"Jealousy, yes jealousy, will drive you MAD"

One of my favorite songs from the movie ^

For most of us, midterms have already started and some of us have already gotten some grades back. Midterms have only begun for me, so I’m not entirely stressed out.  I like to take things as they come along, step by step.  Between making time for homework, studying, and actually going to class, there isn’t much time for me to just wind down on my own, so going out and doing something on campus isn’t really what I look forward to. Instead, I’ve decided to relax in my dorm room and have a movie marathon. I haven’t gotten a chance to actually sit down and have the ability to watch a movie without having to worry about other things that I SHOULD be doing. Movie marathons are something that I haven’t really attempted, but there’s a first chance for everything and this week is a perfect week to try it I think; one movie after each midterm to wind down and relax at the end of the day. Tonight, I chose to watch one of my favorites, Moulin Rouge. Musicals are definitely one of my favorite things, so this movie is on the top of my list. I haven’t seen it in a while, so I figured that now was a good time to break it out again. The songs and the storyline keep me entertained, and I don’t have to think so much about what’s going on to keep up. I like the whole story within a story plotline that this movie has (the play in the movie, is basically the story of the movie). I feel like doing something on campus requires you to have some form of energy, which I definitely do not have after taking a huge test. The one thing I look forward to is going back to my room and just crawling into bed and sleeping, so watching a movie is something I have the energy to do.
