Mr. Lane:
Please let me apologize since I will not be in class tomorrow.I have come down with the flu. I have looked at the syllabusand realize that the Chapter 2 reading and time managementassignments are due next week. I will check with a class-mate to get the notes from tomorrow’s class. Hopefully, I will feel better next week.

Professor Titus:
Our last class was great! I finished our assigned readings and have already learned a lot about proper time management. After reviewing the syllabus,I noticed that we do not have anymore reading on this topic. Could you please suggest any other materials I can read on this topic that might be of help to me?
