Still can't get over LIT II!!!

Hmm.... I guess I should preorder. Does anyone know if Amazon or another website can have delivered the day of release? The problem is the EP comes out the day I head home for Thanksgiving break, and the holiday, which is 2 days later, could delay the mail and mess things up. So I'm not sure whether I should have it shipped to my house or up to me at school.

OMG LIT II. EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER WANTED IN A PIECE OF MUSIC. Thank you, Coldplay. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! :D

Night Carla! :) Thanks for the tips!

Finally! Glass of Water! Too bad that was the one I already knew... but it's still amazing! :D

They STILL won't give me anything other than Prospekt's March! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to keep trying. This is far more important than homework anyway.

Thanks! :) And now I know I will be sitting here all night rubbing this stupid glass of water instead of writing my paper that's due tomorrow. But isn't that the way it should be? ;)

Wait-- Carla, it has to do with the way you rub?? Tell me!!!!!

I've gotten Prospekt's March 4 times and nothing else! I am LOVING it of course, but I want to get some of the others too! :P

That's funny because not long after they announced the news of Obama's victory, one of my friends turned to me and said, "They really need to play Viva La Vida in the background of his victory speech!"

Aw I am loving this interview, but it's making me miss my city! :cry:

Strawberryfields- Very very very pretty dress! I love it! :D

Yeah-- test scores mean absolutely nothing as an indicator of how much one has actually learned.

I agree that there are problems in the public education system, but I wouldn't call it propaganda. Right now, with No Child Left Behind, there is too much of an emphasis on testing and improving test scores and holding schools accountable for failing scores. Instead of giving students the opportunity to go to better schools (which is fine as a temporary solution), we need to focus more on improving these schools that are failing, which means more funds for them. Something isn't right in this country when people in New York City will pay millions to build new baseball stadiums while only a few blocks away, there are classes being held in stairwells and not enough textbooks for every student. And to be honest, neither presidential candidate took a stance on education that I could agree with. :\ However, on other issues, I agreed with Obama the most, and hopefully these aspects of the educational system here will change over time.

I can't wait to see this country turn around. :)

:D So. Happy.

We're all crying here too. I am so ecstatic. There are no words. :D :D :D :D :D :D

What an amazing night for them! Super jealous, of course, but I'm happy that some fantastic Coldplaying members were able to have a well-deserved awesome Coldplay experience tonight! :D Was that even a coherent sentence? I'm just so excited for them!!! :D

I'm sorry, Noelia. You know I would totally have this listening party with you if I could! ;) It's not like I want to be waking up at 6:30 AM so I can go into Rochester to practice teaching small children... :P

:stunned: Is that our Carla from the Netherlands?

Boooooo, I'll be heading out on a school visit. :( Someone record it, pretty please?

Wooo! I am definitely in for a listening party! Do you know what time this is happening? I have a busy day on Wednesday but hopefully it will happen when I can devote an hour to sitting at my computer. :P

Yay! I'm glad we have a feasible plan B now! :D But still... come on, Debs! :P What's taking you so long?!?!

:( This is torturoussss........

Aww, that's really sweet that he mentioned us and all you fantastic sign people! Go R#42! :D
