An email I just received from the 3rd-year Japanese class-liason, who's meeting with students for 30-min sessions outside of class just to get accustomed to conversations and the like:

はじめまして Courtney,

Thank you for your email.
I am glad to hear that you would love to participate in the conversation
practice.

I am able to meet you from 11AM to 12PM on Sep. 21, which is the earliest
time available.
How about 11AM in front of the ticket booth at Rudder Tower on Sep. 21?

Please let me know whether or not it is fine with you.

I look forward to seeing you soon.
こちらこそよろしくお願いします。

Takashi

OMG I'M GONNA TALK TO A REAL JAPANESE-LIKE PERSON. COLOR ME NERVOUS AS HELL. Dude, seriously, I've never spoken to another person. I talked to the 2nd-year liason, Masanori-san, today, and I was totally off my game, but I managed. It comes from never attending a class, I suppose. FEH.

Plus his name is Takashi. WHAT THE HELL. I WILL not ask him if he's dating a 'Tuti,' I WILL not ask him he's dating a 'Tuti,' I WILL not ask him if he's dating a 'Tuti'...
