Prom

Ahh, prom season, one of the most exciting times of high school. This year, it seemed to come and go quickly for me. It has only been two days now, but it feels infinitely far away. It was a night of dancing and friendship, and of relationships and smiles.

For me, it started at 2:00, when the first pictures were taken by my family and my girlfriend's family. We took pictures for about 30 minutes and then headed to a professional photographer. After another 30 minutes, we went to an hour long session of photo taking at a friend's house. I have a twitch in my cheek that happens when I smile too much. It's really sad, but true, and by the friend's house, the twitch was in full motion.

After all of the excessive photo shoots, it was dinner time. We ate a very large meal at another friend's house with about 16 people. It was a great way to ease into the dance, by socializing for a few hours over steak and soft rolls. 8:30 rolled around and it was time to go to the dance.

The dance was great, we spent the entire time on the dance floor, not one moment was sacrificed for a break. Just a group of friends having the time of our lives. It truely was an incredible evening. I threw out some killer moves like the sprinkler and the John Wall. Needless to say, I was a total hit.

After prom consisted of going to yet another friend's house and playing killer ping pong, a variation of ping pong where as many people as you want can play. This then lead to a break for a game of apples to apples, followed by an hour of mindless giggling and smiling at absolutley anything in the English language. His mother then made us breakfast and I was off to take my prom date home, and eventually, to get to my own bed. I fell asleep at 9 AM that morning and didn't wake up until 3 PM. Prom was amazing!
