The day has passed off as usual. We had composition to day instead of mathematics. I was very glad of the change. Old Barnum<ref id="ref1" target="note1" rend="sup">1</ref> read two or three of the best ones. He ridiculed some of them, and he praised some too. There was a good deal of confusion in prayers this evening. One fellow couldn't find a seat, sat upon the steps of the rostrum. <name key="pn0001638" reg="Swain, David Lowry" type="person" rend="yes">Old Bunk</name> told him to get up. He had to sit in a fellow's lap till prayers was over. I have a tremendous hard lesson to get to night. I dread it too. It is a greek lesson. <name key="pn0000510" reg="Fetter, Manuel" type="person" rend="yes">Old Fett</name> will rush me, I expect if he calls on me in the morning. The Students say, that he knows more about Greek than English. </div2> <div2 type="entry"> <pb id="unc06-79-p02" n="2"/> <opener> <dateline><date>Tuesday, Sept. 15<hi rend="sup">th</hi> 1857.</date></dateline> </opener> It is warmer to day than ever. Nothing very <hi rend="underscore">extraordinary</hi> has happened to day. I thought some I would get a letter to day, but I never. This evening I was so sleepy. I laid down on my trunk and went to sleep. I was sitting there studying, and laid down time I got over my lesson. The flies would not let me sleep long. After I came from recitation this morning, I amused myself by catching flies for about fifteen minutes. There was another "<hi rend="underscore">Newg</hi>" in our section this evening. The boys bored him a good deal. One fellow bored <name key="pn0000795" reg="Hubbard, Fordyce Mitchell" type="person" rend="yes">Old Hub</name> by making [fiss] with his book. He <name key="pn0000795" reg="Hubbard, Fordyce Mitchell" type="person">(Old Hub)</name> looked straight at him for about five minutes. After supper I went out to the brick yard and looked at <name key="pn0001357" reg="Phillips, Charles" type="person" rend="yes">Old Fatty's</name> pump. He is making a pump to bring water from the branch<pb id="unc06-79-p03" n="3"/>about one hundred yards off. I can't describe it for it isn't done. There was another fellow along with me. We stayed about half an hour looking at it. This is the worst kind of paper to write on. I beg to be excused for all the blotches I make in it (<hi rend="underscore">the book</hi>). I know I will be <gap reason="[unrecovered]"/> with it, and expect will spell some words wrong in my hurry. </div2> </div1> </body> <back> <div1 type="notes"> <note id="note1" target="ref1">1.
