Race against time

On Tuesdays, my local video library allows you to borrow television series for a week at half price, so yesterday, my mum and I borrowed the second series of 'Gilmore Girls'. Even though it is a relatively old tv show, it is the first time we've ever seen it and it's thanks to my very good friend who recommended it to me. It is such a good show, as you really feel a part of the characters lives in the small town of Stars Hollow. For anyone who doesn't know what it's about, 'Gilmore Girls' is a comedy-drama show about the everyday lives of Lorelai, mother to sixteen year old Rory. As it is about a mother and daughter and their relationship, it makes it really nice sharing this tv experience with my mum. I am thoroughly enjoying it and would recommend the show to people who really like sarcastic sense of humour- I've been laughing so much with this show and have come to the conclusion that I would definitely be friends with Lorelai.

However, it's not my intention to talk about the show, other than saying that it is really entertaining. Instead, I'm going to talk about how my mum and I have spent the last two days:
So we borrowed the second series yesterday and then realised that we were away next Tuesday which is when it is due. This then lead to the realisation that we had until this Thursday to finish the entire series two because that will be our last opportunity to return it. That means 22 episodes- that is six discs- that we have to watch in only three days. So what we have been doing watching as much as possible whenever we have free time. Forget about homework; last night when I came back from uni, mum and I spent the evening watching the first two discs. WE ARE ON A MISSION! Today when I got back from uni, turn on the tv. We took turns preparing dinner, so we would always have someone in front of the tv to tell what the other person has missed while stirring the meal on the stove. Dinner was on the couch, and do I have any homework? Yes, I have three essays due soon which I haven't started yet (or even looked at), but I'm sorry, I have priorities, which is getting through these episodes. Tonight we watched all of disc three and started disc four. Tomorrow I have work, but as soon as I get home, mum and I are going to try and power through discs four, five and six.

It is a race against time! Who knows if we can make it! But one thing is for certain: my mum and I (even though we both realise that we are absolutely crazy and should really seek therapy of some kind) are going to do the very best we can and watch as much of Gilmore Girls series two as possible! We have to know what happens and if that means losing our sanity, so be it!
