APPENDIX 2
Back to School Commandments

 

I will not overwhelm him by breathless over-enthusiasm.

I will not throw myself at him physically.

I will be moderate, yet intense, and interested.

Back to School Commandments

Keep a CHEERFUL FRONT continuously.

Science – don’t get upset. You have to get an A so you have to learn this. You can: You proved it by getting 2 good test marks.

Unit – Don’t panic. Ask for an extension if you need it. Write allegory paper this weekend. You were in infirmary a week if he needs excuses.

Davis1 – ask for extension if you need it. You’ve done enough words theoretically anyway. Do paper for him in exam period.

See Schnieders. Be calm, even if it is a matter of life & death.

Get Mlle written.

DO EXERCISES

Get a lot of sleep: afternoon naps if necessary

Remember: 5 months is not eternity. 2 months is not eternity. Even if it looks that way now.

Attitude is everything: so KEEP CHEERFUL, even if you fail your science, your unit, get a hateful silence from Myron, no dates, no praise, no love, nothing. There is a certain clinical satisfaction in seeing just how bad things can get.

P.S. Remember – you’re a hell of a lot better off than 910 of the world anyway!

   Love,
