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 .
