Junior Prom!

Well, here I am! I find myself back in school after an amazing night at my Junior Prom, a fun day with my friends on Saturday, and my first AP Exam out of the way!

It was great to have both Thursday and Friday off last week. It gave me time to relax and prepare for the prom! I got my nails done on Thursday and my hair done on Friday. When I woke up in the morning on Friday I was SOOO happy and excited. (for once I actually enjoyed getting out of bed and getting started on my day!) I was out and about... running from the tanning salon to the hair salon, and then picking up my date's boutonniere. It was fun to find out that three of my friends from school were getting their hair done at the same place and time as me! We were all excited and talked about where we were headed to next.

By the time I had finished all of my preparations and grabbed a quick bite to eat, it was time to get dressed and do my makeup! A few family members and friends came over the house to see me before I left for the pre-prom festivities :-)

My parents drove me to my friend Christina's house, where we took pictures with a few of our friends. Then we headed to Gina's, where the limo picked us up! It was so fun to take pictures and see everyone dressed up... ever since I was younger I dreamed of the day when I would be one of the older girls, all dressed up and with a boyfriend for a date!

When our limo arrived at the Berkely Plaza, we were greeted by Mr. Luciano, Mr. Reagan, Ms. Piasecki, and Mr. McCoid. Angelo and I got our pictures taken, and then I got to mingle and take pictures with more people! The room was decorated beautifully, and the food buffet was really good. When the night was over, no one wanted to leave!

Even though the weather was pretty bad, I went down the shore with my friends for a little while. It was great to celebrate our prom together and just enjoy each other's company. As I look back, I couldn't have asked for a better time.

Yesterday I took my AP Government and Politics Exam. It was from about 8 to 11. I'm just glad to get that over...phew! Afterwards some of my friends and I went out to Qdoba to celebrate Cinco de Mayo! :-)

I have some more things coming up... the PAC Awards are on Friday night, as well as the Relay for Life at Scotch Plains/Fanwood High School! The UC Smac (Student Movement Against Cancer) helps to organize students to sign up and go. I'll tell you more about it in my next blog! As for next week, the Juniors and Seniors have their Academic Awards Ceremony on Tuesday night. My last AP Exam (English Language) is on Wednesday, and the Senior Prom is next Thursday! It's never a dull moment here at UC.

Hope you're enjoying this beautiful weather as much as I am! I'll be talking to you soon.
