A: Excuse me, Professor. I have to talk to you about why my homework didn't get done.

B: What happened that you didn't get it done?

A:I had to watch a football game instead.

B: Well, you had more than one day; couldn't you have fit it in on another day?

A: Yes, I think so.

B: Either way, I only allow one missed assignment per semester. When will you be turning the make-up in?

A:I'll make it up next week.

B:Fine, but it cannot happen again if you want an “A” in the class.

A:OK, I can do that.

B:Remember that you are in college now, not high school.
