I ran my car into a tree yesterday and need to miss a few days of school .   Oh , my God ! I hope you are all right .   I have a concussion , but I will be OK .   How much school will you miss ?   I only need to take this week off .   I appreciate you calling and telling me that you won ’ t be in class . See you next week !
