So I went to lessons and my teacher was very proud of me, said I improved greatly. 3 weeks from now will be me and my teachers anniversary. I was looking through my Notepad where my teacher writes all my assignments and found our first lesson which was Nov. 27, 2002. So this will be our year anniversary I was going to bring her a cake saying happy anniversary on it. She'll probably look at me weird, but hey, I can't help it I like and want to get close to my teachers especially one as nice as her. I don't think that its not that she doesn't want to get close to me I think she's just not use to a enthusiastic student showing interest in what their learning and appreciating their teacher, so i think I kind of surprise her alot. I've seen her teach other students and they seem so sad and bored like their dying to go home so I can understand why she might be a little surprised at my enthusiasm. But whether she likes it or not we're going to become the bestest of friends. Teacher student friendships are the best and I have improved greatly since having a friendly teacher such as mine. I don't believe in mean strict teachers, stern and authoritative, but not mean. Mean and strict are only going to decline my ability and make me hate the violin. When i go to lessons I want smiles, not frowns. When I go to lessons I want concern not growls.
