Getting More Snow and Eating OAC Pancakes - Sunday, January 14, 1962

It is snowing again - someone said we're supposed to get nine more inches. I spent all afternoon doing French and I'm still not done. I should have started about Thursday. I had a headache for a little while tonight. Sharon Fritts and I went over to the J. R. about 9:00 to eat OAC pancakes. Sue Brainard is here studying languages with Vivien. They both take both French and Spanish.

Seeing Roundworms and Reading The Aeneid - Saturday, January 13, 1962

Another college Saturday is gone. I finally got a few more things in my culture - roundworms and a few other new ones. I started The Aeneid of Virgil for world lit. I wrote a letter to Ruth and Bob thanking them for the cream sachet they gave me for Christmas. My "hatch-a-cactus" is growing. This has been a typical Saturday with not a lot going on so I guess I'll call it quits and go toward bed.

We Rearrange Our Room For More Space - Friday, January 12, 1962

Marge and I went to the show Fanny tonight. It was a good show. I'm hungry and I've been doing a lot more snacking the last few days than I used to, too. I got another letter from Mrs. Cowan. I guess she's feeling better after her inflammation of her kidneys. This afternoon I made a trip to Parkville to get my pictures (they're pretty good) and some supplies. We changed our room around so that now Vivien's bed is under the shelves and our desks are together. It gives us lots more space.

Hoping for a C in Art - Thursday, January 11, 1962

Patti Dewing is here to study world lit. I wasn't going to sweat this test - I don't know what will have come of this notion by tomorrow morning at 11:00. I didn't do as well on this art test as the last, but I hope I can get a C for the course. I got a B on my speech test. I never speak as well as I'd like to. Still didn't have a big variety of culture organisms. Boy, I'll be glad when a few tests are over - I need a breather.

Studying for Another Test in Art - Wednesday, January 10, 1962

I got a letter from home and started writing one tonight. Maybe we'll be on a better letter writing schedule now than when I'd write, get a letter in the same mail, and then wait a week to answer it. I now have to finish studying for the art test (I spent the afternoon in the library reading the book again.) I guess Dr. Hampl is still real sick - I wish we could have had the French test Tuesday - at least this way I'm not bothered with assignments but I'd like to know when we'll have the test.

A Beautiful Movie With a Greek Score and Dialogue - Tuesday, January 9, 1962

We had a beautiful world lit movie tonight on the development of Greece with the musical score and dialogue by ancient Greek musicians and authors. The scenery was fabulous. It was very cold today - zero or below this morning. Dr. Hampl wasn't there this morning and won't be tomorrow so I can sleep an hour later. If we have our test Thursday that will mean three tests right in a row. I haven't had much luck yet with my White Aloe Creek specimen in biology - my culture just doesn't have many interesting organisms yet.

Lounge Conduct Problems Don't Apply to Us - Monday, January 8, 1962

There's word about a house meeting shortly. This afternoon I made a trip to Parkville and then went to the library. I went back with Marge tonight to study French and art. I have tests this week in those two, world lit, and have to give my speech final. I also heard a rumor about no French test tomorrow. We just can't have that one Thursday! The house meeting was about lounge conduct - we're a good bunch here on second - none of this applies to us - and most of Hawley's problems never do.
