Movie Movie Movie

Things are getting back into full speed here in Cambridge, and even though physically I'm just about there, i'm mentally not quite there.... the insecurities are kind of creeping up on me once again. Nothing major, but i find i am not picking up the words and sentences sometimes when the lecturer is presenting, or i find myself losing track on where the class is going. And it's a vicious reciprocating cycle because you then spend time thinking or trying to understand what you just heard, and you begin missing the next important point. Anyway, my point is, i think i need to get my emotions back up so that i can learn like the first term. But i know emotion doesn't last, and there needs to be that hard working ethics and focus that i will need to get me anywhere.... argh... so tough... i work so much better under pressure or when i really enjoy something.... potential that i can't tap!

So one of the ritual i've kind of gotten use to here in Cambridge is going to this theater call the Arts Picturehouse. It's a great place to see films, the crowd... reminds me of back home, not just students, sophicated working people, from their 20s to 60s i think. They all kind of hang out there half an hour before the film starts grabbing a snack and having a drink, and just having a merry ol' time. The film selection there have been most excellent.... Slumdog Millionaire (great recommendation!), Cha (had higher expectations), Frost/Nixion (excellent, really enjoyed it, didn't know Frost graduated from Cambridge :D), there was also Waltz with Bashir, and there other great films..... But seen 3 movie in just over a week! Love student pricing, and the wine and beers you can bring into the theater with the soft comfee seats! So relaxing... i think it's one of my fav place in Cambridge for getting away!
