26-30. Last evening the largest house centipede I have ever seen died peacefully on our bathroom
rug. . . . Like two aging animals who have come into a belated understanding with each other, we
achieved a mutual tolerance if not respect. He had ceased to run with that flowing, lightning-like
menace that is part of the horror of centipedes to man; and I, in my turn, ceased to drive him away
from the woolly bathroom rug on which his final desires had centered.

31-36. I have just spent another 45 minutes in trigonometry. We had a quiz on probability today.
I went into class uncertain whether I understood combinations and permutations because I have
been absent for most of the unit, but everything worked out and I did very well. . . .Doing well on
the tests should be a good indication of how well I understand the material. Sometimes, though,
I fall into the trap of thinking that I can get by without doing my homework. I wish that I could get
rid of this recurring laziness. The assigned homework is usually not very long or difficult, but it is
hard to do when it just seems like busy work.
