A Meditation on Resident Evil:Extinction


Today was probably one of the strangest days of my life! As the final exam for my "Cultivating Meditative Awareness" class, I had to go to an all day meditation retreat which lasts 10 hours. I still can't believe that I actually finished! and honestly right when we were able to leave, i thought to my self, " that was pretty easy!" Although, when i was actually sitting there meditating it was actually pretty hard, like doing the mile run in gym class, but with your mind!!!


The retreat lasted from 7 am until 5 pm, when i got back to my dorm room i was so tired!! i slept until 10:30 pm and then I decided to made some white tea and watch Resident Evil: Extinction!! Which i had never seen before and i imagined that it would be really scary!!! But it turned out to really really good! Sitting on my bed in my 8' x 14' room on the tenth floor of a tower, i felt pretty confident that if there were any zombies around, i would be safe here!!


After the movie was over i went to the bathroom, which everyone shares on our floor, and as i was washing my hands, i almost screamed because i saw feet peeking out from the bathroom stall, and then i turned around and my neighbor walked in and i almost screamed again!! I thought they were zombies!!! hahahaaa o Lordy


So basically, after a long day of meditation followed by zombie movies, i feel extremely thankful that what i was watching was just a movie, and that i was in a safe place.
