I was asked yesterday by a very cute old man in a perfect old-man hat who was walking his tiny, rat-like dog, if I was in high school.
The dog, on a side note, peed on the grass by tucking his tiny butt underneath himself, and pulling his lower legs off the ground - it was an Olympic gymnastics move - truly astounding.
When I said to the gentleman, "No, actually I'm in graduate school," he paused and asked what I was going to be.
"A Librarian," I said, smiling.
He nodded his head pronouncedly saying, "There's nothing wrong with that." And after a moment of silence added, "It'll make you smart."
There you have it. That's why I'm in library school - because it'll make me smart.
