I am not going to lie, I have spent the past few days holed up in my apartment reading the Twilight Saga books. The first day I started reading, I stayed up until five in the morning. The next day I stayed up until two, but the early bedtime was due to work the next morning and not because the sequel was any less riveting. Yesterday I lay in bed for five hours reading and the only reason I got up was because I was late to my friend's engagement party. Today was pretty much the same story, only more so. I had zero food in the house so was eating crackers and salsa for breakfast and lunch until luckily, I finished number three at sixish and allowed myself to go to the market. I've got the last book to read and I'm determined to finish it by Tuesday night, which will have been a week since I started the series. Thirty two hundred pages, not bad.
If I find any of my students sneaking this book under their desks during lessons, I'm just going to escort them out into the hallway with my blessing to skip class until they are done. It's not like you can concentrate on ANYTHING while your head is residing in Forks, Washington.
(True story: I went to a concert on Thursday night and brought the book with me to read before the show started. I did put it down during the performance, but felt my mind wandering to Bella and Jacob between songs.)
I can't believe I resisted for so long. People, if you are a teacher or have teenage kids or really if you want to remain relevant in society, JUST FUCKING READ THE BOOKS.
(Also: I have a mad girl crush on Kristen Stewart.)

I finally gave in and I am happy I did. I loved #1, #2 made me want to tear my hair out because it reminded me too much of working with crying teens, and I am holding out for #3...
I was also a late adopter of Harry Potter. That was dumb, too. I should learn to jump on the teen saga bandwagon more quickly. I am a fool to resist.
