A: I can't believe you talk me into auditioning for the school musical. When I get this nervous, I can't carry a tune. Look at me, I am getting cold feet.
B: Try to get a hold of yourself.
A: You got the point. It's just that every time I audition for anything, I feel totally exhausted when it's all over. I just want them to give me a fair shake. That's all I ask.
B: Hey, there's Nancy. She's the best singer in the entire school. I didn't know she was going to audition for the same part as you.
A: That's all I can tolerate! I'm leaving. I don't have any chance of succeeding.
A: I've got a big problem with the poetry course that's required for my major.
B: Is that all filled up?
A: No, there's plenty of room, but there is a prerequisite. I've got to take an introduction to poetry before I can take the special course in poets of the 1960's and the introductory course is only offered in the evenings.
B: You don't like evening classes?
A: No, that's not the point. I work in the cafeteria every evening. I need the money to pay my tuition.
B: Why don't ask your boss to change your shift?
A: I wish I could. My boss just did me a favor by putting me on evenings. And He'll hit the ceiling if I ask to change again.
B: Wait a minute. I got an idea. Did you check the courses over at the community college?
