midnight
I wish -- I wish -- oh , I do n't know what I wish ; I ought not to be bound to any one ; but I suppose I love John . Jan. 2 . If women are not meant to study , Prof. Darmstetter should be pleased with me . Instead of working up my laboratory notebooks , I have sat until midnight , dreaming . `` Go to bed early and get your beauty sleep , '' says Aunt , but I push open the window and lean upon the sash and let the cold air blow over me . I 'd like to dance a thousand miles in the moonlight ; I 'm so young , and so strong , and such glorious things are coming ! To-morrow I shall have a foretaste of the future ; I shall know what other people -- not John and my relatives -- think of me .
