Dear Mom and Dad,                     Wed. the 29th. [Nov. 1972; has a Wed the 29th, Dec. 4, 1972 letter states that "I stopped thinking about the Physics professor," an issue mentioned in this letter.]

I'm glad you got back okay.

David Long is correct (you said you ran into his mother). I'm alright now; have gotten plenty of rest in the last couple of days; the headache went away when I said it did (and didn't come back).

I signed some forms for the Loan (National Direct Student Loan--changed names from National Student Defense Loan) I'm getting. I don't need to send any forms home for parents signature or other information. 

No need to send up the socks I've got enough without them.

 I've got a lot of work to get organized and done ^{in the next week or so.} I have a Chemistry and Physics theory (the research proposal without the research). Also I have to start on an Embryology experiment which is to be reported on orally within 2 weeks and to be written up and handed in by the end of the semester. I'm really not feeling too confident about either of the tests or reports, but I hope to get through them without too much trouble. I didn't think I was really behind in anything but a vacation so close to the end of the semester kind of gives one a false security. One is supposed to be able to relax on a vacation (thats what a vacation is all about), but

to be able to relax during the vacation he should plan to work like hell before and after vacation.

I didn't work hard enough before or during vacation so now I kind of feel lost as to what time I should use to get what thing done. So I've just been sleeping away a good bit of the time that I really need for studying.

I'm glad I wrote this letter. I don't know that it makes much sense to any one else But helps me realize what I'm doing so that I can do better.

I will get through. I will make it.

My Physics teachers has been humiliating me. I don't understand. He asks trick questions that in a way can not be answered directly with the right answer. ^Therefore He leads you into the wrong answer. Then he jokes about you as a person in some indirect manner. It really shouldn't hurt, but it does. Like I said I don't understand.

Take it easy.

 Love,

 Mike
