That is so weird! Here we have totally different class times every day. Some subjects we might do only twice a week. Others every day like maths & english. Same teachers and same students per different class, just different timetables. It was very disconcerting reading this, it just seemed so wrong. Then I thought maybe that's how it is.
Hope that made sense. If not just jump in. We've got about 15 mins to go, I think.
"What's the plan?""When do we ever have a plan?"
"We always have a plan. We just don't stick to it."
"So what's the point of making it? Why not just wing it?"
Jax clares "Are you in the mood to argue with me?"
"Actually I'm in the mood to f*, but our timing's off."
"Isn't it always? Dance lessons might help."
LOL!
So ... school? in AU? not the same I'm guessing?
No that makes perfect sense. But, yeah, different from the US. :) Funny, I hadn't thought about how that would seem weird to people in other countries.
Nope not the same. Thank God. Some classes I just couldn't have done every day, just like Bella hating Volleyball.
Yeah, it added a nice layer of pain on top of an already dreadful experience. Esp when you couldn't stand some of your classmates, the teacher, whatever. SSDD for 12 yrs. LOL! Your way sounds better. Least you'd have a break. Maybe I wouldn't have skipped so many classes .... shhhh, I didn't say that, you didn't hear it either. LOL!!
Yep, actually I hadn't thought about it like that, but you're right, we did have a break from each other, both teachers and other kids.Bella has just been saved from the car wreck happening in the school parking lot. Edward is surprised he can't get Bella to believe he was standing with her when it went down. LOL.
Yeah, sure would'a been nice to have it your way. :)LOL! How'd you do that? Do what? You stopped that truck? I did no such thing, that's not possible. Um-hum, I'm not buyin' it .... hehe
I like this ... I don't need to do a re-read of the series, I just need to chat with you while YOU read it. LOL! :D
LOL. Yes it does seem like that, doesn't it?They're arguing in the hospital now, almost exactly as you said... LOL.
That was the first night I dreamed of Edward Cullen.
Just wait for the "I was certain of three things ...." line. LOL! heheAhhhhhhhh, Edward. LOL! Seriously though, besides being a little infantile {Bella} at times, how are you liking it so far?
If its 3 yrs since you read it, I'm amazed you're so accurate - to within about 2-3 pages. No need to apologise, Top Duck.I think our 24 hours is up.
I think it's very readable so far. Not too juvenile. I'll be sure to laugh at the stupidness rather than scowl. LOL.Twilight page 58.
I believe I read it late '06 or early '07. Not sure. They all tend to come back to me when I talk to others about them {books}. Lost, but not forgotten, I guess. DING 24 hours?! WOW! We made it! :D So, what now? LOL!
I put the rules etc in the 2nd post of this thread.Just totalling my page numbers now, which you will have smashed you fast reader you.
I can't wait to hear what you think when it's all done.
LOL - Not! I'll tally up mine too. Gotta ck GR info though and come back with the #s.Are you answering the "optionals" too?

Plus anything else you feel like adding in.
Definitely the best idea to read with a buddie. Time never dragged, I was always surprised when it was time to stop reading. Can't believe the 24 hours is up! You also learn things about your friends that may not have come up in normal conversation, in this case, in a good way. Go SciFi, Go Steph!!
Beautiful, I'm copyin' you, if that's ok. Just the look-of, I'll post my own answers. LOL :)

6.The easiest part about it: Laughing about life and H/h dramatics, sharing quotes and SCI-FI trivia with my friend and now go-to RATbuddy! Following along while Sandra read books I've already read felt like a re-read freebie. :)
7.Strategy for staying awake: DITTO! Chatting to said friend & occasional cans of soda.
Plus anything else you feel like adding in.
I agree 110% Go Sci-Fi, Go Me! LOL! Nah, I've had the most fun with this! I was a little leary at first, but Sandra made the time fly by and didn't complain about my constant post bombardments. We managed to chat about things outside of books, while reading, and although I knew we had things in common before this, this RAT has proven that to be truer than I would've guessed.
Thank you, Sandra, for doing this with me! And, thank you Mods for allowing us to split between 3 days!
Thank You Steph, it's been a pleasure. Quick hand me a tissue, my eyes are leaking.Don't forget to post in official stats too.
I better go bring in the washing while its still nice and warm. CYA later, alligator.
You too, Sandra! It's been a ton of fun (and that's mainly b/c I was doing it with you). :) *tissue* LOLHope you have a great day! J's home so I'm gonna chill for a bit before diving back into GR groups/posts/challenges/lists madness. :)
