So. It's Monday. The fifth of May. In other words...IB EXAM TIME. Augh. x.x.x.x

This morning was paper 1 of the English exam. The rest of this week is two days (three papers) each of history and chemistry, next Monday is some more English, and next Friday is French. And then IT IS ALL OVAR. Hah. I will be teh most happiest person around. ^^

Anyway. I know I haven't updated in weeks, and I can't really remember the subject of my last entry. I guess I'll start with Prom and associated festivities. (WARNING: This entry is likely to be freaking LONG. Avoid if you do not think this is cool. Sorry, I'm rather verbose.)

On Wednesday, I went to Kellye's house to practice the Time Warp and Thriller for the purpose of doing one or both of them at Prom. Stacy, Katie, and Kristen were also there, and maybe some other people I can't remember (not leaving anyone out on purpose, rly! if it's you, sry!!). I sort of learned the Time Warp. Thriller was quickly discarded after we realized how freaking impossible it is (and found a particularly mind-scarring '80s how-to video starring Zombie Dancin' Kim, found below).

How To Do The Thriller

Okay. Now that I've sufficiently '80s-ified all yur brainz, we can continue.

On Friday, Kellye picked me up again and we went to a bead store near my house to look for beads with which to make our Prom jewelry. I discovered that it is remarkably difficult to match normal beads (eg crystals) with off-white - I ended up using pearls and some pinkish-purple crystals that actually ended up matching the flower detail on my dress rather well. I made the jewelry (necklace, bracelet, earrings) on Friday night and Saturday morning, with the help of some purportedly invisible string and large quantities of hot glue (knots are overrated).

After getting the beads, we went to Kristin's house, where we were met by a few other people for the purpose of continuing to learn the Time Warp. (This second incident provoked a rather amusing comment by my mother to the effect that she thought 'learning the Time Warp' was some kind of code for getting drunk, or somesuch rather amusing nonsense.) After this second dance-session, I was actually getting pretty good at the Time Warp! Surprising, because usually I suck at choreography. XD

Saturday = Prom proper. Back to Kristin's house to get ready. I went with Em, and we went to Ulta beforehand to pick up some hair gel/spray/general supplies. I also bought some new makeup - generally a good thing to have, even if I don't wear it often. I wore the same dress I wore for some of my senior pictures, which I bought for $30 at the beginning of last summer (read: after Prom season). Kristin's parents took large quantities of photos of us all before allowing us to set out to find El Jebel. Em and I were somehow the first ones there (well, from Kristin's house anyway - overall, Stacy beat us) and ended up being rather worried that no one else was going to show up before they closed the doors - but thankfully everyone somehow managed it, so all was good. ^^ I ate salmon for dinner (it was pretty good), was dragged onto the dance floor by Sarah, and spent most of the remainder of the night in the restroom playing cards with Stacy and Kelsey. ^^ (Oh, and somehow while I was there I managed to miss the Time Warp ;-; I was actually kind of looking forward to it!)

After Prom was okay, once I got there - somehow I don't think Kellye got the memo that I was going with her to After Prom and home afterwards, so I ended up having to catch a ride with one of the administrator-folks. o.O;; The graphologist was mostly right, if a bit repetitive - Stacy, Kelsey, and I all went together, and he tended to use exactly the same phrasing and ideas for at least a couple of us. Also, he said that Kelsey and I were procrastinators - but not Stacy. Meh?

I lost 100 fake moneyz playing Blackjack (started with 500) and didn't win any door prizes. I was too tired to trust myself with the various bouncy-inflatable-things (Twister, obstacle course, etc). But still - I guess it was okay, and I'm glad I went just so I can say I did. ^^

We've pretty much just been reviewing in all our classes. Boring. Pretty pointless. After all, who studies in class when they can, say, read? Or play cards? Or sleep? *cough*noone*cough*

Oh, and there was the academic awards thingy last Wednesday, at which I won the math award, Kelsey got one of the French awards, and Casey got music. I sat next to Sarah, so she pretty much leaned on me the whole night. No comment, except perhaps a continued discussion of how the hell we're ever going to be able to get her elected president. After all, she's a bit...odd (No offence! It's a good thing! [just maybe not to your average American voter] ^^).

Aaand...I think that's pretty much it. I ordered some shoes off the internetz yesterday, and somehow got my mom to order me a swimsuit. I hope they fit. Also, I'm still looking around for a good deal on a tablet. And assorted awesome clothes. o.o

My mommy's picking me up soon. I should go study history, but I know I'll probably end up messing around on the internetz or watching TV or something. Oh well - we always knew I was going to fail that one, eh?

'Til next time! ^^
