Ahhh... Summer at last!

Well, I've been done with school for a week now. I can't believe how few blog posts I've done this semester! I need to catch up on my birthday blogs and everything else that's been going on before I go on my trips. :)

My last final was last Tuesday, and I'm so glad I successfully completed my first semester at ICC. My fall semester won't be so overwhelming now that I've had a little experience with just a couple classes. I'm still dreading next semester because I know school will pretty much be my life. Oh well, I'll enjoy the summer and then deal with it. :)

Last weekend was my Graduation Open House. I thought it was going to be a slim turnout, but there a was a lot of people that came! Our house was definitely a full house. I'll post pictures after I get them uploaded. But thanks so much to everyone who came!! I soo appreciate it.
Well, I guess I've officially graduated now. Do I now call myself a Freshman? Time to start at a new beginning again... :)

I bought a new camera with my graduation money, and I am LOVING it!! Be prepared for lots of pictures. :) I took 25 with my mom's camera at my graduation, but around 60 for Jenna's graduation with my new camera. :)

Well, that's all for now...I'm not really sure what else to write about. I'll write about the rest in pictures.

Have a great day and enjoy the sunshine!

Happy 50th, Mom!

Oh, goodness this is really late. :\ But better late than never! (btw, I have a ton of birthday blogs to catch up on, so be prepared!:)

HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY to MOM!!!! To celebrate we went out for lunch with some friends, and then that evening we went to Monical's for dinner. I tried to make it special, so I hope she enjoyed the day. :)

Love you LOTS, Mom!!!! <3

Ballet Performance

Wow, has it really been two weeks since I updated this thing?

As you know, my orchestra had our performance with the ballet about two weeks ago. It was so much fun. The applause was louder than it's ever been. :)
My conductor likes to do the seating a different way and put the better people along the outside. So, I wasn't with my usual stand partner, and I got to be with Sarah instead! :)

I really wish I could've watched the dancers instead of my music. I was hoping I could get a video of the whole performance, but I'm not sure if I can get yet.

I had quite the fan club come see me (and of course the ballet too :). I loved seeing these girls/ladies!

We went to DQ afterwards for fun. :)

School Update: (Yes, AGAIN)

I feel sooo unmotivated these days. I am EXTREMELY ready for school to done for this semester. I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to survive 2 more years of this. :) My mom told me, "This is going to be a looong 2 years." My poor family has to live with the stressed out Wendi. But hopefully it will be better next semester as I won't have as much "high school" activites and events going on.

That's all for now... I really do have a lot of birthday blogs to catch up on. We had a virus on our computer, so I wasn't able to upload the pictures.

I have a huge test on Tuesday(almost like a huge final) and so after that, I will be back to my blog. But for now, I need to do some major studying.

Love you all, and have a great day!!! <3

Stuff

It's been a while. I know, I say that every single time I write. :) I am definitely not going to quit this blog, just don't expect as many updates. If you look under my archives, the number of posts per month keeps decreasing. :/ After I get done writing papers for English, the last thing I want to do is write more on my blog.
OK, time to start getting ya'll up to date.


I'll start with school since my life pretty much revolves around it. It's going really well. I just had a test last week in Accounting that was soo hard and I was positive I almost failed it. But, I got an A. :) It totally motivates me when all my hard studying pays off.
I've already signed up for my classes for next Fall. I'm not doing any summer classes because I just want to enjoy the summer. I have a head start anyways by doing classes this Spring.


That takes me to summer. *Sigh* I cannot wait. I'm going to be gone 3 weeks to 3 different places... which I love! We're spending a week in Wisconsin as usual, I'm going to Mexico with our Bible Class, and then I'm going to spend a week at Larry & Jill's in Kansas.
Our family's last two summers have been a little crazy and abnormal, so I'm hoping we can enjoy this one. Swimming is of course on the top of my list. :)


Tonight is my second to last night of Orchestra EVER. :( Even though I've been too busy to enjoy it this semester, I'm still sad it's over. But, it will be super nice to have my Thursday nights free.
So. I'm inviting anyone and everyone to my last two orchestra events.

This Sunday, April 18th we are joining the Peoria Ballet for a concert. The ballet will be on the stage, and our orchestra will be down below the stage. It's at 7pm at the Metamora High School. It should be really neat...

Then, the next Sunday, April 25th is our actual Spring concert. Once again it's at Metamora, but it's at 2pm in the afternoon. Since I am a Senior, I'll be recognized, because it's my last concert ever.
SO, I hope to see some of you there. Don't feel obligated... but I love to see people there that come just for me! :)


OK, time to get my homework done before class.
I'll update later with lots of birthday blogs I need to catch up on! :)

To My Dearest Jamie

Sorry this is a few days late, Miss Jaim. BUT... HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of the cutest people I know!! :)

You make me smile. Really big. :-)

LOVE YOU SO MUCH GIRLY!!

W/J! ;)

I want Spring break for the rest of my life...

Here's my ADORABLE little cousin, Audrey. :) I had to put it on here because she's just too cute! :)

Sorry it's been so long since my last post. Updating my blog isn't exactly a high priority on my list of things to do.

*sigh* I have so much I could blog about, I don't know where to begin.

Last week was my Spring Break. It was absolutely fabulous. I got to go on lots of walks/runs and lay out since the weather was just so beautiful. Everyone asked me if I went somewhere over spring break...but who needs Florida when you've got the great Central Illinois weather? ;)

It was great getting caught up with stuff. But actually... Spring break was a really bad thing for me. I don't want to go back to school. Break was so great. I got to do whatever I felt like doing, and I totally had the time for it. Plus,I didn't do homework all week like I should've, and now I forget stuff and I'm a little rusty!

Anywho.. I'm sure I'll get back into the groove soon..

Hmm. I don't have much else to write about right now. I'll just bore you to death. When you go so long without posting anything, it seems like nothing is important anymore...

(Especially since I feel like no one reads this anymore...:)

Holly Mae

Happy late Birthday to Holly!!

I hope you had a wonderful day!

You are one sweet, fantastic girl! :)

"The Cascades"

In February I was in the "Monster Concert," at Five Points. It's called "Monster" because they have 12 pianos on the stage, with 2 people at each piano, and everyone is playing the same duet. Mom didn't take any pictures, but she did take a video.

One of the songs we played was a rag, "The Cascades" by Scott Joplin. I'm playing the solo piece for state testing next Sunday. It's so fun!

Enjoy! :)
