MAY 28

1939 Sunday Read Shakespeare all day. Wilmer + Olga had us over for dinner - Ray didn't even call me...

1940 Tues 1:30 worked this evening on a paper for Mlle. Contest that was due today... It's stupid but I think I'll finish it anyway. Fooled all day... No T. paper

1941 Well, Tom caught up with me... It was ok. I'm glad I listened to him. I guess he does have some respect for me, after all. Corrected papers. Lorraine + Alberta helped me

1942 Thurs Martini's are a little too much for me - at least after a day of shopping - Bought some flat Spectators!... We rilly dressed up for dinner -

1943 Fri We went to a New Orleansy place for dinner - which was good. Then to Dark Eyes. (At which I was only moderately amused!) I lugged around the bunch of lilac every place

MAY 26

1939 Fri 10:30 - Feel awful

Fooled myself last night - went to sleep instead of studying - 11 hrs. - Studied this morning + tonight w/ M. Allan + M. Vercoe 

1940 Sun I think I just snapped out of jag phase. I hope its over... Went to church with Mother... All day practically, I've been thinking about the War. I didn't think it would even affect me personally, but it has. Out w/ Jake.

1941 Oddly enough, I've enjoyed myself today - Slaved from 7:30 to 6:00 1/2 hr to get ready. Really managed to look presentable - At least the kids thought so - Tom sent me 3 huge gardinias. Yes - I wore them - 

1942 Tues Well, we're going to Minneapolis tomorrow. Can't get too thrilled about it. Suppose I should go, though. Leonard could have said g'bye to me!

1943 Wed Marie Johnson's staying with me. I'm convinced she's quite mad. Quel naivete... she wants to get a librarian job w/ Pan Am. I ate late + by myself. Didn't mind.
