This weekend was homecoming and it was a blast! Starting last Wednesday, there were homecoming activities. They had a dodgeball tournament, a comedian on thrusday, and a bon fire on Friday. There was a parade Saturday morning and then the dance Saturday night. The theme was Hollywood nights. I heard they were having an outside company come in to decorate. When I got there, I was a little disappointed in the decorations. It doesn’t matter tho, cuz it’s not the decorations that make the dance. I also heard that they had limos for us. It sounds kind of corny, but they had 3 limos picking students up in front of the kenedy center, driving them maybe ½ mile to the coleman center, the athletic center. My boyfriend didn’t see the purpose of waiting like 7 minutes for a 2 minute ride, but it was part of the experience. We went down early for dinner. The dinner is free to the first 400 people to go get tickets. It was delicious and the deserts were great. The dance was so much better than my high school dances. The dance floor was packed tight. At my high school, there people were always very spread out, and probably only half the people there were dancing at any given time. Not this. It was really fun. Originally, I was going to wear one of my fancier prom dresses, but ended up opting for the little black dress per request from my boyfriend Zak. I think that I may have felt out of place if I had worn something super fancy.

Homecoming was a big relief for me. I had spent the whole week before studying for my chemistry midterm. (I’m not sure how homecoming and a chem. test fit in the same blog, but I’m doing it anyway.) I actually didn’t participate in many of the homecoming activities during the week cuz of the upcoming test. I have Professor John Andrews. He is very competent and moves kind of fast. Don’t misunderstand me, he is not a bad teacher moving too fast for you to keep up, you just have to make a conscious effort to stay ahead. It all worked out tho, cuz Katrina, who is in that class with me, and I dominated the test. I guess a week of hard studying returns good rewards, homecoming and a good grade.
