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 9⁄10 of the world anyway!
Love,
Syl
