So I have a cousin here in Jersey who is a senior right now and they are getting ready for prom which is next weekend. I was interested in comparing my high school and Prom experiences with the New Jersey High school. As for a normal weekend they are pretty much the same, but the way they do Prom is quite different. So Prom here starts at 7:00pm and it ends at 11pm. Everyone gets a limo to drive them to the dance and he doors close at like 7:10 and no one else is allowed in. You are not allowed to leave until the dance ends at 11. There is no after-prom party and most everyone goes right home. THEN, the kids all head to the shore (about an hour away) where groups of 15 some seniors have rented beach houses for the rest of the weekend and the 3 days off from school, called "senior week". So I understand having a strict prom, obviously to keep all the kids "safe and sober." But what do they think goes on at the co-ed unsupervised beach house all week. I think what we have here is a prime example of people not wanting to deal with an issue or problem, so they just send it away from their town and pray for the best. Either that our parents here are super-duper naive but I doubt that. I think the school is completely insane, to be so strict at their dance, BUT then aid in the teenage debauchery by giving the kids three days off. Way to cover your ass guys. I spent about 45 mins at my Prom, and did not get back home till like 4. I was safe and sober all night though so I guess I shouldn't really be talking about this. I just wanted to give people a different view of high school prom. Hope you found it interesting.
On a different note, i ha d the cursed register lane at Target today. My scanner gun would stop working half way through, there was random receipts all over and the change "bins" were broken so they would leak over into the bills. I had dimes and pennies stuck inbetween my fives and ones. I had a wonderful night at work.
You get scremo today. Deal with it KAY
