So, the new semester means new teachers, even if it's for the same class.

First period, my new teacher is an old guy, kinda cranky-looking. Turns out he's super cool, and a total weirdo in the best way. At the end of the period yesterday, he asked a girl to go grab a bag sitting in the corner. It was one of those cloth Walmart ones that never contain anything fun.

THERE WAS A TURTLE IN THE BAG! A FREAKIN' LIVE TURTLE WAS JUST CHILLING IN THAT BAG ALL MORNING. AND WE'RE ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH THE TURTLE WHENEVER WE WANT!!

Turtles make everything better.

but she did know i wanted to kiss her, i had asked her earlier that night and she said "later" so you know, that made my day.

again: we're sitting in the chairs, side by side, holding hands, being chill and in love :]

That is so cool!! I wish I was that good at music Maybe I should practice more

[Szeth's Facepalm]

*posts here twice in a row about the same thing*

My teacher said i was really good at composing and that i really have an ear for it which like omg yesssss. Especially because with cello i am great at the theory and pretty good at the rhythms, and i can take in and understand info well, it's just that i struggle with putting it into play when i'm actually playing. but apparently i have no such problems with composing!! I'm finishing up the harmony of my duet and i'm working on a piano/cello piece and it feels so cool!!!!

so in india in some famiies (like mine) we have a tradition that when a girl comes of age (think 17, 18) her parents gift her something like a real gold necklace or other gold jewelery that could become a family heiroleem (j have no idea how to spell that) for fututre generations 

thankfully, my mom knows i do not really care for those things 

so, instead she told me, that 

I CAN GET A LEATHERBOUND EVERY MONTH TILL I HAVE COLLECTED THEM ALL!!!!!! 

since ill keep my books forever, and this would make me much happier, this is her gift to me

That's insane!!! That is an amazing gift!!! 

My own good news: My parents decided that me and my siblings needed a present for Valentine's Day weird but I'm not complaining so I got a $20 Barnes and Noble gift card which I used to buy a few things, including a special barnes and noble edition of The Raven King which includes the short story Opal in the back!! I'm very happy
