Prom

Prom was already a week ago. It's hard to imagine that time passes by so fast. I can't believe I forgot to write about this topic until now. Prom was an experience I would never forget. It was cool riding in a limo and seeing everyone all dressed up. That was only my second time riding in a limo, the other time was for my cousin's wedding. I was amazed with all of the people there, I was surprised to see that there were actually a lot of juniors there too. A lot of pictures were taken, however, none of the pictures were taken by my camera. I idioticly forgot my camera at home, when I was rushing down the stairs when my date rang the doorbell. Because I only knew I was going to prom last minute, I therefore scheduled my make-up appointments last minute. Obviously with so many proms on the 28th of April, everywhere was booked. The only time I could get was at 3:15. I was only done at 4:15, which was nerve wrecking because my date told me he was going to pick me up at 5. Next year, I know that I have to get everything planned out and ready far in advance, in order to get rid of all of the chaos that happened before the prom.
Getting the dress for prom was really stressful. I had to go to five different stores to find the perfect dress, that was actually my size. What made it harder was that my date already bought his tux, so I had to match with a royal blue. I would have thought that this is an easy color to find, but I was wrong. It took me three different days of looking just finding the right one. Even after I found it, I had to get it altered since I was way to short for the dress. Even after it was altered, it was still too long. Thoughout the night, I had everyone stepping on it. I started to get a little paranoid, worried that someone would step on it while I was walking, unexpectedly ripping it or something. That would have cost a lot of money for that dress in addition to the humiliation I would have went through. Now I know that next year i can't buy a dress that touches the floor.
The theme for prom was red carpet or something like that. I loved all of the centerpieces placed in the middle of the table, and the delicious food. At prom, I actually ran into my long lost friend, who I was friends with since preschool. She said that her date was boring and said that he thought she had cooties, so we actually got to spend the whole night together. We had a great time even without her date. We caught up with old stories, danced, and just enjoyed each other's company along with my date. It was surprising to know that...
I didn't get to go to an after-party because of the commmunity service project I had to do the next day at 8:00 in the morning. However, I do hope to stay overnight at a hotel next year. I just hope we get to planning the after party in advance.
Now that I know what is expected, and what needs to be done for prom, I will be prepared for next year. I just hope I have as much fun as I did this year.
