| Thank
you so very much for your classes for the past years.
You
have been an inspiration to me since my first year in
university - and can you believe it I am already graduating
this year (unless you fail me, then you will see me for
another year!). I can't believe it's already been four
years. I remember in first year, I thought our class was
so very hard. I didn't understand it at all - I didn't
know how the patterns fit into each other. Even GAHU was
the hardest thing in the world. Then in second year it
was much easier and I was so glad to go to Ghana with
you and Trish. It is one of my favourite and most memorable
experiences I had in my life. I still refer to this trip
to this very day. Thank you for sharing your music, your
wisdom, your joys with me. I hope we will still keep in
touch, keep our gahu alive, and maybe once in a while
cook together and eat some food. I will definitely miss
being in your classes (I've been going once a week for
four years for goodness' sake!), and I'll miss you especially.
Hope you too see you soon! Don't forget me! Akpe (did
I spell this right? I mean to say thank you)
With all my love,
your dear one,
Mandy
