I have to leave class early tomorrow. I don't like that. Just don't come to class. Don't be like that, Professor! I have to attend my mom's funeral. I'm sorry for your loss. It's okay. I'm going to miss her. I lost my mom when I was in college, too. Saddest thing ever, right? Yes. You know what? Take a week off school. I can't do that. I have too many responsibilities. Take my advice. I'll think about it. If you ever need to talk, my door is open.
