I think the year 10 formal was the really formal one, with all the puffy dresses, lol. This year is a bit more casual. I just bought a cocktail dress, which was pretty cheap instead of paying like $300 and looks really nice, so I'm happy with my dress.

yeah yr 10 was heaps formal for our school
but when we went with the outher 2 school they were just casual
so the ppl from my school are all a bit over it and going cocktail
whereas the others are going all out

ours is in 2 weeks i am excited about that
it has creaped up so quickly
but at the same time i don't like it
coz my dad leaves on the sun for 3 months :(

Yeah, it should be. This is like the final thing. This is IT! Then it's over and we're never going to see some of the people in our grade again. It's so scary, but it is a nice way to complete school. Post- HSC formals are better because you're relaxed and not stressed out about the HSC.

i got my hair done for both my formals.....and yeh it was pretty good...but it cost about 60 bucks each time.....but then again....i'm glad that i got it done coz i wouldn't have been able to do it myself coz my hair's so bloody thick....i did my own make-up tho.....i think its a waste of time paying for someone to do make-up but a lot of my friends did.....

im sooo excited about my formal now.. its like the only thing i have to look forward to lol
i think ill just do my own makeup.. in the 30 u pay for someone else to do it, for a bit more u buy your own and can do it yourself 15+ times..
ive got my 2nd last dress fitting sometime this week.. then the last one on friday.. its a baby pink kinda ballgown thing and im having black accessories like a shawl, flower in my hair, shoes and bag
ive booked for a manicure and eyebrow wax.. debating on whether i want to have a spray on tan or not.. and i just need to buy nail polish for the occasion and im done
we are going in limos and everyones coming to my house (18 people, 2 x 10 seater limos) and some of us are going on a cruise that one girl in our grade is organising for the afterparty.. yaaay

I got mine in 5 days! So exciting, there's 500 of us in the year, each taking 2 people outside of school and all the teachers (about 150) so it'll be massive. I can't wait! Except it's meant to get kinda boring, 2.5 hours of presentations and speeches ... bah! I don't think there'll be enough time to wander around.

Heaps of people are going for photos and drinks at a hotel before so that'll be fun, then straight into town after from about 12 .... EXCELLENT!

Ooh, this made me all excited! :) Ours is in 5 days too, on Friday night, the last day of the HSC. We're having it the QVB and since we're a country school (well...an hour and a bit out of Sydney) we all have to stay at hotels in the CBD....YAY!!! I can't wait. I have a cocktail dress as well, I'm over the whole formal thing, so this time I got one that's fun and that I can wear again. And then after that we're all flying out together for schoolies!!!! This is going to be the best 2 weeks.
