Happiness.

Wow - I am a true slacker. And it's not because there has been nothing to talk about. There is SO much to talk about, but with finals and such coming up, I have been somewhat bombarded by school. Also I would much rather talk to real people than blog about my life, but my little sister has been wanting to see pictures! I miss you Rissa - see you in a week!

On November 22, me and some friends went to SLC to spend the day playing around and to go to the Coldplay concert that night! It was originally supposed to be six of us, but three of the girls decided to meet up with us later that evening.  Here are some pictures of the days events.


So - We were in this planetarium/museum and there was a forecast thing where you could see yourself on the screens and such. I was with Californians so I decided to express my love for the best state in the universe (Texas of course), and after doing so I realized there were like thirty people watching and waiting to try it out.  This would have been embarrassing if I were from any other state I'm sure.

This was the best part of the day. COLDPLAY! Here are pictures of where our tickets were. We were really far away and they were going to look like ants but nonetheless we were excited.
And then, a lady came over who was decked out in Coldplay gear and had a radio and such and asked to see our tickets.  We thought she was just checking to see if we had any so we handed them over.  She said "Wow, these are really far away, I'm sorry." And I just thought to myself "Ok rude person, thanks." Then  she continued "I think I might be able to get you guys a little bit of better seats, but I am not sure if they will be that much greater. How do you feel about that?" And she asked us a trivia question about Coldplay, and thanks to the whispering man sitting in front of us we got it correct. So she took us out in the hall and pulled out and envelope and said "Now these might not be as good as you wanted, but how do you feel about SECOND ROW FLOOR SEATS!?" Me, Katie, and Stephanie started screaming and jumping around and hugging the lady. SECOND ROW, for COLDPLAY! So we excitedly found our seats, and this is how close we were to them! It was one of the most exciting things in the world - that stuff just doesn't always happen!  Obviously, it was an amazing concert and we had the time of our lives.  Moral of the story: Don't think someone is a rude person if they are about to give you the best concert tickets of your life. I know, I'm deep.  I'll post about Thanksgiving in another post!
