Twilight

Yes I am a nerd! I started late Wednesday night and I have just finished the first two books in the Twilight series and later today I will be starting the third. Once I am hooked there is no hope. I received the book from one of my students. I happen to be in a book with her mom and she really wants the group to read this book. And Jackie keeps bothering me to read the books too so she can talk to me about them. I have to say that the first book was much better than the second. I found the second a bit weird, even though the series is about vampires. I have heard that the third is good like the first so I have my own opinion shortly. I do have to say that I am slightly annoyed at the words that Stephanie Meyer is a bit frustrating, who uses words like stymie (frustrate) and kismet (fate) and dither (highly nervous). And I hate to admit that I didn't know what those words meant, yes I looked them up in the dictionary (among others). It was by my side as I read. Though I can understand the book without looking up what the words mean, the teacher in me just won't allow me to do so. So sad I know.

This not having to work and not able to drive makes me stuck in my apartment so I have nothing to do but read (or watch tv - and I have had my fill). I am going to be sad when I have to go back to work next week, but I also get to go to the gym. Yes, I have to take it lightly, but I am still so excited to get back in there!
