Last night was prom. It was ok, I’ve been to better dances, but that isn’t the point. Prom isn’t about music or about the decorations, it’s about seeing your high school friends and hanging out with them for what will be one of the last times. It’s about coming together and having a good time. Here are some pictures =)

…and its all done. No more dances. Senior Prom was great! It was just as I expected..I took quite a few pictures that night, some of which turned out, others well, lets call it operators error.At one time we couldn’t figure out why my camera wasn’t working until we realized that it was on video mode. We felt pretty cool after that !! We had it at Cliffbreakers, everything included. Amazing! The night started out slow going waiting for food and drinks, but as soon as 8:05 p.m. hit, it was rock and roll time! I had a lot of fun hanging out and being with my friends for one last dance and probably one of the last times that I see them…
Now with prom out of the way, next thing is graduation!!!! I’ve got three days left of school and a little over a week until the commencement and the party!! Its all coming to an end so fast though.. Not enough time it seems like for the last minute plans that I have while still a high school student.

I finally have a group! To begin with I thought going solo seemed pretty cool. I mean who doesn’t want to be alone with their date? But going with a group is tons of fun! I didn’t think I would have a group, until yesterday that is. On the bus my friend asked if I wanted to be in her group of about six. I said sure! Now we just need to decide where we are going to go for dinner….Hmmmm. I’m so excited for prom now! I just can’t wait!

Big Group? Or small group? Usually teens like to go with all of their friends to prom, but should there be a limit to the group size? I think that keeping the group smaller keeps everybody closer to have a better time than to have a large group and trying to make sure that everyone is happy and no one is getting the feeling of being left out. I thought about this after my date told me that we would be going with atleast 13 people. “Woah!” Maybe I’m wrong, but i think that groups should be of at most six or seven. Just my ideas though!
