P , icuzgzy of CL anon gm! lVIonday, April I2 Heavens, what a day! As Dorothy Parker would put it, I'm just too jaded! Awakened at no later than six this morning by men drilling on the road in front of the dorm. Imagine-after a perfectly hectic week at home, and up till all hours last night writing a report. It's really loo much. fVhy can't they let the road alone? And then as though that weren't enough just as I got used to the horrible commotion and almost asleep some insane creature started treading up and down the hall. If they must walk around the loop in the morning why can't they save their stamping for the great open spaces? By then I was fully awake, or as fully as Ilve been for the last four or five years and decided on a shower but couldn't seem to regulate the heat so had a bath instead. In the midst of it that asinine lVIurray child dumped cold water all over me and simply ruined my wave. Really, I was jf! to be tied. Breakfast was actually glum what with everybody trying to make out that they had the best vacation, etc. Classes are drearier than ever. Une would believe some of these girls were no more than ten when they start tying sashes to chairs and writing notes. Tonight was at least some enlightenment. Saw The King and the Chorus Girl and Fernand Gravet is the answer to all my prayers. I shall just have to start remodeling George, I suppose. I-Ie's sort of sick of being Fred lVIaclVIurray anyway. And so to bed and itls simply pouring so the window can't be opened because I can't stand a soggy pillow. Tuesday, April 1 3 Isnlt life loo complex? Yesterday morning awake at six and couldn7t get back to sleep and this morning slept until eight and conse- quently no time for breakfast and therefore starved all morning. That not being enough, macaroni for lunch which I cannot chew so starved all afternoon. Actually had to cut last class I was so hungry. Couldn't eat out because I hadn't a cent and just don? trust charge accounts. Can't decide now whether I should speak to the girls about being quiet in the morning because of course, yesterday I did say a little something about being noisy and I couldn't .stand to be razzed. That seems to be the full aim in life of half the world too. The opera singer next door has started now so I suppose I shanlt sleep a wink all night. W7hy must she practice at such ungodly hours? Probably heard it's good for the voice. lsfil

IVednesday, April I4 .It happened! She sang every opera in her repertoire until I fin- ally just had to scream out the window at which my roommate who was actually enjoying it lit into me and eventually up came N11-S, Home and just looked at us which is really pretty gruesome. I-Iaven't spoken to Nora all day but doesn't seem to bother her much because I don't think shels speaking to me either. I-Iad a positively rank Dietetics exam today which we all forgot to study for and got raked over the coals and called children, etc. I shall surely scream the next time we're called children. Do they do that everywhere? Thursday, April I5 Decided it was about time for a letter from George and hung around the mail for hours looking for it. It finally came looking like a ray of light in a dark cloud but if you can imagine it, it contained just three words and they werenlt the three I should expect. I'm afraid he didnlt like the idea of Fernand Gravet. It's just too dreary. just as I get to know a person for about six years they go and do something like that and where am I? I suppose I shall have to spend the whole summer avoiding him and it's so difHcult when we're always in the same crowd and I'm quite sure Nora is laughing inside. That girl is a beast! Just because Felix Cwhat a namej does everything she wants. I hate him! I-Iac, to tear around with Ad, helping her buy food for the luncheon which she had left till W7ednesday afternoon and then discov- ered the stores were closed and she wears me to a frazzle rushing around so indefinitely. Finally I had to take a nap this afternoon and got a splitting headache from it and had a horrible dream about George. Felt too unbearably ill to go to the Symphony orchestra tonight and Nora accused me of developing it on purpose. Iriday, April 16 lVIrs. I-Iorne forced me in the most brusque manner to go to bed last night because I had the light on at 10:05 writing. Afraid I shall have to discontinue m diary until next summer, it takes so much time. Y . . . It's really a shame because events were just beginning to shape them- selves. An invitation to Bowdoin Commencement from Bill. just too convenient a way to show George who's ahead.
