Check These Off the List

I got so many things done yesterday. It was wonderful. I love Fridays. In the morning I studied another chapter in Genesis, and then I studied for my world lit final. In the afternoon I did a chapter of Raising Maidens of Virtue; started writing the next part of “The Role of Girls;” went on [...]
