Casa de Manana prom is tonight! Trying to follow the rock and roll theme a little, I wore my black bomber jacket and ripped jeans. I was excited to meet the Casa members and have fun with them at prom. As soon as I walked in, I saw the great decorations, colorful photo-booth, and a lively audience. The Casa residents were enjoying the music, chatting, taking photo-booth pictures with my classmates, drinking champagne and overall having a great time. There wasn’t really anyone dancing though which is why some of my classmates and I decided to get the prom rolling (obviously after taking a bunch of photo-booth pics). We went on the dance floor and encouraged some of the seniors to join us. One of the ladies, Linda, was very happy to dance and she took me to the middle of the dance floor even though no one was there!! I was so shy because everyone was watching us but they cheered us on and I had a really great time dancing with her. She twirled me around, we made some killer moves and eventually got other people to join us. When we were taking a breather, Linda told me she felt so energetic and was really enjoying dancing. After, I talked to some of the seniors sitting down. When I asked them to dance, they said their entertainment was watching all of us! So I instead sat down and answered their questions about the LCS program, my majors and how one of the seniors we talked to worked as an Urban Development Planner for the city of San Diego! After giving away raffle prizes (such pretty succulents), we danced a bit more, talked, ate and I later helped clean up. It was overall a wonderful experience and going to Geisel after, I was still in a party mood!!
