“Tonight, tonight won’t be just any night…
Tonight, tonight I’ll see my love tonight…

Today the minutes seem like hours
The hours go so slowly,
And still the sky is light!
Oh moon, grow bright,
And make this endless day endless night!”

Oh, how those lyrics from “West Side Story” ring true today…

I can’t wait until tonight. I’ve been going crazy all morning. Thank God I have study hall now, because I don’t think I could possibly sit through another class. I was getting ready to pull my hair out!

All I want is for the evening to start so I can see Josh, so I can look into his beautiful eyes, and dance close to him and feel his arms around me. But like the song says, every minute seems like an hour today. The day is still new and already I’m going out of my mind because it’s dragging on so slowly. Maybe things will go by faster once they let us out.

I just can’t wait. Even the rain isn’t going to get me down. I’m going to the prom with Josh!
