Prom

Apparently when I ran for Junior Class president I wasn’t fully aware of the irksome class I would have to put up with (or should I say not put up with?) when it came to planning prom? Prom was one of the primary reasons I wanted to take on this role in the “student government,” but it’s so hard to plan and think about with the lack of students and with all of the other various clubs and schoolwork I’ve got on my mind. Although it’s drawing closer and we’ve yet to come to a decision on many things, I feel as though we can still manage to pull off an awesome prom, considering students will begin to show up.

I am disappointed to say that I expect prom to be a very stressful evening accompanied by frenzied mobs of juniors and especially seniors who seek vengeance on me for a horrible prom. Not to be too harsh on my class, but for a good percentage of them, it will be a night they won’t remember anyways. The number of students showing up to our weekly meeting have waned, and there isn’t even enough people to even think about forming committees. Some teachers are beginning to turn to me for answers that I simply don’t have. One reason I remain clueless is merely because I’m not exactly sure how much power we have to do certain things. I don’t know what to expect when I suggest something because I’m not sure what the school will or will not allow us to do, and I refused to be embarrassed by asking a range of questions. One question I will, however ask is: Can it get any harder?
