Since arriving in England, I have realised how many movies I watch, and how watching them has a distinct impact on my mood. Sometimes I just need to cry, or laugh, or think, and certain movies are perfect. Movies have such a profound impact on how we think and feel, it's crazy (good or bad I don't know, but crazy none-the-less).
Not having access to certain movies has made me aware of my movie-watching habits. There are some movies that never get old that I watch and rewatch without end. There are some movies that I really want to watch based on my situation. Long story short, I watch a lot of movies, and I miss some of them.

What have we learned from this? Sarah watches too much TV and it is good that she is getting out of her comfort zone. Seriously though, there are some rainy days when watching Bridesmaids or Mean Girls with a group of friends whilst eating ice cream or popcorn (or both) would really improve my mood.
Note: This post is meant for entertainment value only. Please don't take it as my whining about how homesick I am because I don't have access to these things - this is most certainly not the case. I am having a wonderful time in England :)
