A: Oh, Janna, you're early! I'm happy you're here early today
because I'd like to discuss your attendance for a moment.
B: Gee, Dr. Livingston, I'm really sorry about missing yesterday.
A: Actually, it's been several days. Counting today, we've only
had 6 classes, yet you've already missed 4. You won't be able
to pass if you're constantly absent.
B: Sorry, I've been extremely busy.
A: Well, I hope you're ready for today's exam.
B: Today? I thought it was Monday!
A: Read the syllabus, Janna; this is precisely what I'm talking
about. You should either make an effort to attend, or you should
consider withdrawing while it's still possible.
B: What do you mean?
A: Today's the final day you can withdraw and get a full refund.
B: Maybe I really should; what do you suggest?
A: I wish you could attend classes regularly; however, if you
don't believe you're capable of this, then don't waste your money.
B: Thanks, Dr. Livingston; I really appreciate your advice. If
it's okay, I suppose I'll go ahead and drop the class.
A: It's entirely up to you, but that might be best if you don't
think things are going to change. Excuse me, the students are
coming, and I've got to get ready for class. I wish you the very
best of luck, Janna.
B: Thank you, Dr. Livingston. Good bye.
