Hello, is this Professor Clark?
Yes, I am Professor Clark.
Hello, Professor, this is Kalina, and I am in your literature class on Monday mornings.
Yes, how are you doing?
I was partying hard over the weekend, fell down the stairs, and need time to recuperate.
That sounds painful. Are you going to be OK?
I sprained my wrist, but the doctor says it will be fine.
How many days will you be out of school?
The doctor said I should be good enough to return next week.
I am glad you let me know that you will be missing class. Get well!
