MARCH 1: Stayed home. Rested up.
MARCH 2: Got some rest. Was absent from school.
MARCH 3: Got research paper back. A+! Went to Writer's Round Table.
MARCH 4: A pretty good day. I feel happy. Wrote poems.
MARCH 5: Got "Out of the Silent Planet," "Perelandra,"
"That Hideous Strength," and "Glinda of Oz." I'm torn
between joy and euphoria.
MARCH 6: Got "The Lord of the Rings" Cliff Notes and an eye
check. (March 7)
MARCH 7: Worked. A dull day.
MARCH 8: Rested. A dull day. Read.

MARCH 11: Got "Farmer Giles of Ham," "The Adventures of Tom
Bombadil," "Deus Irae," and "The Acts of King Arthur and
His Knights" by John Steinbeck.
MARCH 12: A boring day. I must get my glasses. Soon!
MARCH 13: Work was fast and easy. No big problems.
MARCH 14: Went to Nanny's and just waited around. Went to work. Drew
"Morg" [on big cardboard]. Got glasses.
MARCH 15: Worked a usual day. Went to [driving] simulator.
MARCH 17: A regular school day. Learned more on the simulator.
MARCH 18: Got "I, Claudius," "Claudius the God,"
"Count Brass," "Champion of Garathorm," and Famous Monsters
#173.
These are all the days I recorded of that March. I see that for all my last-minute scrambling I got an A+ on my English paper. Perhaps Mrs. Richardson was being kind, or maybe I was just such a GENIUS! I include covers of the books I no longer have. I found "Glinda of Oz" particularly gratifying, as it completed the fourteen Oz books that Baum himself wrote. I have a different copy of "That Hideous Strength" since this one fell apart. The trilogy was one of the few good presents that Nanny ever got me. Every spring I celebrated "The Destruction of the Ring" with some feasting and ceremonies. I'll have to write about that in another entry.
