Week of Excitement Ends ‘Before I Knew It’
June 6th, 2008
Monday, May 26: I went out of town over Memorial Day weekend, and while I was away I saw many proms going on. Seeing the pretty dresses and the limousines made me feel excited about my own prom the next weekend, and during the car ride home I couldn’t help but think of the upcoming festivities and the excitement that would be shared by all in the following week.
Tuesday, May 27: Getting back to school after the long weekend ensured that the hallways of Langley would be filled with decorations advertising the theme of Midnight Masquerade for the prom. Posters with masks on them lined the hallways and even a few people talked of wearing masks to the dance. While my group arrangements were already in place, I didn’t have a date yet. However, on Tuesday I was asked by someone already in my group, so all of the arrangements remained the same.
Wednesday, May 28: Everything for Saturday was seemingly in place, but I soon found out that our dinner reservations had changed. We were originally going to the Clyde’s in Georgetown, but when we added one more member to our group, they no longer allowed us to keep our reservation there. Then several other restaurants entered our discussions of possible dinner places, but we finally decided on the newest Clyde’s in Ashburn called Willow Creek Farm.
Thursday, May 29: Prom mania seemed to sweep the halls of Langley. Seemingly all people were capable of talking about was the dance. Last minute decisions were being made about limousine reservations, dinner plans were changing rapidly, and nearly every girl was discussing dress colors. It was very interesting seeing kids scrambling around trying to find dates or groups to be in; the limousine reservations seemed to be the deciding factor of how many people could be included. Teachers even went so far as to suggest dates for guys trying to find one at the last minute.
