just take me home

I love my friends. Really, I do. But sometimes they do things that really bother me. Last night (prom night) happened to be one of them. There were a few of us who had planned on going to law school prom. Law school prom consists of a dinner, some awards, and then dancing. They all got there on time, and I (of course) was really late since I had to flat iron my hair, pick up Luis from school, go buy a curling iron, go buy a shirt to wear underneath my dress, etc. When we finally showed up to the Provo Library, I found my friends and quickly discovered that someone had taken our seats at the table. While I'm sure these were very nice people and they probably all enjoyed their time together, the point of us all going to prom was to be able to have fun together. I'm not sure why they didn't think to just go grab our name cards and place them on the table so that no one sat there. Maybe they just completely forgot that we were coming (though I'm not sure why they would since we had spoken about it earlier in the day). Maybe they just didn't want us to sit with them. But here's the thing, if it had been one of them, they would have been super mad if they were forced to go sit somewhere by themselves.

Either way, this left us with the task of finding another table with two empty seats. We eventually found one... full of people that I have never seen in my entire life. So we sat there feeling awkward. At this point, I was really upset and just wanted to go home, but since we had paid for our tickets, I decided we should stay to eat and get my little award. On our way back to the table, I noticed another table with a few of my classmates (whom I'm not really friends with, but we are facebook friends, they're nice people, and I knew they wouldn't just ignore us). So we quickly sat at that table and then went to swap out our water glasses (which we had already taken drinks from). We ended up having a lovely time and getting to know these people a little better.
P.S. Jordan's plaque is bigger than mine but that is ok... at least I got something :)
