Hello Everyone,

So this past weekend I flew home to attend prom with Albert. The flight was fine, although my back did not appreciated the weight of the luggage. Saturday I got up early to go get my hair done, painful in more than one way, and picked up my flowers from Montague's. Then I went home and worked on my paper and oral report for yesterday. Albert and I got ready later and took some pictures when he realized that he hadn't done his hair yet, so we did his hair, and had to leave for the grandparents' houses for more pictures.

At my gradparents there was minimal difficulty, they even opened the garage for us since it was raining. We finished their roll of film, and my grandma sent us off with cookies and M&M's. Then we went to Al's grandparents house, and his whole family was there! It was a bit intense, but they were all really nice. Al's gradma even made a sexual inuendo, I was taken off guard, but it was pretty funny. Then we headed to prom.

We ended up sitting with some juniors, most of them very decent kids. And then the whole room did the "OOOOOOoooh" chant. Augh. I really didn't know what to do with myself, there were so many people I sort of knew. I talked to Jean and Gillian a little bit, and it was good to see them again. But then Al left me to go visit with some of his friends and I was like " No, don't leave me alone with these people." Not out loud of course. He got invited to several drinking parties after prom, and declined them on account of me. And i was back in my Crookston prude role. We ate the food which was mediocre, we ate the chippers which were great. And we decided we'd had enough, signed ourselves out in case our parents called. (I had trouble with that since I can walk down chicago and franklin without telling my parents but if I leave the Northland I might get into some real trouble.) Said goodbye to Mr. F and Mrs. G. I really like Mrs. G she's totally a city girl, and I'm really sorry that she's stuck in Crookston.

Then we went back to Al's house, I had a minor nervous breakdown, we watched a movie and went to bed relatively early. Whew.

Never agian will I set foot in a prom, or wear that poofy of a dress.
