Dear Mother and Daddy
I've gotten settled in my classes now and I'm very pleased with all of them. I didn't take any except those I wanted to take. I can't get over how interesting Sociology is. The only trouble is that I'm afraid I'm reading my assignments more for pleaseure than for study and I'll have to study. It worries me that the students in my classes are all so much more advanced than I am and know so much more. Even though I do awfully good work according to what I'm doing. I probably won't get too good a grade since the others will be able to do so much better than I but anyway I shall try hard.
Yesterday I only had to classes. Pol Sci from 8-9 and Spanish from 9-10 so I cam home early and after lunch I went up to the boathouse for a little while and knitted. My sweater is coming along fine expect I'm certain it will take me forever to finish it. Last night Bob took me out to dinner and to the ballet. He is having vacation

this week but he didn't have time to go home so he's just been loafing around campus. The ballet was one of the most wonderful things I've ever seen. The whole thing was one ballet. The Sleeping Beauty. The scenery and the costumes were just darling. They had all the little fairies and each little fairy had a little girl to carry the gift and at the end they had little dances of Cinderella and the Prince putting on her slipper. The White Cat and Puss-in-boots and Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. It was all just darling and I wish you could have seen it because you certainly would have enjoyed it.
It's Saturday morning now so there isn't anything else to write about. But I shall write again very soon.
Love to all Mary
P.S. My laundry box arrived and I was certainly glad to get it. Thank you very much for sending it so soon.
Love Mary
