Last services for me on the organ for this spring.  Baccalaureate this evening. Went to Mrs. Martens to finish the sopa de fideo* etc. of yesterday’s party.  She told our fortunes and I am to get my wish.  I wished for a companera for this summer.  Also I am to take a short trip soon (El Paso?) and get some money (que bueno!)
