Last Week.

I can't believe I survived it, but I did!!!! The car thing was a nightmare. The lightbulb for the Prius are crazy expensive and crazy difficult to put in. So that whole situation was a nightmare. And was very pricey. But it's done and that's what matters.
I did really poorly on a midterm right before leaving for Vegas. So basically when the time came around I was super stressed out and ready to get out of Provo.
My friend Kristian came along with me. We made a pact to pretty much not discuss most of what happened in Vegas. But i CAN say she flew a guy in from LA and i may or may not have danced on tables. It was really fun. It was insanely surreal to see Antoinette walking out of the Stratosphere Hotel to meet me on the street. She smelled like home. It was so good.
She and I went to the airport and dropped Kristian off. Then we drove around and caught up. I was just so content being there. We went out and wandered around for a while. We danced at Studio 54 in the MGM, which had a lot of creepers in it. The DJ was great fun, though, so it was nice just dancing with Antoinette. But the creepers. Oh the creepers...
I also got to hit up H&M which I've missed so much. We got into the TAO Beach Club above the Venetian for free. And we got into Haze at the Aria for FREE (40 dollar value whaaat). Antoinette gambled in the MGM and i watched and told her what plays to make. Oh and i bet 1.00 on the slot machines and lost. Oh well, what can you do.
The next morning Kristian and I drove back. It was a stressful drive because it was raining a lot and my mom and dad were leaving for Paris that day. Also stressful because i realized I would have no access to money with them gone and I'm kind of broke. Anyway, as soon as I got back I dropped Kristian off, grabbed a new shirt, picked up a bunch of people and drove up to SLC for the Jonsi concert.
A moment of silence for this incredible moment.
It was unbelievable. A literal life changing concert and I am not saying the term lightly. I was transfixed the entire time. If you have the ability to see the show... Go do! (Jonsi reference, ndb).
Anyway, I was pretty much dead tired by the end of it all. Melinda and I got food and then went our separate ways.
The next day I had work in the early morning. I was so tired, I really just wanted to call in sick. Because I felt sick. But I rolled out of bed anyway and drove to the lot and walked a ways. It was raining out and I was listening to Jonsi's album. The clouds were hanging low over the mountains and the rain had made the bark of the trees black, so the yellow of the leaves was really quite striking. It was such a perfect moment. I wanted to walk in the cold and wind for eternity listening to that music.
