Excuse me, Professor. Do you have a minute?
Oh, Jenny. Sure. Come on in.- Have a seat.
- What can I do for you?
- Um. About the test on Friday…
- Yes?
- Well, I'm going back to New York this weekend to attend my brother's wedding.
- I'm planning to leave early on Friday, but our class meets late in the afternoon.
- Oh…
- Anyway, I'd like to miss class on Friday, and I was wondering if it would be possible for me to take the test on the following Tuesday.
- Hmm. I'd prefer you take it on Friday.
- Could you come in early Friday morning to take the test?
- Yeah. That'll be fine.
- How early is too early?
- I'll be here at 8:00 if you want to take the test then.
- Absolutely. Thanks so much.
- Okay. See you next Friday at 8:00.
- Okay. Thanks.
- Bye.
- Bye.
