The most miraculous thing just ocurred - really. I got an A on a Civ. test. Not only that, there were only two A's in both classes and one of them was mine. I can't understand how I did it. But I'm all enthusiastic about studying for my Civ. final tomorrow. I think that I have a fairly good system of studying worked out - I'm certainly am going to try it again. I also just got back from taking my Spanish final and I think that I did all right on it. Physical Science, however, is another story.
Something else funny has happened - George - much to my surprise - called again and asked me to the Christmas Fortnightly - At the Christmas Forts, lots of the old members come back and look very superior at the other members. I really think that they enjoy it though I asked him if he would mind if I looked [bored] for the effect and he said no - so I said that I'd go. I forgot what you said about Mr. Puder

and I got a letter from him the next day telling me about it and asking me if I could go. I sort of feel as if I should go - so now I don't know what to do. George's brother will already have made reservations and gotten guests cards for Fort. So I don't think that I should break the date with him especially since he won't have time to get another date - Isn't this just typical of me.
I will certainly be glad to get home. Do you think - that is if you don't need me to help with anything - I could go Christmas shopping in the afternoon. I wasn't too successful up here. Also be prepared to feed me lightly - It's absolutely impossible not to gain weight up here - and it's fatal for me to gain weight.
Love to all, Mary -
