Prize = Movie night!

I don't know if I mentioned earlier in my blog (and am too lazy to check back to see) a fund raiser that my residence halls did as a part of the "12 Day of Christmas" activities in December. We had a floor competition to raise money for our local food bank. The floor that raised the most money won a movie night at my apartment. The total raised was over $1,100! I was very proud of the generosity that these young people exhibited!

Anyway, the floor that won was Kratz One- a girl's floor. They came up with the movie and menu ideas. So on Wednesday evening we watched "Mama Mia" and ate tortilla chips with salsa cheese dip, pizza, and milk & cookies. It was SO much fun!


I had gone to see "Mama Mia" in the theaters this summer when it was released. I didn't love it that time, but this time I really had fun with it. It's interesting to me that when I saw the movie this summer I was with 2 friends that are 10 - 15 years older than me - I found myself relating myself to the young woman in the movie when I saw it with them. This time I was with a group of girls who were 15 years younger than me and I found myself relating more to the older women in the movie. I think that plus the fact that the entire room was singing along with the Abba songs this time is what made me enjoy it more the second time around.
