Dear [이름],
Greetings! ^.^
Happy Thursday! ^^
I think I already told you before that I don\'t really plan for the weekends.
It is better for me to follow others plan.
It is because, when no one will ask me to go out, I will just stay home and rest.
I really think my body needs rest.
Nowadays, I work from 10 am to 11 pm.
I think I am somehow torturing myself from working too much.
So, I really think that I don\'t need to plan for anything for now.
By the way, I know very well that you will enjoy a fantastic time with your friend.
That\'s all for now! ^^
See you tomorrow! ^^,
... Teacher Paula ... ^.~
