Right after I finished yesterday’s journal entry, I opened my BTS group chat to discover that BTS had announced four concerts for April in Las Vegas. So, what does any sane person do when their favourite kpop boy band drops that sort of bomb? They panic, freak out, and quickly rationalise a trip to Sin City. Truthfully, it wasn’t too hard to rationalise because I’ve been planning a birthday trip for Alex’s 31st and it falls on the same week of BTS’ Vegas shows! It really kind of feels like the “stars are aligning” for us to see BTS.

When I say that Alex and I spent over two hours figuring out the who, what, where, when and how of this trip to America in April, I really mean it. The tickets go on presale next week and we’re both signed up so hopefully we’ll be able to get tickets to one of the shows. And yes, you’re understanding me correctly: we don’t even have the tickets yet! We’ve booked our flights and a hotel (and we paid the little bit of extra money to be able to cancel them if we need to) but the only piece of the puzzle that’s missing is our ability to attend the actual concert. So the plans are still super tentative! Fingers crossed that next week we’ll get into the presale and be able to get tickets!!!

I didn’t sleep very long or well last night and I fully conked out on the sofa while playing a video game. I could really use a restful, uninterrupted night of sleep sometimes soon because even little things are making me jump. Why am I so on-edge? Obviously the thought of seeing BTS is probably one of the reasons, but I’m not really sure what the big reason is just yet.
