At college

College gets nicer and nicer, I like the girls and the teachers and the clases and the campus and the things we eat. We have ice-cream twice a week.

The trouble with the college is that you are expected to know such a lot of things you've never learnt. It's very embarrasing at times. I made an awful mistake the first day. Somebody mentioned Maurice Maeterlinck, and I asked if she was a freshman. The joke has gone all over the college.

But now when the girls talk about the things that I never heard of, I just keep still and look them up in the encyclopaedia. And anyway, I'm just as bright in class as any ofthe others, and brighter than some of them!

I have a new unbreakable rule: never to study at night, no matter how many tests are coming in the morning. Instead, I read just plain books - I have to , you know, because there are eighteen blank years behind me.

I never read 'David Copperfield', or 'Cinderella', or 'Ivanhoe', or 'Alice in Wonderland', or 'Robinson Crusoe' or 'Jane Eyre'. I didn't know that Henry the Eighth was married more than once or that Shelley was a poet. I didn't know that people used to be monkeys, or that George Eliot was a lady. I had never seen a picture of 'Mona Lisa' and (it's true but you won't believe it) I had never heard of Sherlosk Holmes.

Now I know all these things and lots of other besides.
