Freshman's Ball 

I've been always dreaming about a huge and fascinating ball, (like in the Disney cartoons) with lots of people dancing in a big tarnished room, who are dressed up in beautiful charming clothes.

However, my dreams seemed to be shattered, when I got cold and had a flue, and due to my prolonged illness, I felt that horrible feeling of missing something what I really want.

  But, I decided not to give up, and determined to fulfill my desire... So, I drank a lot of tea, and arranged every important thing in time. Fortunately, I started to feel myself better, and I was able to go to the prom.

 Then, the big day came, and I was full of excitement and happiness. I went to the hairdresser, than run to the beautician and I met my friend Dóri and her dad took us to the ball.  I've been that place once, and it was like as I remembered. The night started pretty well, despite there were only a few people there at 11 pm... However, after a while, I started to get bored because nothing impressing had happened so far...

 Honestly, when I actually realized, that it really could not be as it was in my dreams, I had the bitter mixture of disappointment and sadness.

But, that was the point when the unexpected turn of events occurred. Somebody (I don't want to share his or her name.) came around, and asked me to take a photograph with him or her, because his/her hobby is taking pics with lookalikes. 

  I had absolutely no idea what kind of  'alter ego' I might be, but he/she initiated me that I look like a Brazilian football player's wife...I could not decide whether it's a compliment or a joke, however it was rather funny than shocking. So I talked a lot with that person, and he/she was really interesting and I also got to know a lot of other people.

After all, the prom wasn't like as I expected it to be, but it was more like good experience and amusing as well.

  I hope  I will have at least one more opportunity to take part in an event like this... and until this:

Cheers,
