Action, Relaxin', Break Time

It's almost here. I can feel it. Things are looking up because Thanksgiving break is only 2 days away! Count it, one-two! That's it! I am very excited. Fall Break seems like it was forever ago with so many assignments, tests, and cross country races filling the weeks. I am looking forward to a couple of days where I can take a break from homework and stress, some time to just relax.

But I can't let myself relax too soon because I have one more test to get through before my brain will officially be on break. It's hard to make that final push of thorough studying when I know that break is so close. I would love to be on break now, but this test is keeping me tied to my books. At least I can take comfort in knowing that tonight is the last night that I'll have to spend studying. Just one more night, just a few more hours.

I have to admit that these past 3 or 4 days haven't been the most productive due to my relaxed state of mind. On Thursday night the local movie theater was showing three free movies for Luther students who have a student activities card. The theater has a deal with Luther so that there's a free movie night about once a month. So I went with a few friends to the new James Bond movie. We had to stand in line outside of the theater for about 30 minutes because so many students showed up and the doors didn't open until 9pm, with movies starting about 9:15. That got to be pretty chilly, but a nice alternative to studying.

That was the first time I've gone to one of the free movie nights and I thought it was worth the time of waiting in line. I didn't understand much of the story line in the 007 movie, but the action was really cool. I think if I would've seen Casino Royale I would've known more of the story line, but I enjoyed feeling like part of the real world instead of always staying in my Luther bubble. I'm looking forward to a few days of break outside of Luther, but I know I will be ready to come back to my dorm, my friends, and my routine.
