so… I won't complain. xP) IKR? I have a really bad habit of not talking to someone I know even if they're right in front of me, simply because I'm not sure I'd know what to say. :P

Sounds like a good idea! I do my daily review (haven't missed a day yet xD), but only once I've quoted the passage perfect. Seems a little backwards, but it's hard to quote passages I am horrible on every day… takes up a big chunk of my time.

Can't wait to see you guys!! And hopefully actually talk to you too. xP

Okay, I need to go! See y'all around!

Ah, okay. :) Well… guess you should just keep reviewing it as often as you can, and hope you'll get it drilled into your head at some point. x)

Okay, I need to go! See y'all around!

Farewell Matthew! :)

Okay. Yeah, I know how that is. :-/ Haha, yeah, but then there's only four of us and my brother qualified too. xP xP Lol, yeah, I don't blame you at all. xP I did the exact same thing you know… xP And anyway, it's kinda awkward talking to people when you've only known them online. :P

Ah, okay. :) Well... guess you should just keep reviewing it as often as you can, and hope you'll get it drilled into your head at some point. x)

Yeeep. Time is ticking though… I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed… xP Hopefully I can finish learning the rest of my verses in a couple of weeks, and then I can focus on perfecting them.

Bye Matthew!

Okay. Yeah, I know how that is. :-/ Haha, yeah, but then there's only four of us and my brother qualified too. xP xP Lol, yeah, I don't blame you at all. xP I did the exact same thing you know... xP And anyway, it's kinda awkward talking to people when you've only known them online. :P

Oh no, don't give me more excuses to tell myself when a situation like that comes up again. xP Last year I was literally right in front of you in the registration line, and I virtually acted like I didn't know you! :P

I almost wish it were more natural for me to do it that way. But I'm a perfectionist, so instead of getting all of the verses basically down and then going back to review and perfect them, I typically go through them very slowly to perfect them more quickly, and barely get them all done in time. xP

xP Yeah, but I did the exact same thing!!! xP It was just as much, if not more, my fault!! xP

xP Yeah, but I did the _exact same thing_!!! xP It was just as much, if not more, my fault!! xP

It was a fault on both of our counts then. :P But it won't happen again… right…??? xP

Ah, okay. :) Well... guess you should just keep reviewing it as often as you can, and hope you'll get it drilled into your head at some point. x)

Hey, that works too! Whatever works best for you! I want to get everything done as quick as possible and then go back and catch what I missed. xP

Like I said, I do wish I could do that; it seems safer. At least I'd have something to say to the judges instead of nothing (if I happen not to get to a certain passage), right? :P
