This week in my life

1965 I got my report card - it wasn't too bad! I still had an 85 average - honors. Here 'tis:

1965 I finished my yellow wool dress and wore it today - I'm wild about it! It turned out great! I got lots of compliments. It gets me embarrassed, though. I don't know what to say after I've said "thank you". In gym we played basketball - or started, at least. I sat for Ks tonight - $1.50 more.

1965 I had nothing to do except my work all day. I'm bored stiff. I have nothing to sew! I figure this summer if I don't work at Camp Maria Pratt I can do sewing in my home for people around the here. It would have to be on a first come, first served basis.

I seem to be always opening up this journal on a Sunday and lying in a sunny spot on our unmade bed, with the laundry basket next to me. Do winters become shorter as we get older? They are not so hard to take, somehow. February is not too far from March, which becomes April before …

1965 We went to school an hour late today because the roads were icy. I had to miss gym. Rats! We’ll never get through the year at this pace! We have to go through everything very slowly for the freshmen and just between me and me, it’s a horrible bore! Ah, well, they are a lot of fun even if they are uncoordinated, etc.
Loved reading about your trip to NYC. Love NYC
Never liked to sew but also made a dress everyone was wild about at that age. Tan and brown.
