Akemi,
I’m really sorry no one picked you up for the class party Friday night. Mindy told
me last week she was going to pick you up, but I bet she forgot since she had two
exams on Friday afternoon.
When I saw Mindy at the party, I figured you had another ride or weren’t coming. I
must have forgotten to turn my cell phone on, because I didn’t see that you had
called until I got home. Mario told me today that you called him last night, too, but
he couldn’t hear you, and then I guess his battery died.
Anyway, I should have called you to make sure you had a ride. Instead, I just
assumed that someone else was dealing with the problem. I hope you’re not too
upset. Maybe we can all go out for coffee tomorrow after class. Let me know, OK?
Lauren
