Temporary Freedom

Finally. We've been granted a minuscule moment of time. One short, millisecond of a pause from the overwhelming tide of IB. Without this break, I've no doubt we'd all have drowned under the deadlines by now.

Last night was a perfect example of the detriment IB is to our minds.

Relieved and happy at the end of school, we were all set out to celebrate with dinner and a movie. The irony of it all was, once we'd all sat down for dinner, we were too brain dead for lively conversation. We were reduced to blank stares at each other as we silently ate our food. It was all quite amusing actually. Luckily it didn't last long. Once we had our fill of jiao zis (cough
eskorcough), we had enough energy to last throughout the night.

At 9, we met up with the rock climbers to watch what I think is one of the worst movies I've watched this year - Paul Blart Mall Cop. I laughed a total of 3 times in two hours. With a bland storyline and plain stupid slapstick jokes, it was excruciatingly predictable and painful to watch. I don't think I laugh very easily when it comes to movies.

On a lighter note, I'm starting yoga on monday and then I'll somehow find it within me to start my holiday homework.
