That crazy roommate of mine gets up at four-thirty, I know, and insists on turning on the light. I don't know WHY they made roommates anyway. They're all the time wearing your clothes and making you miserable. I'd whole lot rather have an alarm clock that shrieks forth at most any unearthly hour. I ate chocolates for breakfast, and I surely am glad Pat didn't forget to send the regular box. I I :l5: All my classes are over! Thank Goodness! I was as blank as a button in all of them. I know that Miss lVIcLean thinks I haven't an atom of bright flVly roommate said I didn't, but I want her to 'tend to her own affairsl. But I hate to study. I have had two call downs already. But I didn't do a single thing! Something always happens when you are trying to be good. The only thing I did was to crawl out on the fire escape, and try to climb up on top of the dump! I only wanted to see a bird's nest, and I wasn't trying to slay a gnat, or wave at roughnecks either. The other thing I did was even less than the first. I gave my room its semi-annual cleaning, and naturally I had trash to burn: so I wanted to be very sanitary, and I took it out in the' hall and set it afire. If the old boards had been any account they wouldn't have caught on fire anyway. Now would they? I ax you man to man if that was anything to get called down for? I ax you that! I don't see why I get picked on. I am always as good as I know how to be. 4100: I tried to make out like I went to sleep, and slept all through the gym period, but of course my roommate said I was upstairs. Then I had to go down-stairs, and go throuigih with all those movements recommended for contortionists, and get two de- merits besides. Oh, I tell you I'm against all brands of roommates, from 'way back yonder. Tonight after dinner we had an auction sale. All of us came in my room, and we traded off every piece of clothes we ever owned. I traded my suit for four different things, my sweater for another one just like it only different, my new black skirt for a black taffeta dress, and my red skirt for a whole gob of truck. I surely did beat those kids! I'll admit I'm good! All that stuff I traded wasn't half as p-retty as I said. My name ought to have been Rosie Levinsky. But those kids will never know how badly they are beaten unless I tell them. and, can I keep mum? Well, you tell 'm, sign, I don't know the price. And anyway, what they don't know is not going to hurt 'em any. I have just finished a fight with my roommate-I'll have you to know, she had the audicity to say one of those little pink house shoes were hers. just like I wasn't raised up with those shoes! Oh, I wish all roommates had died when they were small children. Well, I called her 'Y' 55 'F her names, and others-so I guess I won't say my prayers to- night, 'cause if I do, I'll have to take back all I said to her, and the Lord knows she's what I called her, too. Besides, I couldn't remember what all I said to her now. So I guess I'll wait 'til tomorrow night before I say 'em again, so she can be all I called her for at least a whole day. '. a':,,f.j H.
