Hi.
My friend Carol and I meet once a week; she's going back to the US soon. But this week I can't make it; I have so many things to do. I need to teach from Thursday night to Sunday evening. And I have some other things to do, so I can't make it. I texted Carol telling her that I can't make it this week, I started like "This week might be a bit tight for me" (So I can't make it for our once-a-week gathering)
I wonder if the bold is natural.
