Dr. Scannell gave me a fierce eating to-day because I had not a History epitome done, but I explained to him at German-class that I could scarcely get my ordinary work done, not to mind extras. ((Aloys seems to have been the only boy in his class studying German, so could talk freely there.)) – Fr. Pat came to-day. We have not seen him for 5 weeks. He had to motor home this evening, however. – When I am studying, sometimes I get sort of panicky as to whether I am not really mucking up my brain with stuff which I will ignore after, and then I will have scarcely any left for music. But let the Fates decide!
