Prom and School

Today, I have been called to recall a rare and special event in our lives that will take place this school year. Whether it’s about the venue, the dresses, the decorations and so on, they’re all for the same occasion. What is that occasion, you ask. Well, what else could it be but the JS prom.

Some time today, I was able to talk to a batchmate and close friend of my sister that now studies in another country, who I never thought I could comfortably talk to for hours. We mostly talked about each other schools and compared how different it is here from the place where he studies. Then we talked about the common people we knew. At some point, he asked me about prom so we eventually entered the topic and never really left it. I thought that was the entire encounter I would have with that topic today. Well, that is until this afternoon.

During English class, our teacher suddenly decided to have a discussion on proper etiquettes for the prom. That was just plain weird. I mean first my friend, then my English teacher, who’d be next? With that discussion, of course, comes the usual teasing concerning the dates for the prom. It was funny when the class started pairing up people and somehow I knew none of pairs really wanted to go with each other. Still they were fun to tease. It was actually fun to ask people who already asked them and if they’d say yes. Well maybe it’s just me cos I like knowing those kinds of stuff. Though I still find it odd when people just pop questions about the prom all of a sudden.

I just realized how it has been raining hard when I get home and never when I’m in school. I know a typhoon just came and I find it odd that classes haven’t been suspended at least once. It’s so unfair that we can’t get another break. I know we just got back to regular classes from a week of comfort but our teachers are seriously getting very sadistic with the assignments and tests that all the rest we got last week has been used up. I guess I haven’t gotten over my last hangover.
