For me, east coast time, it's midnight.
I have always been thankful for being on the west coast so i can start at 9:00 PM. I still have an hour to print out and finish my lesson plans for tomorrow, thank goodness! LOLGOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!!! HAPPY READING!
ugh, I'm up at 6 am tomorrow for an early run and then get kids off to school!I'm off to bed :)
see you crazies in the AM!! :) Happy reading everyone! I hope your first book is awesome!
@vicki I agree. It's nice being able to start at 9pm.
Good luck on your lesson plans. I'm assuming they are all done and just need to be printed.
