Wembly Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Was the movie any good? I've read all the books and actually own the movie but still haven't seen it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Lol, 5 points? They started us at 15 back in 2nd grade I think it was. o.o And last year some kids got up to 100, now that we have english instead of language arts though we don't do AR testing anymore...

livvy Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 You're so lucky to have that system, Noog. So incredibly lucky. You don't have to write an essay on it either, do you? Grr, there was supposed to be a drama meeting today and my phone didn't wake me up until 20 minutes before the meeting, so I missed any chance to get a ride. D= So now I have to hope someone bothers to bring me the script, if I have a role at all. EDIT: Mass-ninja'd. This is what happens when you forget you're posting in the middle of posting.

-Ryan Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 The Eragon movie? Eh, it was okay. -shrug- Sorry you missed your drama thing, Livvy. :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Thanks Ryan. -_- I haven't read the Aragon books. Are they worth reading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I don't know about the Eragon one but I loved Eldest and Brisingr and can't wait for the 4th book. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 So you've read the second and third books but not the first? xP That seems silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 5 points in 4th grade. Last year the award for most AR points was given to someone with 300 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 300? Dangit, I wish we still had AR, I could so beat that! :O Wait, do you guys start over with your goal every quarter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noog Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 300? Dangit, I wish we still had AR, I could so beat that! :O Wait, do you guys start over with your goal every quarter? We have one goal a school year. The points are tracked until the next school year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Oh, seriously? We restarted every quarter. If that's the case then I already beat that kid last year by about 150 points. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I have until monday to read eragon.... Erogon is good. Eldest is also very good, except for the part where they described EVERYTHING about the Elves. The movie had good special effects, but other than that it was ok at best. I kinda wish they continued making movies for the whole series. They can improve over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noog Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Oh, seriously? We restarted every quarter. If that's the case then I already beat that kid last year by about 150 points. xD Yeah, but the 300 point person didn't have any goals above 18 points. :P You had goals constantly keeping you reading. This person didn't even HAVE to take any AR tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 *pokes board* So I keep not posting 'cuz I'm afraid that when I do, someone's going to ninja me, since that happens a lot when I space out in the middle of a post. But I've done that three times now and no one's posted! =0 When we still had AR, we reset our goals every semester. In elementary school I almost always surpassed my goal, but in middle school I didn't have as much time to read as I used to. =\ And now in high school we don't have the AR system at all. On a totally unrelated note, I just figured out that I can sing Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley. Woah. :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstream Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Haha I've done that sometimes too. Not the not posting part, but the spacing out in the middle of the post :P So what's this AR thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I do that all the time. xD Gets annoying when you're on the neoboards though because 10 pages will go by. Dx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishLiz Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 We got out early!!! :D Bye! Have Fun :P My economics teacher taught the class how to get out of jury duty legally :P haha. Wow, that's special. The second or third week after I started my new job last year, I had jury duty. But I fell in the stand-by group. So I didn't even have to go in. See you later, Liz. I've had it twice before. (crazy, huh?) I seem to always get picked after I vote - I vote for everything I can. I was dismissed the first time and then in standby and not called in the second. I know one of them is for the city - I forget what the other was for. This current one is for the county. On a totally unrelated note, I just figured out that I can sing Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley. Woah. :O *looks up song* There are a lot of songs called Hallelujah. We had a reading system kind of like that in middle school, but we had to read a book in a certain level based on a test. Because I tested into the top reading comprehension group (high school seniors or whatever) I could only read books like Jane Eyre, Moby puppyblew, Dickens novels, Wuthering Heights etc. to count towards my total. My friends got to read tiny paperbacks though. :P (I read Jane Eyre because it's not as long as some of the others.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a terribly difficult song, until you go up an octave for soprano range. x_x I recall them trying a system like that sometime in late elementary school. It didn't work out too well.

IrishLiz Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Oh is that the Hallelujah that Rufus Wainwright sings in Shrek? I know that one pretty well. (I can't hear very well where I am - I'm at a sandwich shop.) EDIT: I totally space out in the middle of posting too. Or, sometimes I'll start a post and get distracted on another tab and realized that I never finished the post. :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wembly Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I was definitely going to say the same thing, yay for the shrek song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I do that in convos alot. I'll be halfway through a post then realize I forgot something in a different tab and return 30 minutes later thinking "whoops..." xDDD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Mhm, it's one of the apparently two Hallelujah's from Shrek. :yes: It's a gorgeous song. That's what usually happens to me. I'll be posting and then get distracted by a nonogram or something on YouTube. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
