in a blink of an eye

So much preparation, thought, and effort went into this year's function and it passed by within a blink of an eye. Bids went out for $55 and $60 for out of class (five dollar increase... junk). Time went by too quickly and I didn't want function to end. There was a lot of money that was spent towards this function, especially for the girls. Us girlies need the perfect dress and shoes to match, make-up, hair, and possibly nails. Fortunately, I was able to receive all of these luxuries by the time function came, but with the exception of not being able to go to a hotel. The food was good, but I'm pretty sure they had the same menu two years ago. There were many people I have never seen before, which is likely. Everyone looked so nicely dressed and all of the girls payed close attention to their appearance. It was a positive experience and I hope prom will be similar to how I feel about junior function.

Sometimes I think to myself if all of this money is worth one night of fun. Hundreds and hundreds of dollars were spent per person (for me at least) getting prepared for function, not to mention the bids and pictures. I'm sure if a bunch of friends got together, they'd be able to have the same amount of fun, but with half the cost. I'm not saying that function was junk because I had a really great time. However, I just don't want it to be over so soon. Birthday parties may cost a lot of money and take up many hours of planning. All of this work for just four of five hours at a night club. My sweet 16 took place at zanzabar and this event took many hours of planning and it the time just flew by when the actual event took place. Sometimes I wish I could stop time so I can continue this happiness forever. Now I sit here with a grumpy face knowing I have piles of homework ahead of me. There isn't much left in junior year to be excited for anymore. Carnival and Junior Function is now over.... what's left? becoming a senior will be the next new exciting event to take place.
