So, I just got my license in June, have a stick-shift car, and needed to get to work every day. There’s no better way to learn stick-shift, than to HAVE to drive stick shift. I now feel pretty comfortable in it. Now, I don’t feel totally comfortable driving in general (e.g. I haven’t driven on any major highways yet) but I don’t think that I would be any more comfortable in an automatic. That part will just take time being on the road. YAY :)

I have been away from the piano for many years, but recently my roommate got a keyboard and I have been playing almost every day. I’m thinking of stopping by the local college and practicing in their music rooms too.

Well it’s not a huge step up, but I got a job as an account rep at a long term care pharmacy. I fill all the prescriptions for the ARC of Monroe County. Been there 3 months, it’s pretty great so far!!
