Tales of the Trivial

I know the first page of Für Elise now (there are four pages). I’m getting better at playing the piano.

Hannah and I went to see Nacho Libre tonight. It was about like I expected it to be, only somewhat more boring. Probably not worth $7.50. Oh well.

I got my first real sunburn of the summer yesterday. I walked around Creve Coeur Lake from 12:00-1:00 wearing a tank top and no sunblock. Every year I forget how easily I burn until I am painfully reminded.

I’m trying to learn to play the piano. Last night I practiced on Cory’s keyboard and I can now play the first seven measures of Für Elise. Not very well, but that’s okay. If only I had a keyboard or piano of my own that I could practice on.

Since I haven’t posted anything other than quizzes lately, I think I’ll actually say something.

Let’s see, I got a new job. And a 30% raise at my old job. So now I should be making a good bit more money this summer since I will be working more hours at higher pay. Cool.

I think I found a new roommate. She’s a grad student in Michigan who has an internship in St. Louis for the summer. So she will only be here till August, so I guess I’ll have to find someone else for the next three months after that. Or I might just decide to pay the whole rent myself. I don’t know what my financial situation will be in the fall.

The power went out at work this morning and was out for about an hour, so I was tutoring by the light of a lantern. Fun.

The Dante’s Inferno Test has sent you to the First Level of Hell - Limbo!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

Go here and pick the five or six words that most describe me. Then go here and do the same.

I want a challenge. I want to do something I have never done before, something I don’t think I could possibly do. I want to feel like I’m in way over my head and I’m completely incompetent at whatever it is I’m trying to do. Of course, those would be exaggerated feelings, because I tend to do that. I don’t want something that’s actually impossible for me; that would be pointless. I just want to do something really difficult (preferably also something interesting or useful). Maybe then I won’t be so crushingly bored by life. So, what should I do? Any suggestions?
