oh prom oh nine

When the day of prom finally arrived, I actually wasn't that excited. It was kind of a gloomy day at first, and it rained. But then the sun came out and everything just seemed exciting again.


[My lovely date & I]


[My corsage]

I got some last minute things that day, and then went to get my hair done. I got home later than I wanted, so I kind of had to rush to get ready. Jeff came to pick me up, and we headed to my friend Eva's house. Everyone in our limo met there. Our families took a bajillion pictures before we went off to the Hyatt Harborside, where the prom was being held.


[Posing for the camera]

I was worried we were going to be late, but we weren't. We took some more pictures and had some drinks before we were allowed into the Grand Ballroom. Inside, there was a buffet and we ate before people started to dance. I danced with Jeff of course and my friends. My knees started to hurt, haha. Good thing we could take our shoes off or else those would have killed!!


[What I ate]


[Some of my friends]

After prom, we went bowling at Boston Bowl. People looked at us funny in our prom dresses & tuxedos, but oh well. I was tripping over my dress the whole time so I didn't bowl so well...

The limo dropped everyone off, and I hung out with Jeff the rest of the night. I got home at four in the morning, and slept until like one in the afternoon!! It's the latest I've every slept, haha.

I'm uploading my photos onto Facebook right now. I wish it would hurry up!!

goodbye high school

The last day of high school didn't feel like the end at all. Even at this moment, it still hasn't hit me that I'm DONE. I woke up this morning and tried to think of what homework I had to do!! The answer is NONE.

So on the last day, I basically did nothing in my classes. And then after lunch, all the seniors went to the auditorium to watch the "senior slideshow" made by some fellow classmates. They do it every year, but it wasn't even that great. But after we had our "ice cream social" where we got ice cream sundaes and those huge mugs you can eat soup out of.





I walked around the school for perhaps the last time...bringing back things for home and saying goodbyes to underclassmen. The orchestra class gave all the seniors a card, a flower, and a book about friendship. It was really sweet of them.



Later that night was the annual Awards Night where they hand out scholarships and awards. It's not the most exciting thing in the world, but I always like seeing who gets what. I got the Alfred Della Paolera Memorial Scholarship, Jack Hahn Music Award, and a community service award. I was pretty content with it.

I still have to blog about prom!! I'll do it tomorrow - er, today.

bittersweet

Well today's entry was supposed to be about my last day of high school.

But I just got into an argument with my mother so I'm feeling angry & upset.

I'll just save that for tomorrow, I guess.

AHHH.

I went to the mall after school today with Jeff to pick up his tuxedo for prom.
And then I got a couple things I needed...

Uh yeah so I lost Jeff's phone...I was holding it in my pocket for him when I went to use the restroom. I didn't want it to fall into the toilet so I took it out and placed it on top of the toilet paper dispenser. And then I forgot about it until 15 minutes later. I ran back to the bathroom but it was gone!! We reported it so hopefully maybe there are good people in this world. I doubt it. I feel sooo bad, but Jeff isn't mad at me thankfully.

Tomorrow is my last day of high school. We're going to see the senior slideshow and have ice cream sundaes. I can't wait. Oh and it's Awards Night too! All those long-awaited senior events are coming now - and way too fast.
