Naught for my comfort. In spite of the fact that it seemed as if the worst at school was over – this year I had five free periods (of which one, I devote to giving Linda Parker a private lesson), two periods as good as free (supervising the sixth – 2 or 3 girls), another “good as free” (sitting in on TV drama with 50-60 kids), very easy first year classes – I have landed myself well and truly in…
