From previous blog posts, you can see that I have a lot going on. I've been organizing our senior prom since the spring/summer of last year. I've been pretty high-strung lately, and right now this blog is serving as a place to vent. You don't have to talk to me to know that I'm stressed out. It's evident on my face with all of my stress pimples. : D
Problem numero uno, we could not find a place to have prom to save us. A Touch of Class is wayy out there on the other side of town and is one of the most difficult places to find in my opinion. Elmcrest was out because number one I think they were trying to get rid of schools having their proms there, and two because there is a wedding on the ONLY day we could have prom. Due to lovely AP exams and what not, our principal decides that there is one weekend, and one weekend only to have prom. (But it's the weekend before exams, ha.) Oh, and we were also told no senior skip day...wait, what?
Problem numero dos, there are so many elements and bits and pieces that go into this one special night. We had to book a DJ, a place, catering, security, a hypnotist (one of the most important parts of post prom), and parents to sell the tickets. We had to figure out decorations which is a huge hassle but oh-so-fun...so we ended up hiring a professional decorating service to do it for us. : D We picked out the dinner menu, class gift, where we want everything, what time everything needs to be, etc. It's like there's so many details that they all kind of blob into one huge stress pimple. Thank goodness our team of class officers and sponsors are responsible and hard-working, despite all of our busy schedules.
Problem numero tres (I promise this is the last one), people need to stop complaining. Alright, I realize prom tickets aren't cheap. But with all of the things that we have to pay for in order to make this successful, we need to balance out the ticket prices and our budget. We obviously don't want to lose money off of this, but we also don't necessarily need to bring in the big bucks, either. Don't ask me for discounted ticket prices, because I'm sorry, I'm paying the same price everyone else is, too. Also, please don't complain about the place. So..would you rather have prom in the band room or gym and have the dinner in the Black Box? I didn't think so. Be thankful that we called every freaking place in town to hold this prom just so that we wouldn't have to have it at school. And as for all the rumors...to clear things up we do have a DJ, the hypnotist is going to be amazing, and the place IS FINE. They have wedding receptions and stuff there all the time. It's going to look a lot better with all of the decorations and of course all of the people inside it. We have plenty of money, too. Don't complain about prom when I hardly saw a fraction of our class helping out with fundraising and putting on dances and such. Don't complain if you weren't a part of making the money and putting work into this to make it successful.
PHEW so that's the break-down. Get off my back, prom is going to be amazing. And in a few short weeks, you can see that for yourselves.
