Philosophies of Education - Monday, January 20, 1964

We had an SNEA meeting in the faculty lounge tonight. Dr. Pai led a discussion on personal philosophies of education. He started on his own accord so I didn't have to introduce him. We had a fairly good turnout. Mom sent me an extra letter asking more about the cat that scratched me. I, too, hope it didn't have rabies. I see I'm starting to get behind with school work. When people begin to ask me how I manage to do everything, then I realize I must be doing a lot. But I just take one thing at a time. I'm really living in college - in a way I deprived myself of in high school. Fred is such a tease - the girls up here think a lot of him; he's so much fun.

Lucerne Rose Tea Was a Success - Sunday, January 19, 1964

Fred and I were sitting in the lounge tonight when Vivien stopped by with a copy of the wedding write-up and the white gloves I left in Oklahoma and to let me see the pictures. I think Fred enjoyed looking at them - my expressions were kind of funny, but no worse than some of the others! Fred and I studied at the library for a while tonight. The Lucerne Rose Tea was a real success - even if we had forgotten all about tea cups until 1:30! Luckily there was a quick source - Commons. I can't keep up with everything - time goes so fast. Sometimes I can't even believe I'm me. Life is wonderful. I must write to Phyllis.

Saw "Days of Wine and Roses" - Saturday, January 18, 1964

I'm going to bed early to try to get over my cold. Fred's doing the same. We both were sniffing and blowing our noses after the movie. It was "Days of Wine and Roses." I didn't care for it a whole lot. Fred thought it was depressing. I bought Gilbran's "Spirits Rebellious" and "The Voice of the Master" in paperback before anyone else got them so I'll have them to give to Fred for his birthday February 1. I went down to Parkville this morning and mailed Ann a Park College nightshirt for her birthday. I took out a card at the Platte County Library and got some books for children's lit. I did a little coordinating for the Rose Tea this afternoon, lining up spoons, etc.

Medicine For Two Colds - Friday, January 17, 1964

I worked until almost 10:00 tonight - they were pretty busy at the health center. It's going to feel good to get to bed at 10:30. I got some pills for my cold. Fred went down to Parkville this afternoon and got some Contac and gave me one after geography class. I still sat through children's lit with a drippy nose. I forgot that we were supposed to have some algebra problems ready to do orally in class - ugh! I did some telephoning for SNEA this afternoon. I confirmed one speaker but wasn't able to find out all I needed to about possible field trips. Mrs. Dorsey told Barb Page that the LLCs were by far the best club!?!

Looking For a Book by Kahlil Gilbran - Thursday, January 16, 1964

Here I am playing around with algebra just like I used  to do in high school. It sure brings back memories. I went into Kansas City this afternoon. I stopped in at a new vision center and had my glasses adjusted. I looked everywhere for a book by Kahlil Gilbran for Fred for his birthday, but they were always out of stock or had only The Prophet which he has already. I hope I can have the bookstore order one by February 1. Fred and I both have colds again!! I got 20 out of 25 on the algebra quiz. I lost three points due to sheer carelessness. We had an LLC meeting tonight.

Waiting For the Day - Wednesday, January 15, 1964

I just got back from a two hour meeting in which the judicial councils, deans and Mr. Campanella discussed judiciary problems. I had an ICC meeting tonight, too. The SNEA program committee met with Mr. Carey this afternoon to plan our meetings and speakers for the term. I got three letters of transfer to the LLCs today - two OACs and one ACC. I've been waiting for the day when the LLCs would get transfers from what were then the clubs! I guess this is it. I didn't get to see Fred at 9:30 since our meeting lasted so long.

Attacked By a Cat - Tuesday, January 14, 1964

Time is getting away from me. I think I let Fred in on one of my weaknesses tonight - my inability to make up my mind over something trivial - like whether or not to go to breakfast in the morning (we're going). I was just about to the health center this afternoon when a yellow cat I stopped to pat attacked the back of my left leg and scratched it. Mrs. Flaherty thought it was bad enough to give me a tetanus shot. I hope the insurance forms she filled out cover the $3.00 first aid and $1.00 for the tetanus. That's an expensive cat scratch!
