M: Cindy! Have you heard the news?
W: No, Steve. What do you mean?
M: You know all the classes we''ve missed because of the snow?
W: Uh oh...
M: Yup—we''re going to have to make them up and the dean says it will have to be during spring break.
W: Steve! We have our vacation all set! What are we going to do? Do the others know?
M: I don''t know but I certainly can''t afford to miss five days of classes this semester, with that week I was sick... W: But I really don''t want to cancel our trip. All of us have already made our plane reservations!
M: I can try to call the travel agency; maybe they can refund our money. But before we do anything we need to speak with our professors.
W: You think they''ll excuse us from class?
M: Probably not. But I was talking to Kevin this morning and he said that one of his professors told him that they could make up the class at a different time.
W: Wow—that''s great! Which professor was it?
M: I don''t know. But we''re going to have to speak to all of them anyway.
W: Why didn''t they add extra days at the end of the semester before summer classes?
M: Because of the graduation date, which can''t be changed.
W: Are other colleges around here doing the same thing?
M: I would imagine so—it''s been such a bad winter and we''ve missed too many classes. We do really need to make them up.
W: I know, I know. I was just really looking forward to this vacation. The idea of the sun and the beach!
M: Oh look, there''s Professor Hampton right now!
W: Come on, let''s go talk to her!
