November 15, 1938 Tuesday

S.U.W.T.S. In p.m. loafed and played football. In evening studied like everything on five sentences of English to Latin. You know I should think with a subject as hard as that that I would be very put out, being forced to study so hard. In math, I get so enraged if a problem doesn’t come out right, and I get little satisfaction when it does. But Latin is different. I put all my efforts into it until I force some answer into the question, and then I get the nicest feeling of victory hard-won!
