'American Prom'

We have our Summer Ball on Friday or as most people would call it Prom. The prom we had in Year 11 wasn't that great since there wasn't really enough space for everyone and not everyone got on with each other. But this one will be much better since people do get on and we are having a proper sit down meal with allocated tables! From what I gather everyone is looking forward to it as they should be!
My Dad personally doesn't like the whole idea of prom as it is typically American, but what he doesn't know is that we do it a bit different over here! We don't have the whole 'I must find a date!' thing, we just go with friends which obviously takes away a lot of hassel and we don't have a king and queen, it's not as big a deal here. It's still really fun and I would argue a better way of doing it though I've never experienced an American prom so it's not like I have anything to compare it too!
None the less it will be great! It's also the absolute end of school, not only my last exam on the same day but one of the last times people will see each other, other than maybe results day in August. Luckily I have a class meal the next day so it won't be a big 'Holy hell what am I doing with my life!' as I won't have time to think about it much, which is partly why I like having a full diary! Once it's all over, it's over! And I have had a my faith in Uni choice shaken a bit and choice in subject really but I would assume thats pretty common with a big change. I think maybe I should have applied to a wider range of places, maybe even in different countries. But I have lots of years ahead of me to do things like that :)
