I am never so happy as when I am really engaged in good earnest, & it makes me must wonderfully cheerful & merry at other times, which is curious & very satisfactory.

I am much pleased to find how very well I stand work & how my powers of attention & continued effort increase.

I think I am more determined than ever in my future plans, and I have quite made up my mind that nothing must be suffered to interfere with them. I intend to make such arrangements in town as will secure me a couple of hours daily (with very few exceptions) for my studies.

I am cheerful. I don't know if I'm happy. There is a difference, you know.

I am curious about a lot of things. I'm perplexed and engaged.

When I am myself, I am happy and have a good result.
