My prom is the 2nd of July. A big distance away from my last exam (June 18th)....
My 'study leave' starts on Thursday but they're giving us a timetable so that we come in and revise for certain subjects. I think that there will be 'free periods' though where we just go home... I won't know til Thursday... so basically my timetable isn't collasping, we're just getting a new one :P
Ours is the same day as the final exam. Most people finish exams on 12th june tho. So they get a week to 'prepare'Quote:

it feels good :)
Well I would expect people in my school to be more reluctant to go to the prom when the exams have well finished, seeing as the majority of people will be doing their own thing like going on holiday and getting jobs. It's much easier to keep in contact and sort out the prom whilst you are still at school and since exams at my school started about two weeks ago (art, p.e, languages (the more practical subjects)) the best time is to do it around now because in April would just be silly tbh considering the leaving day is the end of May and exams finish the end of June.Quote:

I'm just sayign that it's best to celebrate the end of school when exams are actually over. I'm sure it would also be more relaxing afterwards. Plus I'm sure people would have known about the prom for ages anyway.Quote:

I think I'll miss seeing quite alot of people from my school. Not so much my main group of friends, but more the acquaintance of the others I have spent time with. As those are the people that I won't see anymore, atleast not after the exam period has finished. In a way I also regret the fact that I didn't take time to try and get to know these people better, once again it's quite saddening. I guess I might be seeing some of them at Collages but there won't be any one time again where everyone I've known from the past 5 years will be under the same roof. Seems strange with saying this really that I didn't go to my school prom, quite ironic.Quote:

Eamonn why would people who don't care about the prom want to go anyway?
hmph
You obviously haven't understood what I have said.Quote:

I happen to know this and value my own opinion over yours because I go to my school, I know the people and you don't
