TRANSLATION ATTEMPT
A good day. Every day is different
(verschiedene).
In the morning, I played very well for my horn
lesson.
Then we worked more on my composition (Fantasy on
Broken Glass). We did quite
well (ziemlich
gut gegangen) but did
not finish yet.
Then, for a rest, I went to see a Buster Keaton film.
Very, very funny.
And now, I am writing a letter to my family because I
have not written them in a long time.
END TRANSLATION
Lesson
for today—Ying and Yang. Yesterday,
I was complaining and said I had a bad day. Today,
I’m having a great day—both on the horn and for my
composition. Lesson—if you’re having a bad day, wait.
The next day may be better.
A
letter home. Thank
goodness I’m writing a letter home. I don’t seem to
be doing that a whole lot. I think we get so busy
that we forget that everyone in our family is
wondering how we are doing. In those days, writing
was the only option. A phone call was very
prohibitively expensive. It’s not like we had cell
phones, or Skype.
