<pud> Hello

<pud> I am talking to Hilda by Icq.

<Vance> Hi, now I'll try to drag Hilda's icon in here ...

<Vance> Great, now you're both there.

<Hilda> hello! Vance and pud

<pud> Hello Hida

<pud>

<pud> what are you doing Hilda?

<Hilda> both of u r busy?

<Vance> I'm trying to fill out a form to register for Global Learning Day 2

<Vance> Do you know about it?

<pud> Vance I am so sorry that I couldn't came to study in your class.

<Hilda>

<pud> I am working .

<Hilda> pud, i am a student (a medical student)

<Vance> Don't worry about the class. You can see what happened on the webheads page

<pud>

<Vance> Did you two meet at the Palace the other day? You were both there weren't you?

<Hilda> i am also working as an intern at the hospital

<Vance> Last week ...

<Vance> Pud is Saangthip from Thailand

<Hilda> vance, i never met pud in the palace

<pud> I am sorry now I want go to home because My mather come here.

<Vance>

<pud> See you tomorrow

<pud> I am sorry.

<Vance> OK, by pud ... No problem. Later ...

<Vance> class on Sunday (sundays and tuesdays)

<pud> bye Hilda Vance

<Vance> I'll send email.

<Vance> bye

<pud> ok

<pud> bye bye

<Vance> Neat, finding two students online ...

<Hilda> bye for now, pud^_^

<Vance> I agreed to Sundays so those who worked could come too

<Vance> You don't have to come both days if you can't make it

<Vance> You just come if you want to

<Hilda> what's the plan of the class? Sundays and tuesdays??

<Hilda> i see, that means u got to teach on Sundays^^

<Vance> But I work on Sundays, just like Tuesdays. My weekend is Thu/ Fri

<Vance> I work in a muslim country, so we use their weekend

<Vance> So it's convenient for me. We work sat thru wed

<Vance> Yeah, we have the same days, just that Friday is the prayer day

<Hilda> how come? did they have sundays, mondays,,..and etc like the CHrist country?

<Vance> Yes. So I never teach those days. Too busy having fun.

<Vance> The plan for the class will be to (1) meet and (2) to develop the web pages

<Hilda> so they got their rest on Friday, not on Sundays

<Hilda> have u gotten any response yet?about the webpage things?

<Vance> Well, some students have written nice introductions. One sent a picture (I think it was Ying-Lan - you can see it on the web page)

<Vance> I think it will catch on. You can be creative with your web page.

<Hilda> great! ha, i think lacking of creativity is my problem

<Vance> Well, you can write about straightforward things, about yourself, about nature, about things you like to write about.

<Vance> You could even write fiction for your web page. You might get ideas as others write theirs, or maybe you could teach us something with your web page ... any ideas?

<Hilda> thank u for ur advice.

<Vance> That's a good idea. You could describe what you do. you could link to hospital or medical sites on the internet

<Vance> At the Palace, we can read each other's pages and talk about them ...

<Hilda> ah,, first of all, i 'd like to teach ppl what an intern is.^^

<Vance> Yeah, there is some confusion.

<Vance> So why don't you write a description and I'll put it on your page. I'll correct your language of course, and you can compare what you wrote with what you see on the page.

<Vance> Still there?

<Vance> (I'm working on something else too, in fact, have to go in a moment)

<Hilda> it would be easier to get ppl know what i am.

<Hilda> i am back. my dinner is home, i will go offline to have my dinner soon

<Vance> OK. I've got to go run. I'm at work now but about to leave.

<Hilda>

<Vance> All the best, enjoy dinner, bye
