Bible Bee Locals!

I meant about the BB doing something for college-age people. Concerning BB being in San Antonio, I'm actually very happy about it, because we have family and old friends there (my parents used to live in TX).

Oh, sorry, I wasn't really replying to you. Just replying to all this in general. But I actually didn't see Rachel's comment or hear that news, so thanks for pointing it out again! xD

You're welcome. xP

That's not confirmed or anything…I'm just repeating what Emily told me. xD

My mom said tonight that it was her understanding that the opportunities for college-age students were in the realm of internships, not actual competition participation.

It is the 28th amendment of the Constitution.

Or the 1st amendment to the Bee of rights :).

Not that I heard, but that would be pretty awesome ;D

*looks at you knowingly* Are you thinking what I'm thinking? ;D *highfive*

What are you thinking? I think I'm thinking what you're thinking, but I don't know lol xD

So do you think that they could have internships for out-of-state people?!?!?!

Umm… I would assume so… That's what GraceAnn did for a while until she became an official staff member. Is that unusual or something?

Well, I mean, would an intern have to go and live down in TX to intern?

Ohhhhhh. Yeah, I would think so. But very little details have been released, so I really have no clue. ;)

:( Interning for BB would be so much fun! But they have plenty of time to figure out how someone can intern without moving there :).

Poor Amara…now I'm going to be telling her that she really needs to do Bible Bee! ^which she does :)^

FAQ page is back up.

In 3 months, we'll be taking the locals test!! O_o

Oh, wow! That's really soon! And I'm really not prepared yet :).

Same ;)

Oh, and are you being Lulu early in the books, or later in the books? ;D

I don't know. We only have until book 13 or something. Is she really bad later on? I mean, would I not want to be her? I guess I chose her sorta cause I felt sorry for her :).

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I am getting the sword study from the McMahan's website anyway, "Apply" sections and everything. My sister and I are thinking of doing our own version of the Bible Bee with us supplying small prizes for completing the sword study and memorizing the individual passages. Since I aged out after 2014, and none of the rest of the kids are willing to put in the time to qualify for Nationals, besides that the nearest Bee would be a several hour drive to get to, this is not actually as devastating as it sounds. However, for the sake of the rest of you, I am very sorry that they are making all these changes. You have my empathy. What empathy I possess, that is, which is not significant. The Bible Bee, old guard and new, remain in my prayers, though, as far as preference goes I say with Roo (I think it was): "I like the old Bible Bee best."

Yeah, 2014 was a good year to age out. I'm kind of in a similar situation, regarding the interest of my siblings and all. We'll still be doing it, but I have doubts about going to Nats. I am very interested to see what happens with these changes, though.
