Take a Box of Tissues

So I am all settled into my apartment and getting to know my roommates. I will post pictures later.
But last night Marisa and I were at home while all our roommates, who are freshmen, were at the freshman activities invited our friend Brittany Ririe over. We all decided to go see a movie at the cheap theater. We decided to go see My Sister's Keeper. It is a great movie and SAD!!! Anyone who has seen the previews knows this so we took a couple little packages of tissues. We used one whole package wearing the tissues down till they were little shreds. I haven't cried so much in at a movie in a long time. The whole theater was sniffling. I mean I've teared up but last night I was crying. We cam home with puffy eyes and red faces. But although we cried it was a good movie that I would recommend. I really enjoyed it and it made me think how I would react if a family member of mine had cancer or some other sickness. It was interesting to see the family dynamics as the family in the movie struggled to cope. They all coped in diferent ways and had different reactions to everything. It also made me rethink the occupation I want to go into, which is a Child Life Specialist. They work with children in hospitals, helping them to cope with the emotional and mental issues of being sick.
I recommend seeing it but make sure you take a box of tissues!
