Hi. I was watching a TV show from 900-945 with Akiko.
It is the only night we really watch anything together.
Please apologize to your sister for us.
Actually she came to the house a few minutes before the show.
I was almost naked as usual because warm.

Actually the problem is the family pushed to get cooler.
It will be delivered next Thursday.
Need to build a wall in the back this weekend.
It will be very warm outside and very difficult.
Going to talk with Akiko about it though.

Hi. We were planning to chat with you guys this weekend but lots of things came
up. We are getting air conditioning installed in the bedroom next Thursday. A
bit late in the season but temperatures are still close to a hundred every day.
Spending the weekend building a place for the outside condenser. Working on the
garden and other stuff. Next weekend the house will be nice and cool and easier
for us to talk with you guys. Akiko is working Monday thru Friday now. No doubt
SD is really nice now. Send email when you can.

Hi. I really wanted to send email with you last night.
I was able to take the tree out but it made me really tired.
Was working in the neighbor yard again and decided not to work after 230 pm
because really warm.
Then last night ate okonomiyaki and drank a lot of beer.
Came upstairs and was on the computer a few minutes and began sleeping.
Can be online tonight though.
Really want to see you and be close to you.

Hi. Yes I am making many new friends.
I met a girl last week who is probably around 35 years old.
She spoke English to me and we talked for a long time.
We made a plan to meet today and talked again.
Her name is Makiko but she calls herself Maki.
This girl is very nice but with a desire to learn English.
It is nice to talk but really I want to learn Japanese and do not want to speak
with her in English.
If she wants to learn English from me then she needs to join the school and pay
money.
It was the same in America.
Many Japanese friends use me to learn English but do not teach Japanese.
Now getting frustrated again because not learning Japanese.

Hi. I was really happy Maki wants to maybe get married to an American.
Kinda wondering if it is because of me.
Then going to be really happy.
Anyway I am really hoping to teach people English.
Many people want to learn but make many excuses not to join the school.
Really believe the prices are good.
Yappari maybe better to focus online business.
Then can do the business from anywhere in the world.

Hi. I wanted to send email much earlier but the last couple weeks were difficult
again. The temperatures were close to one hundred every day and humid. The room
with the computer is in the nineties every day. Really not online much now. It
should be getting cooler soon. Wanted to talk to you about the room. Was really
hoping you could rent the room with a friend. Eventually want you to stay there
for free but now money is quite a problem for me and Akiko. Pretty much used up
all the money sent from America. Now Akiko is working full time but making
almost nothing. Because I am home with Shai it is really difficult to get the
school going. Anyway think about it. Really would like to send you something for
your upcoming birthday. Wanna know if there is another address to send stuff.
Would like to chat online sometime. I love you and miss you. Send email when you
can.
Love,
Dad.

Hi. I want to wish you a Happy Rosh Hashana. Now a bit drunk as usual and really

The weather there doesn't sound too pleasant. It's cooling down a lot here. It
was in the nineties for about a week though. I've been thinking about the room
and I'd ideally like to rent out a room, but I don't really know anyone else
that's ready to rent. I'm not making much money right now because all of my
focus is in school. Why'd you major in finance? It's probably my least favorite
class right now. My IDS class is really cool because it's all statistics and my
marketing class is a lot of fun.
You can send stuff to Aileen's house.
Aileen's address is:
1105 Manzana Way
San Diego CA, 92139
Happy Rosh Hashana to you too! I hope the weather cools down so it's not too hot
over there. I love you and miss you a lot.
Love,
Valerie.

Hi. I am doing really good now. Much of the work on the house is finished. Began
working out a lot. Probably even you cannot believe the change. Akiko is working
full time at a really relaxed company. Shai is walking now and doing many
things.
Anyway about you. Since you came back to Japan you changed a lot. Your email is
becoming progressively more generic and much like the email you send to someone
when you recently met them. It used to be fun being able to talk with you about
anything and be kind of crazy. Now I can be crazy with Ikuko but it is still not
the same as you. It sucks to lose the kind of relationship which made you and me
close. You are very distant now. Maybe someday if you move back to America you
will go back to being the way you used to be. Actually I became more crazy in
some ways since being in Japan. Now making many new friends. Really nice but
Japanese people simply cannot enjoy themselves the way Americans can.
Funny you met someone like me. Was walking in the farm the last week and saw a
new girl. Then said good morning in Japanese and she replied in English. Met
again and now becoming friends already. She acts and thinks like you. Actually
she even looks like you in the face but the boobs and butt are much different.
It would be nice to chat sometime especially if you get some time off during the
week. Really want you to see the way I look now. You really cannot believe. Send
email when you can.

Really want to talk with you about the Internet.
Found a new company for online conference software.
Going to get the program tomorrow.
Any camera will work on the computer.
The system needs to be XP and better.

Hi. I am not saying no more talking. Simply you changed. Many times you were
with someone and decided not to talk with me much anymore even though you were
angry when friends would do this to you. Then we became friends again when you
split up with your BF anytime. Now you moved to Japan and you changed again. If
we were new friends then your email and your attitude now would be fine. You are
not a new friend. We went through a lot together and stayed friends for many
years. It was fun before to talk with you about anything. It seems like you want
things to be more distant now. Cannot change anyone and going to go along with
this. Simply do not expect me to change back to the way things were this time
when you decide you need someone to talk to about personal things again. Send
email when you can.

Thank you so much for the birthday greetings! I'm finally LEGALLY allowed to
drink with you now! Glad to hear the temperatures are cooler. It's been really
hot here. I think we're going to experience a heat wave for the next few days.
Right now I'm still living where I've been living and I commute to SDSU everyday
then drive to work right after. Actually, my manager has been giving me a hard
time about stuff. I was granted a day off because I was going to a concert, but
she had to be somewhere that day. She told me that I had to come in, even though
I requested the day off because I didn't need the afternoon to get ready for the
show. After I finally agreed, she apologized and said she didn't know I
requested that time off, which is total BS. I just let it go though. They then
asked if I could work tomorrow night, but I said no because I'm going to be in
LA for a concert. Really irritating, but I can't really do much about it. Other
than that, everything is going well. I love you and I miss you a lot.
Love,
Valerie.

Hi. I am send the information you requested. Please tell the students about this
and apologize for the misunderstanding.
Changing the class to the middle of the week. I though they planned to do the
weekend class for awhile then change to the middle of the week if the weekend
class was not working for them. I could not know they were talking about a class
during the week if they miss a weekend class.
These will be the rules for the class.
If anytime I am going to cancel class then there will be a make up class at a
convenient time for everyone. They are paying for four classes per month and
will receive these classes if a class is canceled.
If they miss class there will be no make up class. If many students come to the
school and many miss class during any week and all want a make up class it is
too much for me to do this. Same as college and any other adult situation it is
up to the students to make it to class. If they miss a class they will be given
the printout and any other materials from the class.
Students do not need to call if they will miss a class. They can simply not
come.
The students will pay a monthly fee to attend classes at the school. They will
receive an average of four classes per month. Some months there will be five
classes and some months there will be three classes and some months there will
be four classes. Basically they will receive forty eight classes per year. There
will be four weekends per year with no class. The days with no classes will
coincide with Japanese holidays when possible.
Class fees will paid at the beginning of the class at the beginning of each
month. If the money is paid there is no refund for the month. If the students no
longer want to attend the school then they simply would not pay anymore.
Students should bring all printouts from previous classes to each class in case
some questions come up.
Students should purchase an electronic dictionary.
Students should bring their own notebooks and paper and pen and any other study
materials to class.
There is no textbook for the lessons.
A printout will be given to each student every class and is included with the
class price.
This is pretty much everything but going to think of more. I am going to write
this information much better and then you can do a translation. Send email if
there are any questions. Thank you for doing all this now.
