I am a week behind on my SG. and I'm not even trying to get caught up, it's soooo terrible. I just kinda gave up on BB this year. I might not even do it next year unless they bring back the SS. :(

Chewing on my hair, sitting down, breathing, typing, and waiting for Super Smash Flash to load… What about you?

hows the food?

The first day of camp I couldn't eat. I am having to have braces again because the ortho didn't give me the right treatment and my teeth are moving again, so they're giving me a free retreatment. And when I have spacers in my mouth to make room for the brackets, my teeth were hurting and I wasn't able to eat that day. But yesterday the food was awesome!</blockquote>

I had braces, and I have to wear retainers every night, otherwise my teeth would move back. Had spreaders, too. Not fond memories. Braces weren't bad, though… once. :-)

Hannah! Don't give up! I'm doing terrible too! I was three weeks behind by the time I knew there was a study guide and I'm doing my very best to get caught up! As master Yoda says, "Do, or do not, there is no try." Don't give up whether or not you are going to nationals! I don't know if I will or not but I'm going to do my very best no matter what! It's been a fun experience although I didn't know half of what I was supposed to do!

Is this your first year? You aren't experiencing a quarter of the fun we used to have in BB. Now it's no fun at all for me. :(

Yep and I don't know half of what I'm suposed to do!

Okay then I understand why you wonder why I hate it so much. If you haven't experienced the SS you think the SG is great. If you have experienced the SS you think the SG is horrible. I'm still taking the test but I am totally going to lose and probably even do worse than my first year. I don't really care though.

Keirstin

Oh well it will be fun any way! What I meant by not knowing what to do, I didn't know the bible bee judges you by how well you know the facts and the verses, not just the verses. O_o

5e9b3d7a3d516bf27fd492df7772c5fd?s=128&d=mm

Keirstin

Yea I'm still here.

Great! Are you tired much from your sleeping hours you got last night?

5e9b3d7a3d516bf27fd492df7772c5fd?s=128&d=mm

Keirstin

Isn't that interesting that 'Bethesda' means house of mercy? I never knew that! That sounds like that should be the name of a ministry or something, doesn't it? I love the name now that I know what it means, ( and to think I almost skipped that section!)

^I know that you've already left, but since you might come back…^

Like Keirstin said, don't give up! I know that it's really, really hard with the SG and being a Junior for the first time, but stick with it the best you can. It's God's Word so it can't be horrible! Even if you don't finish your Study Guide, keep studying the Word of God! Don't take a break like I did a few years ago. You'll always regret it, and you'll be miserable while you do. Sorry, that was a little blunt, but I'm guessing that you don't mind that :). No matter what, love the Bible, even if you don't love the Bible Bee.

Hi, Keirstin! I'm not really here to chat, I just wanted to encourage Hannah.

5e9b3d7a3d516bf27fd492df7772c5fd?s=128&d=mm

Keirstin

Especially when there is only one week left.

Yep! Study, study!
How are your teeth Zach? Hurt much any more?

Hi, Keirstin! I'm not really here to chat, I just wanted to encourage Hannah.

Okay! That also encourages me! Thanks! Have a great week studying!

Good! How far are you on the SG (if you don't mind me asking)? I'm encouraged that you would do it even though you didn't find out about the SG until Week 3. ^and now here I go chatting, when I didn't mean to :P^

5e9b3d7a3d516bf27fd492df7772c5fd?s=128&d=mm

Keirstin

Ummm… I'm on week 5 but I haven't done the other ones as throughly as I would like so hopefully I will have time to read them over more carefully.

My teeth only hurt last Wednesday. The next day they were felling better and they haven't been hurting since then.

Hey Matthew! Quick question about the practice test: When I compile it, do I just add questions to the test and leave 14 out?

61754db001e2e2ef52b2b9212cdda1ec?s=128&d=mm

Matthew Minica

Yeah. Put the best questions on the test and leave the others. However many questions there end up being submitted, there needs to be 150 on the test, as you know. :) I was originally hoping to post a full set of questions for each week, but that hasn't worked out very well. ;)

Hi, Keirstin! Alright. Have you gotten Week 6 printed get?

Nope! We use it online so I just do my best to study that way. Hi Zach!
