Diary of a Cosmonaut
Medical examination from the morning. My whole body aches, especially the muscles at the front of the shins below the knees; my lower back and thighs hurt — the state of a broken man. I walk like an old man, though I feel wonderful inside. Today I tried to sit down and write my report for the State Commission; it’s going slowly, but it has to be written. I enjoy the walks. Tolya was awarded 2nd class, and I was awarded 1st class. That’s a high evaluation of our work. Watched the film Mistake of the Resident. Talked with Lyusya. Vitalik got a D in Russian and asked Lyusya not to tell me, but she let it slip on the phone. He says: “Why did you do that? You know you’re not supposed to upset him right now.”
