Movie Night

Last night, there was a big to-do in Nottingham. BYU was hosting an outdoor movie night, complete with games, free t-shirts, and ice cream. Since me and my rommie, Rachel, are such crazy party animals, we had plans to go.

I was pretty lost on the actual "getting there" part (no pun intended), so I grabbed one of my pals from across the way, Justin Smith, and headed over with him as our guide. We were met by a girl from down the hall, Rebeckah Bischoff, who is also in my psychology class and a frequent lunch companion. Basically, we had the ultimate set up for a fantastic evening.

We arrived at Helamen Fields and staked out a spot right in the back with the maximum number of heads blocking our view of the screen and sat for a while, just taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of fellow collegians playing frisbee, diving for t-shirts, and trying to scare us out of our golden spot by laying their blankets down REEEEALLY close to ours.

Finally, the movie started. About thirty minutes into Planet 51, my compadres and I began to notice HUGE lightning forks flashing across the sky at about three minute intervals. And then the rain began. [NOTE: I have been hoping and wishing and praying for rain for the last two weeks. OH THE IRONY!!]


So the movie was taken down, much to my disappointment, and we began sprinting back to our building, dodging the falling icicles as we ran. We got back just in time for the rain to subside. Heh.

This is what we were greeted with.

After we had partly dried, Rachel and I called for our weekly movie companion, Miriam Bennett, to come entertain us with her substantial movie collection. We stayed up until one in the morning watching Never Been Kissed with Drew Barrymore. It was a BLAST. [NOTE: This is the dumbest movie I have ever seen. I do not recommend it.]
