Blogger.com is where I’ll be. Goodbye Tumblr. I’ll still visit. :)
A glimpse into the life of an amateur violinist, professional waitress, aspiring teacher, and a lover of The Killers! Enjoy :)
Date night with Brew! She made my night. She took me to violin practice and then we went to Red Robin. We had an awesome waiter who is leaving for Europe in a few days. I want to be him. Then we drove home with the music cranked, belting out Mariah Carrey tunes. Love this girl!! Best memories with her.
To a New Beginning :)
I have finally graduated high school. To be more accurate, I graduated 23 days ago on May 14, 2011. I thought I’d recap on this new chapter in my life and start at the very beginning for you.
Graduation. Man, I loved those shoes. Here’s a picture of my ruby reds that were completely worth the blisters and swollen feet.
I was thankful for 2 things on that day. 1) That I went to Sedgwick (a class of 50) and 2) for technology. I was the valedictorian, which meant I had to give a speech. But, thankfully I live in this day and age and the other two valedictorians and I were able to put a video together, which took the place of a slow death (aka a speech). The video turned out pretty darn good. Although I had my face in my palms the entire time it played. I want to clear some things up, though, about being one of the Three valedictorians. Don’t get me wrong, I am VERY happy for the title and the scholarships I received, but… I feel a little guilty. Like I didn’t work as hard as many students at other schools would have to. I asked for extra credit from my teachers, memorized information and forgot it after the test, got together with classmates and did homework that I didn’t understand. I know it’s hard to believe that I’m probably not the next Albert Einstein, but I honestly just made all As and got by with that, I wish I would have worked harder at remembering a lot of that information. I will admit, it was pretty fun going up on stage and receiving my huge medal, though. All in all, graduation was a great day. I had a party afterwards and it was perfect. What a blessing it was to see all of my friends and family. I felt so loved and happy that day. I was completely amazed at how giving everyone was as well. I definitely hit the jackpot. Which reminds me, I have a ton of thank you letters to finish (I promise I haven’t forgotten you!). Anyways, that day was awesome.
The first week I was out of school, I did some good ole growing up. And now, I am basically as wise as any adult. (haha :D) My first week out of high school I got a job, got another job, quit my old job, got my first paycheck, put a deposit down for an apartment, and lost a lot of sleep. I will admit I had quite a few tears that week and quite a few ‘this is the real world’ moments, but one big lesson I learned that week: You have to do what makes you feel at peace, with God leading you.
Welp, that’s it for now folks. I promise to keep this blog updated! Stay tuned :)
