[00:00.00]Student: Hi i'm i'm, i'm, Randy Beecham. I really need to speak with professor Clark right away. Could you get me into see her?
[00:15.97]Assistant: Well, she is conducting oral exams right now, I can't interrupt her. The exams began at 8:00 this morning and are scheduled to go on all day.
[00:24.29]Student: But I was supposed to take my oral at 9 this morning, and well I don't know what happened, my alarm clock didn't go off for some reason and I overslept.
[00:32.88]Assistant: Oh dear!
[00:33.96]Student: I know it's like, really embarrassing, when I opened my eyes and saw it was already 9:30 I just got here as fast as I could.
[00:41.65]Assistant: Well，since you didn’t show up your schedule time. The professor would probably consider it an unauthorized absence. [00:49.96]I’m afraid that it will translate into an automatic failing grade for that portion of the exam.
[00:55.40]Student: Oh no, and I was so prepared, I stayed up all night studying. Is there any way I can maybe reschedule it？
[01:02.97]Assistant: I don't know what to tell you Randy. As I said professor Clark will be examining students to four o'clock today and all day tomorrow, then it’s the weekend.
[01:15.07]Student: What about like, first thing Monday morning？
[01:17.83]Assistant: No, Monday is not possible, exam week ends tomorrow when the dean, it's the dean who sets the university’s rules on these matters, you know, not the professors. [01:28.87]The dean is very strict about granting extensions except under extraordinary circumstances.
[01:34.74]Student: Um, so, I guess the defect of alarm clock wouldn’t account as extraordinary, huh.
[01:39.44]Assistant: I'm afraid we’re talking something more on the order of illness or if you had an unavoidable conflict, like an exam in another class schedule for the same time. [01:49.47]But you know, since exam week isn't over yet, it probably would be worthwhile trying to speak with professor Clark, she might be able to find a solution.
[02:00.39]Student: You now, the oral part of the exams only an half hour long, do you think she’d be willing to stay later this afternoon or coming a little early tomorrow ?
[02:10.36]Assistant: I'm sure she'll do her best. But I can't speak for her of course.
[02:14.71]Student: But I can't just stick around all day waiting for her. Do you think she will be breaking for a lunch.
[02:21.30]Assistant: Well, I hope so for her sake, let me check her schedule again. [02:26.96]Well, she's got student’s schedules to noon, then she has one hour break before the afternoon exams schedule begins. So yes, she apparently does plan to break for lunch.
[02:40.06]Student: Noon, ha.
[02:41.38]Assistant: That's what it says.
[02:43.10]Student: Okay, why don't I come back at noon then, but if you happen to see her in the meantime, would you please say I was here and that I'm really sorry I was late for my exam.
[02:52.37]Assistant: Of course, good luck!
