Our teachers from the big city are still soo confused with the fact that we have prom
We were discussing about what everyone is gonna wear and of course some people are a little extra and the teachers are shocked like wow you'll wear what and the whole event is such a big thing and they're like 👁👄👁say what now
And someone was like "how do you do proms in Athens?"🤨
"We don't kids. The first time I saw this happening was last year when I came here."
Like, proms aren't a thing in Greece ajajsjs
I always knew that, but when I went to high school and saw proms happening I just accepted the fact, but we're really out of the norm here😭😂
The whole country: yeah we do normal school activities like reading boo-
My school in the middle of nowhere: hey yall free for a rehearsal of waltz tomorrow?
Also to clarify-cause this sounds expensive, it's not- I'm not going to a private school or something, and we do proms in order to save money for the school trip (πενταήμερη) our parents will pay the ticket in order to get in and sit around in the tables and watch all of us dance on stage while they eat while we also have a lottery thing going on and all of is will have fun at the event I guess
Also, the waltz/bachata/traditional(λαϊκά) dances aren't like provided by the school, we found teachers who supposedly were willing to teach us for free(but ended up asking for money anyway, but it's 5€ per kid so whatever...)And we do this in our free times in weekends or during breaks at school by ourselves, (the freshmen were kinda like the fuck? When we started dancing next to the volley field, But I think they got used to it by now)
