Happy New Year!

Hello Atsuko! Yes, that's too bad that you can't join us tomorrow.... I got the message from the secretary yesterday, so thank you for calling!
But don't worry, you can always come to class next week! So please take care and study hard (just kidding! You don't have to study hard!). I will let you know what pages and activities we do and the homework, if any.
Also, next week I'm planning a pot-luck New Years party for our class during class time. So I will give you the details about that tomorrow.
Bye for now!

Hello,Joe! How are you? I'm fine today. I'm sorry...I can't come to class tomorrow,as I called yesterday.

Hello Atsuko! Thanks for your message. Yes, the weather was terrible and I just managed to finish moving before the terrible snow on Saturday! However, I still had a lot of work to do (like moving some small things, cleaning and unpacking). I'm still not totally finished everything, but I have done a lot!!! And now I'm tired!!!
The roads are really bad, so you be careful too Atusko! Drive safely and watch out for ALL the CRAZY drivers!
By the way, I do like my new apartment very much. It's very comfortable!
Okay, see you on Thursday then! Please take care and have a good week!

I hope your new apartment is comfortable for you! Now,the roads are really dangerous...So,please take care,Joe!! See you soon!

Hello Emiko! Thanks for your sweet reply! Yes, I was very busy this past weekend. I moved to my new apartment and I'm very happy! I really like my new place! So I am a little tired, but I'm okay!
Sounds like you had a good time over the holidays even though you had to work so hard. I know that it's a lot of work for you because my mother also does that every year. Now it's your turn to take it easy Emiko! So please take care of yourself and take time to relax.
I'm almost finished the cleaning and unpacking. I will be so happy when I'm finally finished everything!
Anyway, I am also looking forward to seeing you and the other class members this Thursday! So until then, please take care and have a good week!
Bye for now!

I wish you a Happy New Year! I haven't seen you for a long time!
You seemed very tired! Your New Year from end of the year was very busy. You are exhausted by your move. How do you like your new apartment,and finished clean up your room?
You don't worry about for your late reply an Email to me. I'm sorry that I send it to you during on your winter vacation. Your reply is any time OK! I think.
By the way,My New Year was very busy too! My son went home with his girl friend during 3days from Sapporo. I spended all my time in made some dishes. A year end and a new year is very busy for a home maker. Therefore,I don't like those days. But My family had a lot of happy time!
The new semester will begin from eleventh. I'm looking forward to seeing all of class! See you soon! Please take care Joe!
