A few remaining stray thoughts on Proom and its aftermath

A number of people have come down with "Prom flu" - all with pretty much the same symptoms. Most people are blaming food poisoning, which I doubt - 36 hours is too long a lead time for food poisoning, and it shouldn't cause a fever, which all of us had. I think someone came to proom shedding virus and managed to infect a whole bunch of us somehow (one good sneeze?).

I probably shouldn't have had solid food yesterday, but I managed a little today, too. Not much. (Partly because someone stole my yogurt.) Still mostly drinking tea and Gatorade.

There were a lot of interracial couples at proom. This is not terribly surprising, given that there is no majority population at our school. (We're approximately 35% Hispanic, 30% black, 15% Asian, and 10% white. Yes, I know those terms all refer to different things. I'll deal with that some other time.) However, the different multiculti pairings that I saw did surprise me a bit:( Listing behind the cut )
