Dear students,
We're getting toward the end of the year, and I wanted to let you know that my schedule will be irregular Dec 10-Jan 7 (Pacific Time). During that time, the schedule will be approximately 1am-12pm Pacific Time (6pm-5am Japan time), with some days off. There will be no lessons between Jan 1-7 (Jan 2-8 Japan time). The schedule is subject to change. Look forward to seeing you when I return, if not during the irregular schedule. I am delighted and grateful to have been your teacher and conversation partner this year. 
Thank you and Happy New Year!
Cecily
