King of the castle!

I finally found a job. Annie hooked me up with Hy-Vee, where I will begin on monday. Not working has been nice so far, but money will probably compensate for the lessening of my free time. To celebrate, I asked Annie to teach me how to cook enchilada casserole. The first ever real meal that I cooked outside of a campfire.
My piano pieces are giving me some trouble. The moonlight sonata third movement is hard, and continues to give me trouble. I have learned 6 pages of it, all of which needs a large amount of polishing. The last four pages will be harder still. Chopin's nocturne in c minor is also turning out to be quite difficult. I am almost through three of six pages, but it only gets harder. Perhaps Dr. McKamie misjudged just how much I could accomplish during the summer. One more month to get it down.

I am taking a break from packing to initialize Blog Real Blog. In a few hours I shall move into an apartment, after which I shall continue job hunting. Until then I have a fair number of items yet to prepare. But I couldn't help but take an extra minute to do this. Actually, I really just wanted to listen to Beethoven's piano sonata No 2 in A. The rondo portion is too good.
