The End of Vacation

Sorry to remind you, but yes, we go back to school tomorrow. I'm actually looking forward to seeing you all again. I know we all needed some time off, but I feel like this vacation really disrupted the session since we had just started our half together.

I've enjoyed reading about what you've been doing this past week. I've had a good week of working less than usual, seeing plays and movies with my family, and spending time with my daughter. who was home from college. In a couple of hours, I have to say "goodbye" to her since she's going back to school today. It's always hard to see her go, but I'll see her soon. I don't know how most of you stay away from your loved ones for so many months and sometimes years. You are very brave!

Hi Elaine,

I have a question to ask if you dont mind because it wont be a respond to your paragraph.My question is do you know Jesica who was in your class when we had class together?. The reason is that someone called me and she left a voice mail,however, I can't remember her. She says that she was one of your student when we had a class. She left her phone number on voice mail but it is hard to understand the number. I was wondering if Jesica rings a bell to your ear.

Yes, Baki. I remember Jessica. She was from Guatemala. She was married and had dark hair. She was a good student and volunteered a lot. I think you and she talked a lot together, but I can't remember if you were friends or enemies! She passed the placement test last summer after our class, but she took the fall semester off. I think she's now in the college taking ESL. It's interesting that she called you.

I know right. I m kind a shock, I cant remember any of my friends face except Naim and Hamid. all the other people's faces and their names like I never had a class with them. I dont know why but no matter how hard I've try, I cant remember any body in that class. I hardly remember how class look like or any one in the class excep you, naim,and hamid.DO you have any picture of that class for I can remember them even for a little bit. I think I have short term memories..No just kiddding but seriously why I can't remember any one.
