[originaltext]M:Cindy! Have you heard the news? W:No, Steve. What do you mean?

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 pane 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!
