Wednesday is movie night at the Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive, so head over and watch Joseph Losey’s film “Mr. Klein.”

On Friday, get yourself in the holiday spirit with the tree lighting ceremony at Oakland’s Jack London Square.

Keep the campus spirit going on Tuesday with the UC Berkeley Jazz Ensembles Fall Concert at Freight & Salvage.

Thursday’s for the birds — literally. If you’re a birder like me, you might want to check out “Conservation of Waterbirds of the North Bay” at 6:30 p.m. at the Sports Basement on Bryant Street in San Francisco.

On Thursday, head into San Francisco for the Castro Art Walk, a free monthly event featuring local businesses.

Now, keep this current events theme rolling on Tuesday — remember the global climate strike last week? Express your appreciation for this Earth of ours at Roxie Theater at 6 p.m. with a screening of “Moananuiākea: One Ocean. One People. One Canoe.”

On Tuesday, brave the steep UC Berkeley gradient and head over to Stephens Hall at 5 p.m. for a postcard talk from San Francisco-based historian Omar Khan.

For an extra patriotic night, celebrate on the USS Hornet, a World War II-era naval ship that now acts as a museum.

It’s finally Reading, Review and Recitation Week, though you may still have class for the next couple of days. Whether it’s your first dead week or your last, fear not: There are still plenty of opportunities to bust out of your studying routine and get into the winter break spirit.

I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving (while, of course, remembering the history of the holiday and its roots in colonialism). Did you make a pie or three? Or did you spend the day at home with some spaghetti and your favorite TV show?
