office hours correction
hey,i forgot about an important dinner i have to attend on thursday evening. in the afternoon, i will be a reviewer for shun kanda's studio. conclusion: i will not be able to hold office hours in the afternoon or evening.
i will return to school later in the evening (after 10-11?). so, i will have office hours from 11pm to midnight on thursday.
i will also hold office hours tonight from 8-9pm. i will be in my office all evening...
sorry for any inconvenience... i tried to propose several alternatives to ask questions! hopefully, this works out?!
good luck studying and finishing up the semester!
