T1 B20: New teacher

This morning, I woke up super early for skating lessons, I was so excited all over again. I changed into my lovely skating outfit, and then arrived right on time for my lesson. Turns out that Lianna (my coach)'s brother Alvis's student changed her lesson time, so he has no one to teach that morning. So instead of Lianna teaching a semi-private lesson (me and my cousin) she decided to let Alvis teach me, and she'll keep teaching my cousin. At least that's what I think it was. Either that, or it was only for today. Anyways, I was a little nervous, since I've never met her brother before, or seen his teaching style, I've only seen him around during Lianna's lessons. Turns out that he's a bit shy, but really nice. His teaching style is really different than Lianna, he takes things slowly, and just wants you to practice it, while Lianna just forces it on you, and make you do it until you get it right. That sounds different than what I mean, it's hard to explain it. He really does look like Lianna, the first time we saw them, my cousin and I just knew that they were siblings. Anyways, I worked on my saloms again, since they were horrible, and then practiced my edges. After our lesson, my cousin and I got half an hour to practice it on our own, and I'm just really satisfied with our lesson, it was awesome!
At home I did homework, had a big lunch, then went for piano lessons. When my siblings and I came back, we had an awesome yummy dinner, and then I had to have a chinese lesson with my cousin. We have a Chinese tutor come to our house to teach us, and she's really cool. Her lessons are pretty awesome and there are so many times when we just laugh, she actually makes me feel like Chinese isn't as boring. I'm glad that we found this Chinese tutor, because since I started learning with her, Chinese has actually been a lot better and more interesting than before. I love it when she tells us stories about a poet, or an author about things that we learn. If only everyday could be awesome days...
