Hi, Brett. Hi, Karen. You don't look too happy, Brett. Is anything the matter? You can tell I’m upset just by looking at me? Yeah, it's pretty obvious. You want to tell me what's bothering you? Well, it's that I'm having trouble in my economics class, and I just talked to the professor. She didn't seem too sympathetic. She didn't? What's the problem? . Well, it's that I'm on the baseball team. I know. I've seen you play. But what does that have to do with your economics class? It's the away games. That's the problem. The away games are all on the weekend, but usually when we're traveling to another school for a weekend game, we leave on Friday. The team bus usually leaves about noon on Friday. And that has something to do with your economics class? Yeah, my economics class meets on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, in the afternoon. I see. So you miss your economics class once in a while on Friday afternoons? Not just once in a while. It's been every Friday for the last four weeks. And you talked to your economics professor about this?
