~ About: A 1961-65 Park College Diary ~ As a high school girl and then a college coed in the first half of the 1960s, I wrote nightly entries on the pages of one-year diaries. In January 2010 I began transcribing the entries into a blog and gave each one a title. I grew up on three farms within 30 miles of Iowa City and the University of Iowa with its Iowa Writers' Workshop. As the oldest of four daughters, in my diaries I sometimes referred to my sisters as "the kids" or "the girls." We helped our parents, but we also had good, wholesome fun - a characteristic I took with me to Park. Park is 300 miles southwest of West Chester, Iowa, in Parkville, Missouri, on the Missouri River 10 miles northwest of Kansas City, Missouri, and across the river from Kansas City, Kansas. In 2000 Park College became Park University. Today Park's flagship campus is in Parkville and there are an additional 41 campus centers across the nation. Park was one of the first educational institutions in the United States to offer online learning. My last post was on May 22, 2018. I may be followed on Twitter @BarbaraMcDWhitt.

An A on Psych Paper - Friday, November 9, 1962

Tonight I went to the 6:30 show with Bev. It was "The Light in the Piazza." Now I'm ready to study French since we have to go to class tomorrow rather than today. I got an A on my psych paper. I'm so glad. I really have a cold hearted roommate. Mom said last summer not to let her bother me. I don't but I think I could live with anything after this child! I'm awful saying this. It makes me look weak for having decided to live with her. Dr. Patton says to learn how to get the most out of what you have. He says some humor is important - that reminds me - Becky once shut a chicken in the door of the coop by its neck!
