Hello, you have a little brother...

Hello my parents don’t trust him pooring water into a tank lol.

Guess who's back from the dead?
...
Or Austria.
Came home to some sad revelations, folks. While I was away, a storm hit my town and my power was out. Thankfully, it was restored to most people in a half hour. Unfortunately, my house couldn't get power back up because of some weird problem for about a day and a half. Things kinda went south from there.
I was planning on calling my folks on a daily basis, but a deadzone took away that ability. Executive decisions were made by my family while I was away, and I am now without my tank. They thought right, too, because it was pretty much a watery grave after the incident.
On the bright side, I now have more time to practice and study (woohoo...) during this month. Or until finances are in the place that can support the tank I am gonna build.
Oh, also I lost my camera and my phone about a week ago while hiking--my camera being my phone, cause I don't trust myself with cameras.
Morbidity aside, I absolutely loved my time there! Everyone was awesome, and I even got to play one of my favorite pieces, Tchaikovsky's Souvenir de Florence (the sextet, not the quartet), Shubert's Death and the Maiden, and the Debussy Quartet. If any of you have a taste for such music, or interested at all, search these up and listen. They're all awesome... and well worth it, too!
Alrighty then, all this being said, I won't be on R2R nearly as much as before. (Good riddance, eh?) I have a lot of practicing ahead cause soon, I'll be preforming hell incarnate.
...Oh, did I say that? Sorry about that. What I meant to say was Bartok's 3rd Quartet.
Anyway, I hope to fill the void (that is my nonexistent tank) with the stories and progresses of all of yours. Cheers!
Now then, enough of my ramblings. See y'all later.

Ha ha, actually I had many great teachers and wonderful experiences - same as you and Brett I bet. Now, how do I get out of this rubber room to do a water change?

Be careful about what you wish for, you might just get it!
I had some lazy teachers and I had some demanding teachers. I preferred the lazy ones but the demanding ones, I hate to admit, helped..

Another Catholic school alum here as well, right up until the nuns told mom it was best if I didnt return for 6th grade... apparently they deemed me hopeless

I was shall we say a challenging child.

I'm good with water changes. That is the only thing I'm confident I can handle so far! Does everybody feel this dumb starting out?

Yes we all feel dumb and overwhelmed I think

 

[Dizzirn]

You should!
Forgot to show my new octospawn:

And, it's a miracle!! When I put the lighting to ~10k Kelvin, Bob came out! Now I know what he likes:

I recognize the octospawn but what is "Bob"?
