This morning Brinker came in and congratulated me on having such a big room to myself. And then he said "I'll bet you knew all the time Finny couldn't be back this fall. That's why you picked him for a roommate, right."(pg.79). But then I suggested to go and smoke some cigarettes in the "Butt Room" or the basement, which got him off that topic. But still every one keeps on bringing up, that I hurt Finny on purpose. Like I know there kidding but still what if they know I did do it on purpose. But I go before smoking to study for French. Then we all went to shovel the rail rode to relieve wartime labor shortages. But a good thing from doing that was that we got money. And on our way there we found Leper cross-county skiing. He said "You think there's a path through those woods?"(pg.87). We had teams for shoveling and on my team we had Brinker and Chet Douglas, which was very, very boring. On the way home we were all talking about the war and it looks like we are all eager to be involved. They were talking about when there going to enlist and stuff. Quackenbush said he's going to finish school before he enlists, but Brinker wanted to enlist tomorrow. I thought about it and I think I will enlist, and when i got back to the room Finny was there.
