I've Got To Tell You What A State I'm In

Alright alright alright. Middle of November and I'm done with uni this year! Huzzah yay oorahh!  Exams are all done and all I have to do left is work and get my year's worth of exercising before I go home and to Japan. Sounds sort of possible, right?

On the weekend between my exam papers, Amanda, Cam, Jordan and I went to Bandito Folk's EP launch at Black Bear Lodge. There was a huge turnout and the atmosphere was great but being responsible students amidst their exam periods, we didn't drink anything. We also spent the whole day studying, so i guess it makes up for the fact that we even went out at all. The EP was $7 bucks so I got two. The other one now resides with Brandon in the UK. I hadn't replied to his Joshua Keogh EP so I thought this would a perfect opportunity to.

THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ONLY FOR YOUR EYES, BRANDON. 

Last Friday night, Amanda had a little post-exams gathering/farewell dinner since she was returning to Singapore on Tuesday. :C Makes me super sad by the way. Anyways, so we had dinner at Ahmet's, a turkish restaurant at Southbank. We had issues finding parking spaces but the food was good. Everybody got a bit nervous when the bellydancer started going around to tables and getting people to dance with her though. David even made a break for the toilet. After dinner, all of us went back to Amanda's to get her evicted from her apartment. The last time she had us over, we received noise complaints from the neighbours, which wasn't surprising since we were singing along really loudly to our music. Similar to last time, we had a Mario Kart tournament and lots of alcohol but we made a conscious effort to try to be quieter this time around. The next morning when we woke up, it was storming. Crazy winds and rain. We chilled in Amanda's room for about an hour just listening to music and watching funny video clips then went for lunch after the storm died down. After lunch we went back to Amanda's to laze around while the boys watched some car racing thing i can't be bothered to figure out the name of. It was a really good night/day with good company. Such a shame Amanda's not in Brisbane anymore. huuuuuu i'm gonna be so ronery.


The day that Amanda went back to Singapore was the day that Kimberley came down to Brisbane from Adelaide to visit for a couple of days and go to see the Coldplay concert. I went to pick up Kim at Roma Street station and then we came home and got her settled then went for lunch and just spent the day catching up at Southbank. After Karen got off work, we went for drinks together at Jimmy's on the mall and it went on a lot longer than we said it would. But it was really great being able to catch up with people i haven't seen in awhile and talk about things we've heard and try new drinks and everything was marvellous!

Coldplay was tonight! And it was amazing. It was so good. The Pierces and Temper Trap opened for them and Temper Trap was so good! I didn't really care much for The Pierces though. There was confetti, fireworks, light-up wristbands. I don't quite know what else to say except that it was phenomenal and that you had to be there. So the next time Coldplay's playing in town and you're a fan, you should definitely go.
