update #29 - Prom

days in US: 290  days left: 41

The past week we got the last things we needed for prom. My host sister did my make up a few times to practice. My last track meet was on Wednesday at Liberty High School. I ran the 4 by 100 m relay, the 4 by 400 m relay and competed in long jump. We won 3rd place in both of the relays.
Saturday we went to bear valley to the second house that belongs to my host family to let the dogs out and clean a little bit. At about 1:30 PM we started to get ready. Then, the other people of our group came and we took pictures in the backyard. We went to a friend's house and had a really fancy dinner.
Our rides picked us up and they took us to the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds where our prom party was.
The room was decorated in a 1920's style. The prom topic was "A Night of Mystery."
In the center was the actual dance floor with a little stage. There was a photo booth and a little snack bar where they handed out M&M's, water and pretzels.
Prom was a lot of fun, even though I can not dance at all, but it is a lot of fun to meet your friends and just hang out with them. As soon as we entered, all the girls took their high heels off.
So, we just danced the night away and it was awesome.
