So I saw this movie for the first time ever last night - it's called The Godfather. Have you heard of this movie? It's fantastic. It's great. You should really consider checking it out.

Okay, believe it or not, I'm only being mildly facetious here. Because I'd never seen The Godfather before, as I was watching it, I found myself going, "Wow! I'd bet some people I know would love to see this!" only to have that thought killed by the less excitable part of my mind going, "Uh, this is the second best rated film on the Internet Movie Database. It's a cornerstone of American popular culture. They've probably already seen it. Multiple times. Remember how it took you eighteen years to get around to watching Star Wars all the way through?"

On a more personal note, tomorrow I return home for a month. There's nothing new about that; I've left a college to return home a couple of times before in my life. The difference this time around, though, is that I plan on returning to this place once my break is over. To you, that's probably mundane stuff, but for me it's new. And it's a good feeling, too.
