  Sep.30

  I moved into the dormitory today-an ugly building and near a busy main road too.My room is small but quite pleasant.I must get some posters for the walls, though.I met a few fellow students at supper(the food was awful!)They all look much younger than me.They are, of course!

  Oct.07

  Lectures began last Monday.So far they haven't been very interesting(except for the man who lectures on drama.He's first class).Personally, I'd much rather go to the library and read, but I have to attend ten lectures a week.Those are the "rules"!Well, at least you meet people there.

  Oct.12

  I realiy don't like life in the dormitory at all.The food is bad and the students are noisy.They stay up half the night and play games just outside my room.When on earth do they sleep?When do they work?Besides, I don't like my room.It's just like living in a box!It looks even smaller now, with the posters on the wall.I am wondering how long it will he before I can feel as comfortable as I did living in my high school dormitory.

  Oct.26

  I tried to explain some of my problems to my supervisor today.She listened-but that was about all."You have to go to lectures, you know, Ann, "she lold me.''And the dormitory is cheap and convenient.""Cheap and convenient"!Well.il isn't "cheap"if you can't eat the food and it isn't "convenient"if you can't sleep at night!

  Oct.30

  I can't believe it!Three other students-I met them at a lecture and they' re all about my own age-have invited me to share a flat with them.It's in an old house and it has its own kitchen, so we can cook for ourselves.And my room-righy at the top of the house-is fantastic!

  Nov.10

  I moved into my new room last Sunday.I feel really happy.Life is going to be so much more fun from now on!

“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment.“lf you carry on, one day something good will happen. And you’II realize that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”

Mother was right, as I discovered after’graduating from college in 1932, I had decided to try for a jo’o in radio, then work my way up to a sports announcer. I hitchhiked to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station-and got turned down every time. In one studio, a kind Iady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring an inexperienced person.“Go out in the sticks and find a small station that’Il give you a chance,” she said. I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois.

While there were no radio-announcingjobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me. But I wasn’t hired. My disappointment must have shown.“Everything happens for the best.” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to hunt a job. I tried woc Radio in Davenport, Iowa. Ra. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur told me they had already hired an announcer.

As  I  left his office,  my  frustration(挫折) boiled over.  I  asked aloud,“How can a  fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?” I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling,“What was you said about sports? Do you know anything about footballtl” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. The preceding (往 HU的) autumn, my team had won a game in the last 20 seconds with a 65-yard run. I did a 15-minute build-up to that play, and Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturday’s game! On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother’s words:”If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”

I often wonder what direction my life might have taken if I’d gotten thejob at Montgomery ward.
