Hello, Andrew
Congratulations!
This new place looks much better than previous site.
I’ d like to visit here very often.
Time really flies. This term already came to the end. Whenever every term is over I feel that.
In this term I was really happy to meet you, Andrew. I think I could meet you again unless I stop studying English in SDA, here.
It starts rainy season. I hope you be always healthy and in good condition. See you.

And…….Andrew
I don’t know your email address.
So I leave a message here.
Dear Ikeda,
I’m Joy , your student of your morning class level 4 at 7am though I was only present at the class only one day this week.
Sorry, I couldn’t catch the class again.
I don’t know why , but I gets up late even though I have more than 5 Morning Calls and Alarm system with my mobile.
Every day I get up around 5:30 am , then it means I can’t arrive before the class is over.
I’m a little bit depressed, but I will not let these difficulties depress me long, and I will try again to get up early (around 4:30 am again) from next Monday.
Even though I attended your class only one day, I felt I would like your teaching method, and your teaching will surely help me with my English.
I will do my best.
Thanks.
P.S. Tonight there is Vasper ?
I’d like to make up for my absencies by attending the Vasper tonight. If you give me a reply to my e-mail (unijoy77@hanmail.net) , it would be great.
Have a nice day !
I’m very happy to be able to leave my apology for not attending classes (totally against my will) here.
I will often drop by.
See ya,
Bye.
Joy
Hi Joy,
Thanks for the post here. If you want, I can delete it.
Getting up early is a challenge for many people. My suggestion is to really think about why you are learning English. If you are motivated enough, you will get up early. Perhaps English is not that important to you which is why you cannot make it to class? I don’t know for sure. Maybe you could transfer to a later class.
Let me know how I can help. Also Vespers starts at 6:30 pm and not 7:30. As I mentioned in class, please do not be more than 10 minutes late (6:40 and 7:40pm) to get signatures and credit for make up absences.
Thank you and have a great weekend.
Andrew
Hi, Ikeda,
I wrote a reply, but it disappeared all of a sudden when I clicking the “submit comments” ’cause I didn’t put in my e-mail address. What a shame !
To write here again,
I highly appreciated your reply.
And I am the person you ran into on the aisle last night and who was looking for the Vaspers classroom.
I was quite pleased to convey my apology for the absences to you in person.
Right !
I also don’t know how I could miss the classes so often and get up late even though I think and I keep saying I’m dying to improve my English and study hard.
I think there must be some problem with me I should think over and solve first.
Last night, the Vaspers class was great.
And you will be sure to see me in classes all next week.
I will make it.
See ya,
Your student, Joy..
P.S. It would be kind of you to delete my comments of yesterday and today. Have a great weekend !
Hi Joy,
You’re welcome.
Also, please call me Andrew. Ikeda is my family name.
See you soon.
Andrew

Hello, Andrew.
I’m Jordan who was your student in level 5 class last November and December.
I’m not know whether you remember me or not.
However, thank you for your teaching and your passions for teaching, especially on ‘th’ pronunciation.
It was really helpful for me.
Anyway, as I said when we last met, I will send you an email if I graduate from SDA.
Your email address is andikeda@netscape.net, right?
I hope we meet again.
Take care of yourself.
Regards.
Hi Jordan,
Thanks.
Ok then, be sure to let me know when you graduate. Good luck and take care.
All the best!
