The Importance of Absurdity

I've really been in a horrible mood today. I just about broke down after 5th period. First of all, the first half of my day was a waste. I litterally did nothing from 7:45-11 but play calculator games and talk. Which is ok for like 1 class. But for 3 straight, it gets annoying. And boring. And a complete waste. I mean really, if I'm not doing anything, I might as well be at home, in bed, sleeping. Or finishing up my prom dress.
Which was the next thing--prom. I've been looking forward to prom for ever. After everything I went through to get my dress, I finally finished hemming it last night and it's the right length. Now I just have to take in the sides for modesty's sake. But my friends are pissing me off. Everything I make a suggestion for what to do, or even just bring it up in general, they all get retarded. I mean, we specifically decided to go as 5 of us girls, no dates. But some people don't want to go to dinner, some people don't want to eat at someone's house, some people don't want to do pictures, some people don't want to eat in their dresses, etc. I mean, for the love of creamed corn! I didn't realize it was up for discussion! Obviously, you get ready, take pictures, eat and then go. That's the way it's done. So now, 48 hours before prom, we have no plans whatsoever. The other part about them that's pissing me off is that none of them paid for everything. Their parents paid for at least part. But here I am paying for my dress, shoes, ticket, dinner (if we go out), etc. Everything. So they're like, "Oh, my $25 ticket was soooo much!". Where I've dished out 4x that. Grrrrr.
And then, on top of all that, my French teacher's being an absolute arse-hole. I have detention tomorrow for not bringing something to class. And she's given us more work in 2 days than we've had all this quarter. Aaarrrggghhh!!! I think I'm gonna explode!
