The Librarian & His Dog

That’s good. Was it nice for any reason in particular?

Not particularly.  

Thank you, me too. I hope your week was better than mine?

Yes, I had a very nice week!

Um…no. I’m good. Thanks, though.

Of course.  I hope next week goes smoother for you.

Yeah…it’s just been a weird week.

Would you like to talk about it?

Um, yeah, I suppose.

Is everything alright?

Hello everyone!

Thanks! Good luck with Winston, Buddy!

Thank you, Isaac!

That’s good, I bet he’s a big help.

He definitely is!  

Hello everyone!

That sounds like fun! Uh, it’s the one we’re not supposed to talk about! Just know, it was an awesome day! 

It's been an interesting morning.  I won't ask, then, but I'm glad that it was an awesome day!

It probably can get pretty hectic sometimes then.

Yep!  But now I have Isaac to help take care of some of the students, which will come in handy, especially around midterms and finals.

Hello everyone!

Hey, Mr. Ellis! How are you? Are you doing good? Something happened! Something great!

I'm actually mud covered and trying to prepare myself to give Winston a bath, but I'm still good.  That's excellent!  What happened?  Or is this what I'm not supposed to ask about?

Hello, Isaac!  Glad you're having a good weekend.  Are you just having one of those days where you wake up feeling good, or did something happen?

So tired.

Yeah, it’s tough but I think I’m getting it.  How have you been?

Good!  Now that things are picking up, the library is getting more active, which is nice.

So tired.

It is.  It’s just hard now with classes, rehearsals, boyfriend time, and personal time, plus sleep and studying.

Yes, I remember.  I definitely don't miss that part of college.

So tired.

It must have, but that’s why I was surprised because I hadn’t expected it to.  It’s going very well!  Not hard at all aside from time management.

Time management seems to be a pretty common issue; I was talking to another student about it earlier.

So tired.

Thanks!  I just wasn’t sure how well my audition went at all.  I’ve never actually actively auditioned for a musical before, so it was really nerve wracking.

It must have gone well indeed.  How has the rest of your term been?
