Original

After one or two years, I can’t book his class. Maybe he has a lot of students, so maybe I choose you’re class but now you’re busy too. So I think if I’m the first the VIP but I feel i’m not important cuz I think Judy don’t think about me. I think a lot of students have a fixed time, today I asked Judy but I feel a little bit angry. I booked the class but I have to change sometimes, she ask me if i can change the time or go earlier, sometimes i ask her for book my next, one week I can just book one class, after several days all the class are booked.
