h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Got fitted for my tux today! The jacket and pants are solid black, and the vest and bowtie are a nice silver pattern to match her dress. I'm starting to get excited. It's gonna be so cool.

Too bad prom costs so much though. Today she asked me if I was going to pay for the whole ticket or if we would each pay half. Now I've had enough experience with women to know a trick question when I see one. I gave the right (and the expensive) answer. So that's $84 for the tux and shoes, $45 for my share of the limo, and I haven't even thought about flowers and stuff. And then there's afterprom: I'll probably have to shell out some outrageous price for the privelidge of standing in line for an hour to get jostled around on a roller coaster. Something tells me I won't be going very many places for a while after that.

I wish I could convince my best friend to go. He says he can't afford it, can't dance, can't get a date, and hates dressing up. I guess he's right, but I still wish he would go. Oh well.

I'm mad that one of my other friends, who was planning to go to Kent next year, decided they just couldn't afford it. Now there will only be two freshman from Campbell there, myself included. The other guy is going to play baseball, and they put the atheletes in a different (and probably much nicer) building, so I can't room with him. I hope I get along with my roomate; I'm a little worried about how that will go. I heard that some colleges have you fill out a personality questionaire and match up the closest ones. I think that's a good idea, but the only thing Kent does is make sure smokers and nonsmokers don't room together.

Anyways, looking forward to prom; and wow! Only 34 more school days until graduation! I just can't believe it!
