Hi! Azusa!!
How have you been these day?
You must be busy. You have a lot of things to do such as cooking, studying and working.
You are still deligent and I have to example your attitude.

I'm also taking a conversaton class. After class I have more time to talk with my classmate.
This month I met new classmates with two guys. One is a high school teacher majored in computer and the other is a high school student who will graduate soon.
They are optimistic pepole to make me cheered.

Happy New Year!! Good luck for every thing!!
See you!!

Happy New year!
You must be Cynithia, right?

I'm less deligent these days and one of the reasons is my age,
though I don't wanna say that.

In the new year's holiday,
I took a long time at home and took naps a lot^-^;;

But thanks to long sleep,
I'm charged and enegetic now.

You seems to make effort to practice English.
Good luck!


I wish you& your family's happines in 2008!!
