5th
Stayed homeh once again. Patrice bought me my books. Says that alot of kids are absent. Got alot of work to do. Might go tomorrow. I don’t have my report on the Aborigines ready yet.
6th
I went to school. Everything went all right. Except, I spent the whole afternoon in the office. They said I had an aftereffect of the measles. Mr. Letcher, the ass. principal, can’t get my name right. I keep correcting him. He keeps getting it wrong. They couldn’t send me home because mommy was at the teachers. Daddy was Dials, nextdoor. I don’t see why I couldn’t go home.
7th
Mr. Langen was absent. My outline on thr aborigines is done at last.
I went to catechism. Was absent three times, cause I was sick.
