    I would like the DVD for this weekend and will pick it up on Friday. However, we do not have school on Monday, does it still need to be returned?

    Dr. Platt,

    I'm going to be sharing the DVD with Amelia this weekend and I will be returning it on Monday. Will your office still be open on Monday or should I bring it back to you right away on Tuesday?

    Thanks!
    Jessica FitzSimmons

    @Jessica (and @Amelia):

    I will be in the office on February 16 (President's Day), so I can facilitate a DVD drop-off and pick-up that day. If you won't be anywhere near campus, let me know so we can make other arrangements.

    I was wondering if I could get the DVD on Monday, February 23. I doesn't appear anyone has spoken for it that day.

    Thanks,

    Lana
