Dear Mom and Dad and Joan,                    Mon. Dec 4 [1972]

I did a wash this morning. Nice clean sheets etc.

Thanks for writing, Dad. I stopped thinking about the Physics professor. I've got a Physics test today. I'm all set.

The last day of the semester is Dec. 22. Classes are to end a 5:00 pm on that day (Friday). The last week (18-22) will probably mainly or all be exams. I think I have one or two exams on the last day. I'm not sure whether there will be an exam schedule which will change the times that I usually attend classes these ^last days, but if not I will be out of class between 3 and 4 pm Fri the 22nd.

             Tues. Dec 5

St. Boniface burnt down last night from about 4 am on, till daybreak. We had no water in Skeath hall from 7 am till about 5 or 6 pm yesterday. Workers are still outside today working on the broken water pipe.

My physics test went OK. I think was a little over confident, though: As a result I probably got a 90

instead of 100.

Ever hear of a PPJ (pyknic practical joke). It's someone who has the predominant characteristics of a mesomorph when younger (untill about 30-40) then becomes endomorphic. It is Sheldon's concept, from his constutional theory of personality. Another good one is dysplasia, which is, ^{for example} like being endomorphic in the thoracic region and mesomorphic in the lower appendages. 

I saw The Vandals with Harry Reasoner and a cast of thousands last night. The Roman barbarians live again. 

Blastoff to the moon tomorrow night. [Apollo 17]

The previous balance due today is only $9.24 but was $485.00 when the student bill was sent to you. $450.00 was just taken off by the NDSL and $26.64 was taken off by work study. I won't take the remaining $9.24 into consideration because I have already worked enough hours since the last cash credit to take care of the remaining balance. Work study ($200) can be subtracted from the remaining net amount due ($480.00) to give $280.00 due. 

Enclosures (parent's copy of student bill; two previous cash credits). Please transfer $280.00 from my savings account to my checking account. Thank you.

Thank you for your support.

Love,

Mike
